白色 - NiZ 电容式蓝牙键盘 35g

I had read about these types of capacitive rubber dome switches before and seen a couple of reviews of both Topre switches and Niz (this type (which are Topre style clones)) and the reviews tended to be very favorable. I had no idea how much I would really enjoy these switches.

The switches are incredibly light at 35 grams of force required to press (though you can increase it to 45 with the included add on springs) and it took me a couple of days to get used to pressing them without mashing them down really hard but in the end it has really ruined Cherry style switches for me. The feel is just so incredibly smooth on the Niz Plum Atom 68 and it is a joy to type and game on (since these are capacitive you can actually change at what height the keys activate for faster response). It also helps that the keycaps are relatively thick PBT with a nice texture to them.

The mixture of the great switches with additional dampening, the quality keycaps and the solid board construction (I'm pretty sure that there is a heavy metal plate that the switches are mounted on) make for a great feeling and incredible sounding typing experience. It's really quiet but the sounds that you do hear just sound like you are typing on something with amazing quality.

Another bonus is that the board is capacitive so you have NKRO (you can hit as many keys as you want without losing an input) and one other side benefit for me is that unlike my Cherry style switch keyboards this one works fine outside of Windows without switching to 6KRO. So, if you need to go in to your BIOS or enter a code for Bitlocker outside of Windows you don't have to worry about switching your keyboard from NKRO to 6KRO mode (at least this has been my experience).

The only downsides of this board are readily apparent by just looking at it. It doesn't have dedicated function keys so you have to press FN and one of the number keys, and it doesn't have a numpad. I don't think this matters for a lot of people and it's no deal-breaker for me. Just something to be aware of if you do a lot of work with your keyboard as it makes it a little less practical. The upside is that this board has a few extra keys that you don't usually have on boards of this size giving you a full (and normal) arrow key cluster, a dedicated Tilda and Delete key and a few other navigation keys.

In the end this keyboard looks and feels fantastic. If you need it for work then you may want to look into the Niz Plum x108 full sized keyboard that you can find at the Epomaker website but you'll have to wait for it to ship from China (which is what I'm currently doing since I ordered one recently).

This keyboard was totally worth it for me. It looks, sounds and feels fantastic and it just makes me want to type for fun now (maybe some Typing of the Dead or something).

easily the most comfortable typing/gaming experience i've ever had on a keyboard. after nearly a decade of religious dedication to cherry mx switches, this electrocapacitive board was a real breath of fresh air for me. although these are indeed rubber domes, the typing experience of this board effortlessly trades blows with top-of-the-line mechanical switches and can game just as well.

pros:
- thick laser-engraved pbt keycaps, can be removed and replaced due to a standard 87-key layout and mx stems.
- the bottom of the keyboard features a USB-C port, four small but functional rubber feet and two legs that offer either 6 or 9 degrees of tilt.
- niz's electrocapacitive switches are incredibly quiet, as they provide no harsh clicking sounds the same way many mechs do, but still yield a satisfying "thock" when bottoming out. even quieter than silenced topres. if you're looking for a sound test, search up Niz's atom66 on youtube; it uses identical switches.
- lubed stabilizers. so much yes! the keys sound smooth, not being scratchy at all.
- very little key wobble, partially thanks to the key stems being housed in plastic cylinders.
- sturdy plastic frame disallows loud "ping" noises when asserting more force into keypresses.
- n-key rollover allows for accurate typing, i can type my usual 120wpm with no errors and play games without any random misinputs or ghosting. a standard for keyboards in 2020, but still worth mentioning since this isn't your run-of-the-mill mech.
- programmable; haven't tried this feature yet, but being able to customize is always a plus.

cons:
- only received 52 out of the 87 springs that were to be included for an additional 10g resistance; not a big deal for me, as I'm already satisfied by the incredibly relaxed 35g typing experience.
- 35g keypresses make it painfully easy to mistype. if you're coming from heavier switches, around 55g+, you should be prepared for common typing accidents until you get used to the lightness. otherwise, 35g keypresses are sure to let you type/game for longer periods of time without muscle fatigue and hand cramping.

tldr:
need a portable TKL for work that won't leave your hands cramped after 8 hours of programming? want to know what it feels like to type on clouds while still being accurate and responsive while gaming? want to dip your toes into the electrocapacitive experience at half the price of an average topre board? want a quiet keyboard to keep the wifey asleep because those mx blues are going to result in a divorce? look no further.

I can’t find a fault in this keyboard. I really can’t!

It was probably 5 years ago, I was told to move on from my cruddy old standard membrane keyboard to a “proper” mechanical one, so, that’s what I did!

Now I’m at the point where I’ve used mechanical keys of all purpose. Clicky and tactile, Quiet and tactile, Quiet and linear “bumpless”. I can say for sure, mechanical is an improvement from those cheap keyboards we were used to buying for $20 from the nearest electronics store.

So. Why are companies coming out with opto-mechanical “electro-capacitive” switches? Now that’s a good question that I’ve been asking myself.

The first thing I did after hearing about these “NiX” switches is, of course, being internet savvy, I contacted some friends and asked around to see if anyone had first-hand experience... I got lucky.

This friend of mine went on about how he was into the mechanical keyboard and hotswappable keys hobby, and how he got a NiX keyboard not long ago. He said confidently that they are his favorite keys.

His answer left me very intrigued. I have been using linear switches at this point in time, and I was annoyed that the short activation made me mess up when I use my keyboard for typing. I like the linear feel for games, but the “tactile” feel gives the most honest feedback.

So, going out on a limb to say these keys would give me the best of both worlds, I pulled the trigger on getting this board- and boy, did I make the right choice!

I can’t express how pleasant it is typing on this board. I find myself making fewer mistakes while writing essays about whatever the current topic is in my online communities. I find the auditory and touch sense of this board to be synchronized in a way that it really is a “jack of all trades”. I can game very well with it and typing is, dare I say, perfect!

Now, I didn’t know how well a “opto-mechanical” keyboard’s build quality would be, but this is above the standard of most high end mechanicals I’ve had the pleasure of owning/using!

I love that it has a dual-option tab set for different board elevations. It wasn’t something I noticed at first, but I saw it and thought “wow, that’s clever”.
It’s the little things I guess...

After figuring out the few exclusive functions I could do in this keyboard I really fell in love with it.
One common issue I have when I run my PC when I’m away is having to worry about the keyboard getting pressed by accident and doing something I don’t want it to do. Instead of having to unplug it like my old board, I can simply press the button next to the escape to disable the keyboard.
It makes sense how this could benefit a cat owner.

All in all, I adore the layout, feel, proficiency and quality of build with this keyboard. If you have been looking for a quieter keyboard than pretty much any available mechanical, this is quieter! If you are interested in quiet keys but don’t know if you want tactile or linear, this really is a good in-between.

I couldn’t suggest this keyboard more, for the value it is awesome and strikes confidence in buying other Epomaker gear in the future. This company seems to really be making a name for themselves and are punching above their weight value to value versus other reputable brands.
