I always wanted to write a post about the C104 silver shaft. The delay was really too serious. Even this post was squeezed out every few days every few days. Before you start, you need to correct it. The lock Win in the cover image and unlock Win key are installed in reverse. It should be Win on the left, Win on the right, and Win on the right. When you install the keycap, it is reversed. If there is any error, you should use this as quasi.
At the beginning, I entered the pit more late, probably the first mechanical keyboard started a year ago, I still remember the brand is the Board, then used or Kay Hua axis, looks like now are for the original axis; but in a certain One day after going to a friend's house to play the K65 rgb red axis of a pirate ship, I felt that the hand feel was still very far. Although it was a red axis, the original and non-original factories were still different, so I left the Board on the second day. Fish (probably took less than a week), changed the Red Shaft of the thief ship's disciplinary, since then officially entered the pit, one year down should use more than 10 keyboards, the original shaft domestic shaft electrostatic capacitance Axis, etc., all common red and green tea red axes are used all over the place, basically they are fast-forward and fast-out, and they are immediately discharged when they feel dissatisfied for a period of time. . . (This is a disease, get ruled ah~~)
At present, these keyboards are still kept at home, and they may go out soon. . .
One day before the Spring Festival, I saw Zhang Aunt had a sunblock on an ikbc C104 silver shaft. I was curious about the silver shaft for a long time. I would like to try it out. There are two -50 peripherals at that time. Coupons, sent a friend to a certain value, the remaining one will not lose one million will feel lost, so decisively under a single C104 white silver shaft.
Ikbc c104 Cherry Shaft mechanical keyboard 104 keys Original Cherry shaft White silver shaft 449 yuan ikbc Taiwan Waters VortexGear's brand is a brand founded by enthusiasts. Ikbc is an abbreviation for "THE KEYBOARD TO CHEER YOU UP". Jingdong direct link At that time, it was still a platinum member of Jingdong Finance (trial version), and it could be reduced by 16 oceans again. Although it is not a god price (it looks like the silver shaft does not participate in those activities), it is still the most cost-effective silver shaft (no need for backlighting.) If the computer is placed in the study, it is basically not necessary to turn off the light and use the computer, and the individual does not like the backlight very much. It always feels distracted. As for why buy white? Because sometimes it is necessary to take care of the wife's use, ah, the white face value is higher ~~
The next morning after returning from my hometown to the Demontown after the Spring Festival, the courier's younger brother (who was my uncle) woke me up from my dreams. After I received the goods, I still remembered to say something to me: I'm sorry, it's better today. More than 9 o'clock is not too early, let me go to sleep for a while ~ ~
JD features a courier, a plastic bag, directly inside the packaging box of the keyboard, without any protective measures, East Columbia you are too confident about their own express delivery, plastic bags will not send maps, because I had already demolished.
Inside the plastic bag is the box, this box is simply a clear flow in the mechanical keyboard industry, ah, kraft paper box, positive brand model + website, back product parameters + simple instructions.
Out of the box, the box is not sealed, easy to use second-hand east evil ~ ~ dust cover below there is a layer of bags wrapped around the keyboard, is not to understand why it is not a bag directly wrapped dust cover and keyboard.
Moreover, I also found that the dust cover has been cracked, there are pictures and truth, Dongge you self-confidence of the fans of their own courier ah
The accessory is a wire puller and 5 red + 5 blue keycaps, as well as instructions.
The supplied keycaps are 1 R4 height and 4 R1 heights for each color. R4 can be used to replace ESC. 4 R1s can replace the arrow keys. If R1 replaces WASD, it will be inconsistent with the height of other keycaps on the same row. The inclination is not the same.
The design of the C104 is very concise. I personally like the design of this narrow border, with 3 lights in the upper right corner; and the keyboard brand ikbc can only be found on the side of the keycap on the bottom of the keyboard sticker and the space bar.
The shell of the keyboard feels a little matte feeling, non-kind skin material, hardness is also good, pull out in the position of the space is unable to move (this victory over the flame gun xt), forced to squeeze it there will be a little Deformation, strong enough!
The keycap is PBT material, OEM height, medium thickness, feels average, feels frosted, and the spacebar's keycap is a little bit yellower than other keycaps (what a ghost)
The new version of the C104 USB interface does not seem to have anti-magnetic ring, read some of the C10 on the JD on the red axis of the blueprint, some do not have anti-magnetic ring, personal speculation is that the new version of work shrinks, but still a gold-plated interface.
MX Speed ​​Silver, which is the silver shaft, but looks gray, haha
Then continue to talk about the other parts, and at the same time with some other keyboard for some simple and superficial contrast, there are supporting actors ikbc F108 and Gaussian GS87.
Ikbc f-108 Time Machine Cherry Shaft Mechanical Keyboard 108-key Original Cherry Shaft White Tea Shaft 549 yuan ikbc Fully invested in the production and R&D of PBT keycaps from the very beginning, insisting on using pure PBT raw materials to produce key caps, making the caps comfortable harm. And in 2013 and 2014, they introduced dual-color PBT keycaps and dual-color light-transparent PBT caps, making the dreams of countless keyboard players a reality. Ikbc F-108 time machine mechanical keyboard can make time on the keyboard, still use the Cherry original axis, and FN key can adjust the blue Jingdong direct link to Wikipedia 
GANSS GS87 Cherry Shaft No Backlit Backlit Gaming Mechanical Keyboard 87 White Black Shaft Ice Blue (PBT Edition) 478 Yuan PBT+Black Shaft + Blu ray, a good keyboard for users who prefer PBT keycaps. Jingdong direct link to encyclopedia 
On the F108 is GS87
C104 dust cover is a little worse than the F108, texture and fit are F108 to be more superior, here shot may not be clear, but feel free to feel can be felt, accessories packaging bag is F108's Better to lose. . . As shown in the figure below is C108 for F108, GS87 wood dust cover, poor review ~
The F108's wire is a braided wire, while the C104 and GS87 are just ordinary wires. It really is a penny and a piece!
