The new job is biased toward text entry, hoping to find a keyboard that is suitable for large amounts of text entry. In addition, it is difficult to place the pirate ship K70 LUX on the desk. So we began to consider the legendary electrostatic capacitance keyboard, which has some static capacitance in this station. Original, but a lot of prices are high in the economic considerations selected a PLUM 87-key waterproof static capacitance keyboard.
Since I have experience in burning mechanical keyboards, in my opinion the static capacitive keyboard is currently a small and beautiful thing. Small, reflected in the current market share is small, the United States is reflected in it has a very unique feel, it is clearly different from the mechanical axis. However, it is also different from the traditional film. Capacitance triggering is actually an earlier technology. At present, the foreign static capacitance keyboards are mainly Topre's RF and Fujitsu's HHKB. Due to Topre's technical monopoly and pricing strategy, the price of static capacitive keyboards has been high.

The structure of PLUM refers to Topre. I hope this PLUM waterproof capacitance will give me a pleasant surprise.

The packaging is PLUM corrugated packaging. Accessories have manuals and booster springs (mentioned below)
Model is 87EC (XRGB) YT/35gf, 87 is arranged, EC stands for static capacitance series, keyboard with RGB function, global 35 grams pressure and ABS key cap and other information. After a period of use, I think that 35g is a more appropriate number of grams of pressure for text input, lighter than Cherry 45g trigger pressure, reduce the fatigue caused by long input and joint pain, if you want to improve the number of presses Can be solved by booster spring, of course, this also has a 45g version to choose from.
The main body of the keyboard adopts a suspended design. The appearance of the keyboard is quite satisfactory, there is no place for great color, and no obvious black spots can be found.
With translucent upper and lower covers and frosted glass effect, silver metal positioning plates can be seen directly from the top cover.
The silver positioning combined with the transparent cover gives a more general feeling. After turning on the backlight at night, this design reflects its own advantages. The steel plate has processed creases on the arrow keys, which is simple but not monotonous.
The large key position adopts a bold balance bar design. The dragon boat card is relatively tight, and the key path of the large key position is very stable, especially the tuning of the space bar is relatively rare. The following figure adopts the sliding dial test.
The PLUM static capacitance uses a cross-fader, is compatible with conventional mechanical keyboard keycaps, uses an OEM layout, and can easily replace other individual keycaps.
The back of the PLUM waterproof electrostatic capacitor uses a transparent bottom cover to clearly see the red PCB board and components. Using a relatively high-end RUBYCON (Japanese Ruby) capacitor, the reliability is relatively high, showing that the overall keyboard material is better. Since this piece is at the bottom of the keyboard, it cannot be seen in use, so it is a matter of appearance.
The keyboard has three guide slots, five non-slip pads, and a drain hole. There are also two elevated legs for the left and right legs. The leg is an external soft material that prevents scratching the tabletop.
35g for text entry, some players may be more than 45 grams to adapt to the trigger key process, or to take into account typing and games in some games may have misunderstood, this time as long as put on the booster spring, you can increase the trigger Pressure to prevent the game from touching.
The supporting driver can be used to customize the key position and record the macro, and adjust the interval time for each keystroke, which is much simpler than the setting without the keyboard.
PLUM should be the first manufacturer to add RGB functionality to a capacitive keyboard. On the keyboard, conventional lighting effects such as colorful loop, pop mode, cymbal mode, and breathing mode can be directly set. In addition to its own RGB equivalence, it supports the driver's control of lighting effects and customizes settings for single keys.
The influence of the transparent border makes the lighting effect be compared and introduced, the border will also be programmed with the corresponding color, and the entire keyboard is integrated.
I first thought it was this waterproof 87 static capacitance, because the floating structure of the key cap to block the water inlet gap to do waterproof. As a result, the demo video was still shocked. PLUM 87 waterproof static capacitance can directly withstand the front splashing water. However, it should be reminded that to avoid sugary liquids (cola, etc.), the key position will become stuck after drying. This does not waterproof the bottom and bottom of the keyboard, but it is still very satisfactory, because there is a non-slip pad to enhance the height of the bottom case, the normal case of splashing, the drink is not inside the bottom shell.
Regarding the touch, the voice of the blue axis is “Chek, Chekâ€, then the sound of the PLUM 87 anti-hydrostatic capacitance is “啵啵啵â€. The feeling of typing is relatively comfortable, and the smoothness is improved compared with the previous generation. It also removes the rustling of the previous generation and the overall percussion experience has been improved. After a text entry, the weight of 35g did indeed achieve the desired effect, light weight is not weak.
The domestic mechanical keyboard players have experienced novelties and pursued cool looks. Now they have returned to the touch. After all, the core of a keyboard is still a keystroke. Whether it is a mechanical or a film or a maverick electrostatic capacitor keyboard, the principle of triggering, as long as the intention is to do, in essence, these three are only ways to pursue a good feeling. Only.
General comments:advantage:
1. The electrostatic capacitance keyboard is a product that loves people who love it and who they don't love. The market for this piece needs development.
2. Excellent hand feel, also a knocking experience that the mechanical keyboard cannot simulate at present. Especially long-term text input, the feeling of a little water can effectively relieve fatigue.
3. Compared to Topre's static capacitance, it's much cheaper and feels better than the previous generation. If you really want to choose a static capacitor to enter the pit, and you like the RGB effect, this keyboard is a good choice.
4. The imported leather cup made of silica gel has a very slow decline and is guaranteed in terms of life and reliability.
Disadvantages:
The transparent bottom case can directly see the red PCB version. Although it tastes better than the green one, people who do not like it can't accept it.
The key line separation structure is not adopted and it is not convenient for storage.
