Continuation of colorful and high appearance upgrade, evaluation of dual form Rapoo V500PRO 2024

If the Rapoo V500PRO launched last year has an invincible price performance ratio, then its upgraded version, the Rapoo V500PRO 2024, which was launched shortly this year, not only has an outstanding price performance ratio, but also has achieved an all-round upgrade in experience and playing methods. Today, let's experience whether the newly upgraded Rapoo V500PRO 2024 can impress you on the screen.

1、 Appearance design and backlight: dual form+colorful is the highlight

Rapoo V500PRO 2024 version adopts a new 104 key appearance design, which provides a total of 6 colors, and we got all of them. It's a pity that Rapoo V500PRO 2024 provides 5 kinds of Rapoo independent mechanical shafts, and we have 6 keyboard There are only 3 types of shaft, and you don't experience the hand feeling of all shafts.

The dual form design of Rapoo V500PRO 2024 is very attractive. It adopts a detachable magnetic suction cover, which can switch between suspended and sunken instantly, and has very high playability. The advantages of the suspended type lie in the sense of long travel and easy cleaning, while the advantages of the sinking type lie in the stable hand feel and relatively small sound, while the dual form design of the Rapoo V500PRO 2024 version can have both. For those who are still struggling to choose the suspended or sunk design, there is no difficulty in choosing the Rapoo V500PRO 2024.

There are 9 strip magnetic suction points inside the removable magnetic suction surface cover, and the adsorption process is very simple. The magnetic attraction is of medium strength, so it is easy to remove it. Just lift it, and you can really switch in seconds.

In terms of color matching, Rapoo V500PRO 2024 continues the design of the previous generation of multiple color matching, simplifies the original rich color matching, selects several popular color matching, and makes small adjustments. The final six color combinations in front of us are sesame milk, blue tide, lime lime, blue sea and blue sky, and the classic moonlight white and obsidian black. The six color combinations are young and fashionable, with very high appearance value.

The visual effects of the first four color combinations are quite good. The collision between two different colors forms a unique visual aesthetic feeling, and different versions give different feelings. They can integrate into more environments and meet more user needs. Of course, those who are not interested in the "double color" can choose the classic moonlight white and obsidian black. The two color versions also have very good texture.

In terms of keyboard backlight, moonlight white and obsidian black support mixed color backlight. The mixed color backlight brings quite good visual effects to the moonlight white and obsidian black, especially when the light is dim. The other four color matching versions support pure white backlight, which I think is very correct. The combination of pure white backlight and "double color" can highlight the visual beauty of "double color". If it is replaced by a mixed color backlight, it will look messy. In terms of backlight quality, the brightness is enough and the color is even. Even in the sinking form, the backlight is still pleasing to the eye.

In addition to the keyboard backlight, the logo in the upper right corner of Rapoo V500PRO 2024 can also emit light (four double color blocking models are white light, and two black and white models are red light), and there are RGB side lights on both sides. The removable magnetic face cover also has light transmission treatment for the logo and three status indicators at the upper right corner, which does not affect the visual effect and daily use.

In terms of light effects, Rapoo V500PRO 2024 is very rich and has a high degree of freedom. The keyboard backlight has 20 light modes and 6 levels of brightness, which is very rich and has a large space for selection. The light mode can be switched through the shortcut key Fn+PgUp/PgDn, and the brightness and respiratory rate can be switched through the Fn+direction key. If the light is not needed, it can be turned off (on) through Fn+Esc.

The RGB side lights on both sides also support backlight mode switching, providing four light modes. In addition to RGB, Fn+Ins can also be used to switch to solid constant light/breathing. In these two modes, Fn+Del can also switch the color of solid lights, which is a very high degree of freedom. In addition, the logo light can also switch the light mode, and you can choose to stay on or breathe through Fn+V.

In terms of details, there is a protuberance in the lower right corner of the front of the keyboard, which is printed with the logo of Rapoo. The left side of the keyboard also has a bulge design, and the surface is twilled. This part is a separate color matching. The "double color" version is one of the colors, the moonlight white version is light blue, and the obsidian black version is bright green. This embellishment gives the keyboard a sense of hierarchy visually.

At the bottom of the keyboard, the wire of Rapoo V500PRO 2024 is separated, the keyboard side interface is USB-C, and the PC side interface is USB-A. At the bottom, slots in three directions are reserved for wires, and three outgoing modes are provided, namely, left, middle and right. They are flexible and can meet the needs of different users in line management.

