As a mac party, it has not found a favorite mechanical keyboard that is fully compatible with mac OS X shortcut keys. Finally could not resist living years ago to start the ikbc C87 green axis mechanical keyboard, and then with a few mac keycaps.
It was also made original
Two entry-level mechanical keyboards: iKBC C87 & Pennefather V500 Out-of-the-box review comments For a long time, I thought I wouldn't buy a mechanical keyboard, or even hate it. Mainly because the company's procedures are replaced one by one after the mechanical keyboard! in! too! noisy! It! Until one day, I grabbed the Pennefather V500S green axis keyboard that my coworkers eliminated and played for a while. It took about ten minutes to feel like it couldn't stand the noise and replaced it with the previous Apple Bluetooth keyboard. No change does not matter, this change back to find what seems to be ming_cz| Like 63 Comment 105 Favorite 144 View Details However, not long ago, seeing the information pushed by Auntie, Ikbc has released a new keyboard and is compatible with macOS.
Compatible with Windows/Mac dual system: iKBC introduced a new generation of G series "Gemini" 87/104 mechanical keyboard 449 yuan seen AkkoXDucky released today ZERO3108 gold sand black mechanical keyboard, then Xiaobian to take everyone to see another new keyboard. To say that mechanical keyboards on the market today can be described by the readers, but most of them are tailored for Windows system users. For Mac users, third-party keyboards are not much more than Apple's original keyboards. . Some high-end keyboards can be achieved by switching modes 54 Comments 65 Favorites 145 View Details Just in time to catch up with the keyboard promotions a few days ago, could not help but into one. Yes, you did not mistake, just for a few shortcuts, I bought a keyboard exactly the same
——————I'm the dividing line——————
â–¼ The package has become black, and the LOGO with WM on the front is printed, which means the keyboard supports windows and mac dual system, and the lower right corner is marked with the number G-87.
â–¼ out of the box process everyone is not interested to see, directly remove the keyboard, at first glance and the C87 is no different
â–¼Gifts is a wire puller, 6 color keycaps, 2 manuals, a manual is a Windows system is a macOS system
â–¼ Font design changes, font size is bigger than before
â–¼ At the bottom of the win key area, at the top of the F key area, the side of the corresponding mac key bit icons and letters
Here need to spit it, because there is the existence of C87, G87 is more attractive to mac users. Ikbc Why don't you just engrave the mac key, the windows key side engraved? Even if there really is a Windows user to buy G87, it's even easier to have a Windows keycap! !
â–¼keycap is used pbt material
Although the keyboard does not have a light, but it supports the modification plus lights, standard two-color light keycap, this is still very conscience, not many trade burr, good workmanship
â–¼Positive light, side engraved words are opaque
Because I prefer the sense of passage of the green axis, I still chose the blue axis version this time.
â–¼ CHERRY original blue shaft, with pbt keycap, feel pretty good
â–¼The space bar is the satellite axis, and the touch is softer than other keys.
â–¼The space bar is opaque
The shift key is also a satellite shaft but uses a light-transmitting key cap
The shift key is much shorter than the space bar, so it feels better
——————I'm the dividing line——————
G87 and C87 can hardly see the difference at first sight, but comparing the two, it can be seen that the two keyboards are chromatic, C87 is whiter and brighter, and G87 is yellowish and beige.
â–¼C87 in the upper left and G87 in the lower right
Looking closer you can see that the font on the keycap is completely different. I prefer the C87 font. G87's font always feels five big and three rough, not delicate enough, probably because of the processing technology of two-color light-transmitting keycaps.
â–¼ Make a move, it is easier to compare the differences between the two keyboards. G87's border is narrower than C87 so a little
â–¼ had to spit it, wire tie actually actually simple, almost the same thing, G87 price is more expensive than the C87 100, but in this detail, Jane is really unrealistic
â–¼ Weight, G87 is 29 grams lighter than C87, not much difference
The foot and slot design on the back of the G87 is the same as the C87, but it is slightly different in details.