C104 and F108 are three-way outlets, but the slot may be too large, resulting in the line in the card is not too tight, a little loose; GS87 is only an ordinary outlet design, so the design of the ikbc home is more reasonable. Since C104 and F108 are all three-way outlets, I only shot C104.
The F108 in my hand is the axis of the tea, and the GS87 is the black axis. I personally feel that the black axis is really too heavy, the tea axis is actually OK, and the sense of passage (very slight) is felt very quickly. Similar to the red axis. . . The current favorite is the silver shaft.
The bottom and legs of the C104 and F108 have a large area of ​​non-slip mats. The GS87's anti-slip mat is a bit small, and because the contact area between the foot and the desktop is different, the ikbc's keyboard is less likely to slide on the table due to careless touch.
Before the feet were unfolded, the heights of the C104 and the F108 were the same, the GS87 was slightly lower; the legs of the C104 and the F108 had two legs to suit different usage habits. The tightness of the legs was also well-developed. It is stable, will not shake, this is praise; GS87 is only one leg, the left leg is also shaking back and forth very much after the start, do not know if it is an example.
The slope of the side of the keyboard (not the keycap), C104 and F108 are a straight slope, while the slope of the GS87 is slightly curved like the Filco, of course, this has no effect on use.
The three keyboards all use satellite axes, and they all feel good about tuning. Ikbc's home space bar is slightly flesh (but it is also acceptable). The others are better than the K83 green axle I bought before. , That big button meat is not enough, especially the space bar feels pressed to go to play is not up; and GS87 because it is a black shaft, elasticity is good enough, so no sense of how fleshy, it touches the left Ctrl key a bit astringent, do not know what reason.
And C104's keycap font is more beautiful than the other two, F108 and GS87 two-color molding, are fracture fonts, aesthetics have to make some discounts.
Keycap material, C104 is PBT material, not easy to oil, while the F108 keycap is a two-color molding ABS material, but personal feel feels better than C104's cheap PBT, and C104's keycap burr more; GS87 is a two-color molding PBT, However, the hand is still inferior to the F108, and there are more glitches than the C104. In fact, at the low price, I still prefer ABS for simple touch.
Personally think that C104's work is very general, the gap between the keycaps are of different thicknesses. The 0-keycap in the digital zone is even more unsightly. Afterwards I chose the replacement. After the replacement, the situation is slightly improved, but it is not much better. And after the replacement of the dust cover is cracked, before the replacement, that is good but too much trouble will not continue to change, anyway, is not a big problem. The F108 and GS87 are better at this point than the C104.
In order to verify that the gap between the keycaps mentioned above is the keyboard problem or the problem of the keycap, I changed the F108's keycap to the C104, and found that the situation has improved, although there are still some minor flaws. There is still a lot of room for improvement.
experience feelings
The gram pressure of the silver shaft is the same as that of the red shaft. It is a linear axis and there is no paragraph feeling. However, the trigger key path and the bottom touch key path are shorter and the sound is smaller. I like these characteristics very much. In general, it is " "Fast", the so-called: martial arts in the world, no firm or not, only fast is not broken. . . Whether it's typing or playing games, it's just a touch. The following is a comparison chart of the official data of the red and silver axes.
At present, in the shaft body that I have used, I feel that the silver shaft is the most comfortable and suitable for me and may become my main keyboard. However, people who are accustomed to pressing the keycap cautiously enter it, and are more likely to miss it. After all, the trigger key range is 1.2mm, which is much shorter than the 4 major axes (on the importance of good typing posture...). I spent more than half a month In the past half a month, I accidentally touched it 2, 3 times. For example, sometimes playing “hello†would be labeled “niihaoâ€. However, the current input method is so powerful that it helped me correct it. In this case, when the password is entered using the numeric keypad, occasionally the user will accidentally touch the key adjacent to the key to be input. Sorry, the password error trigger key is too short.
This article is also written on a silver shaft and it feels good. In addition, because the bottom touch keystroke is shorter than the red axis, when you look at the island country's small movies, you often need to press the arrow keys quickly and quickly. This time, you realize that the short key path is powerful, haha. . . It is also because the bottom touch is shorter, so if you type for a long time, you will feel that the silver axis is a bit heavier than the red axis. I don't know if it is an illusion. Some people say that the hand feels like a red axis with a silent circle. I have no use. There is a silent circle and there is no way to comment.
to sum upIn general, the work of the C104 silver shaft has shrunk. However, if there is no demand for light, this keyboard is still the most cost-effective silver shaft on the market. There is no one.
advantage:
1. The white keyboard has a high facial value and is easy to match with a personalized keycap.
2. With the same number of grams of pressure as the red axis, the trigger keystroke and the bottom touch keystroke are shorter and the sound is smaller and faster.
3. Using (cheap) PBT keycap, not easy to oil.
4. There is not one of the cheapest silver shafts currently on the market.
Disadvantages:
1. The packaging box is not well protected and the dust cover is easily crushed.
2. The work is slightly smaller than the previous version, and the USB interface does not have a magnetic ring.
3. The keycap is irregular and has more burrs.
4. Fn function key combination is less, only the lock Win, volume adjustment and full key no punch switch.