There are four silicone foot pads in total, and the front two are relatively large. The actual experience is relatively stable, and the keyboard is not easy to move. The foot support is a two-part type, which can provide three heights, which is very convenient.

2、 Key cap and shaft body: Rapoo independent shaft body, five options

In terms of key cap, Rapoo V500PRO 2024 has two versions, of which PBT two-color injection molding is used for the "double spell" color version, and ABS two-color injection molding is used for moonlight white and obsidian black. If you care about the material of the key cap, please pay attention.

In terms of handle of key cap, there is no difference between the two. The key cap adopts concave design, with fine surface texture and comfortable touch. It adopts two-color molding process and closed characters. The materials used are still worthy of recognition, and the performance of anti fading and wear resistance is better.

In terms of shaft body, Rapoo V500PRO 2024 can choose five types of Rapoo independent mechanical shafts, namely, black shaft, green shaft, tea shaft, red shaft and linear silver shaft. The three types of shafts in our hands are green shaft, tea shaft and linear silver shaft. The advantage of Rapoo's autonomous mechanical shaft is that it uses dual wall dust walls, which can effectively reduce the shaking of the shaft center, so that it is more stable when triggered, and can still ensure a consistent feel even after a long time of use. Moreover, the official said that the single axle has a service life of 60 million times, which is relatively durable.

In terms of data, the trigger stroke and trigger pressure of each axle body are: black axle 2.0 ± 0.6mm, 60 ± 20cN; Green axis 2.2 ± 0.6mm, 50 ± 15cN; Tea axis 2.0 ± 0.6mm, 45 ± 15cN; Red axis 2.0 ± 0.6mm, 45 ± 15cN; Linear fast silver axis 1.3 ± 0.5mm, 45 ± 10cN.

In terms of actual hand feel, among the three axes experienced, the hand feel of the green axis and the tea axis is the same as expected, the former is crisp, and the latter is light and soft. The touch of the linear silver axis is very interesting, very familiar, and has an inexplicable sense of pleasure when typing fast. It is also quieter than other axes, and suitable for more scenes.

The big key adopts the satellite axis scheme. The feel of the space bar is slightly different from that of the small key, but not very big. The overall feel of the keys is very consistent.

3、 Control Software : Support firmware upgrade, 103 key programmable

In terms of software, users can visit Rapoo's official website download Control software of Rapoo V500PRO 2024. The volume of the software is not very large, and the interface is very intuitive. With the left and right layout, the difficulty of getting started is very low.

Thanks to the onboard storage of Rapoo V500PRO 2024, it not only supports 103 key (except Fn in 104 key) programmable, but also supports firmware upgrade. The software also provides corresponding operations, and the space for user customization is very large. In addition, Rapoo V500PRO 2024 also supports full key position conflict free, which is very important for users who rely on combination keys.

In the configuration file function, three are provided by default, and users can add or delete them freely. Fn+F1-F12 provides 12 kinds of multimedia shortcut functions by default, which are basically commonly used. In addition to 12 multimedia shortcut functions, the software also provides 7 browser Shortcut function, which can be set by yourself if necessary. Of course, users can customize any key except Fn, and set macros and function keys, such as one key copy, one key minimization of all windows, or one key multi-step operation through the set macro.

The interface of macro manager is also intuitive, and the operation difficulty is relatively low.

In the light mode management part, the user can directly switch between 20 light modes and adjust the brightness and speed of the light. Unfortunately, the RGB side lights and logo lights are not integrated into it, and can only be adjusted through the shortcut key. It is hoped that this function can be added in subsequent software updates.

Rapoo V500PRO version 2024 supports firmware upgrade, so in the system configuration, in addition to power on self startup, factory recovery and drive In addition to update, it also provides firmware update function. Later officials may add new functions or improve the performance of the keyboard in this way.

4、 Summary

Compared with the previous generation, the V500PRO 2024 version of Rapoo has changed a lot. In particular, the detachable magnetic suction cover has realized the dual forms of suspension and sinking, greatly increasing the audience. Stylized color matching continues with unique visual beauty. In addition, with the stable performance of Rapoo's autonomous axis, high light effect and 103 key programmable feature, the price is less than 200 yuan (currently, 159 yuan for the "Shuangpin" color version, 129 yuan for the Moonlight White and Obsidian Black version), which is still very friendly to the people.