â–¼Comparing keycaps, the two have the same shape, G87 has more adaptations to mac, but less win key locking function
â–¼G87 is a light-transmitting key cap, C87 is opaque
G87 addition to the C87 more than the mac adapter, but also increased the hardware macro programming, and can be independent programming windows and mac dual system, that is, the same key can be programmed in win mode, switch to mac mode and then program again Does not affect each other.
Programming starts with Fn+PgUp and ends with Fn+Home
The programming layer can be switched by pressing the ScrLk key. When the ScrLk button's lamp is lit, pressing the corresponding button will trigger the button's macro. The ScrLk button's light is off, you need Fn+ button to trigger the current button macro
â–¼ScrLk key lights, you can use the prepared macro directly
G87 and C87 gifts are also different, G87 presented a two-color positive key cap, C87 is a gift without a keycap
â–¼You can see that there are more obvious glitches on the gifted keycaps. Workmanship can only be said
——————I'm the dividing line——————
The G87 defaults to the windows mode. Press the Fn+Pause button at the same time to switch to the mac mode. At this time, the Pause button's light will be on. If you want to turn off the constant light of Pause key in mac mode, you need to press Fn+Esc at the same time. In the mac mode, click the Pause button again to switch back to the windows mode. The Pause button's light will also be turned off.
â–¼Pause button engraved with the logo of the new G series "WM" on the side, which stands for dual system support
One thing to note is that after switching to the mac mode, the two sets of command and option keys at the bottom of the keyboard are automatically swapped, requiring manual exchange of the positions of the two sets of keycaps.
The G87's biggest selling point is that it is compatible with the keyboard shortcuts of the Mac keyboard F zone, and I usually use this row of shortcut keys is still very high frequency, which is why I bought this keyboard.
â–¼F1-F4 area, consistent with the function of the mac keyboard
â–¼Note here that the Launchpad button does not work by default and needs to be set in "System Preferences - Keyboard - Shortcuts - Show Launchpad" and then you can use this button.
F5 and F6 are keypad plus/minus control buttons on the mac notebook keyboard. Ikbc will use F5 as the lighting effect switch button, F6 is to switch the 6 key no punch / full key no punch key. Because the G87 default is no backlight, the two button changes are appropriate, does not affect the daily use.
Here, the lighting effect switching function of F5 needs to be effected after installing a backlight and updating the keyboard firmware.
F7, F8, and F9 are media playing control buttons, which respectively correspond to "back, play/pause, and fast forward" functions. These three buttons are not perfectly matched. At present, F7 and F9 are only effective when using the video playback software “QuickTime Player†and the audio playback software “iTunes†that are provided by macOS. The use of third-party software such as video When playing "MPlayerX" and audio playing software "Netease Cloud Music" is invalid, this must be bad. Apple's own keyboard can perfectly control third-party software.
The two F7 and F9 keys are not perfectly matched, and they are invalid in my commonly used third-party playback software.
F10, F11, F12 respectively correspond to mute, lower volume, increase volume function, these three keys can be perfectly adapted
â–¼F10-F12 is the volume control
——————I'm the dividing line——————
As a keyboard that supports the Mac system, the performance of the IKBC G87 I think is not satisfactory. The media player control buttons are not well-adapted.
Since the C87 itself supports the function of adjusting the brightness and volume under the mac system, together with the imperfect media playback control of the G87, the G87 actually has two shortcut keys, Mission Control and Launchpad, than the C87.
The G87's cable tie was simply allocated, although this thing is worthless, but the user's feeling is very bad, after all, the price is more than C87 expensive 100 yuan. The G87 is more of a consolation to the button programming function, but I rarely use the programming function in everyday use.
So for me, the 100 dollars that the G87 outperforms the C87 is not worth it, but I don't want to retreat. Just use it. After all, this should be the best original axis support for the Mac shortcut keys. Get started with the keyboard.
