Wireless Bluetooth mechanical keyboard transformation

Foreword

All along, for Zhang Aunt, I was less original, because you are all technical people, think about the general product evaluation is not necessary. In particular, this piece of peripheral hardware is still relatively metaphysical, and nothing can withstand a touch. Back to the text, after I bought a decent peripheral from my computer, I was a bit uncomfortable and had bought many mice and keyboards. Of course, it was not such a collection control and the funds were not sufficient, so It is to play some peripherals within the limits that one can afford. Currently used mouse is: Corsair m65 rbg; Fuller g90; Ray Snake Mamba 4g; Black Lord GTX (in the test, but I have not written evaluation, haha); Logitech trackball m570. The keyboard is a k95rgb red axis of a pirate ship; two black ak33, a black rgb axis, a blue-blue axis; a skeptical lolita5 tea axis (this time the protagonist). After entering the peripheral zone, the name of the big f is always heard, but the price and the degree of need also determine that I have not started, but after I have a pirate ship on the lights, I always want to say a wireless mechanical keyboard. In this selection, I have seen relatively few. In addition to discontinued production, the following are currently available: filco's 104 and 87, and minila; Anne's Bluetooth keyboard; rk61; recently released new mg; Luo Fei's dot mechanical keyboard; as if there is a Pyramid, but it is said that the feel and effect will not work, let's forget it. In these choices, filco's price is between 800 and 1200. For me, it would be a bit expensive if we do not eliminate the pirate ship. Both Annie and RK and mg are 61-key, which is very difficult for me. I still need the arrow keys, so I will buy two ak33. Luo Fei's feeling was strange. It was not suitable for me and it was not considered.

Ready to work

In summary, I actually have been waiting for filco87's special price or want to go fishing, but I have seen a thing from the recommendation of the richest family. It seems that what I particularly need is immediately taken, and it is the following . ( Xiao Bian said only to put the link, then that's it, the point is that the melon t-manufactured, I am based on this only have the following, the rest of the accessories but you can easily choose)

This is a bluetooth master, I remember before seen a similar Bluetooth mechanical keyboard transformation, the principle is the use of Logitech's wireless keyboard motherboard fly line docking, relatively speaking, the operation is difficult, the cost of OEM is also quite expensive . This Bluetooth master application principle I do not understand, please correct me, my personal guess should be through the master control key mapping, and then see the introduction is also very satisfied, that is, after the transformation does not affect the original features, wireless / wired dual Module can be. Orders quickly arrived from Nanjing to Changzhou. At the time of purchase, the seller sent two lines. See the figure below.

After buying the master, he read the seller’s manual and found that the keyboard that was mainly supported must be a 6-button no-rush, but also consulted the store, k95 does not have the conditions, the black prince is full-key no red, may change the problem, so Want to think about it and bought a keyboard dedicated to transformation, choose the preferred axis is the tea, because only the tea shaft did not experience, and then originally wanted to buy laser extension mxx, but unfortunately the price has been inappropriate, and later found this, think it is In addition, it is not expensive and meets the requirements. Six keys can be replaced without rushing. Although the type of shaft replacement is limited, it is very attractive and convenient to change the shaft without using welding.

Picture everyone to see the first picture, not specifically put maps, bought the green tea axis, because a ducky before the blue red axis, and later still feel that the blue is too dazzling, do not like it. Recommend that you buy white light or orange light, I think the effect will be much better. This keyboard has four light colors, mixed light (pass, too Internet cafes fan), white light (feeling mother ....), blue light (glare), so bought a green light, the keyboard just to catch up with the graduation thesis, Also put a few days, the entire conversion is probably divided into two ends, first give everyone a look at the first paragraph of transformation, here only bought an orico Bluetooth receiver and a battery.

First test

This time it is relatively simple, is to connect the internal five-core cable of the keyboard with the main control interface a, and then use the interface b to connect the battery under the impact of the usb interface. The battery can be hibernated and can be connected quickly. It is very happy to use it smoothly. But this is not beautiful, looked under the Bluetooth main control sun single record, most of them are to get a box outside the keyboard, this is not in line with my Virgo aesthetic, I at least hope to be able to separate from the general key line The keyboard is as beautiful. So we began to prepare various tools and prepared to put this line into the keyboard.

Formal assembly

In the process of buying things mainly include: electric iron; electric suction device (checked, manual suction is not clean, are recommended electric); heat shrinkable tube; hot melt adhesive; miniusb female mouth (this can choose microusb Or type-c, I am relatively poor hands-on ability, selected a similar installation line sequence, but also just the same line with the ak33). Basically not how to take pictures in the process, because I was really doing soldering for the first time, and then all sorts of bad, and also started this at midnight at 11 o'clock. There was no turning back at the start. After finishing, I simply say the next thing. 1, the keyboard five-core line is a black rough line; black red and green white line, cut open to get copper wire; 2. to interface a welding, the four core wire is also exposed copper wire, and then use red corresponding Vbus, white corresponds to d-, green corresponds to d+, and black corresponds to gnd. The more out of that rough surface can be used, and it can also be connected to gnd, which does not matter. (Heat shrink tube did not arrive the same day, even if) 3. The interface b USB head to be welded, and then connected to buy their own miniusb female, the preparation work is completed. 4. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to the positive and negative terminals of the Bluetooth master. 5. Open a hole in the keyboard and release the miniusb female mouth.

The process is simple, but it is too complicated for me. I took more than an hour for a simple first step. First, the tin of the copper wire was poor, and then the solder was not good when connected, and it also caused the tin to fall. The process is all sorts of nuisances, so there are no empty pictures and forgive me. Temporarily complete the effect as shown

Here, we can test whether it can be used. After testing, it is possible to carry out the next step. Put these lines on the keyboard and do a good job of positioning. We must cut the bottom of the keyboard. See the figure

I just used a lighter and a gas stove at home. I cut it with scissors and a knife. I went back and forth about 10 times in the kitchen. On the right side was the USB port. The middle port was the original exit. You can see this keyboard. Can be out of the direction of the line, so originally wanted to pass out of the middle, but unfortunately the interface after the docking was suppressed, put uneven, and then we must cut all the front panel, and change the right side of the mouth. Fixed below

Soul artist-like fixed method, only the interface with a hot melt adhesive, because the consulting seller said that the main control of the octagonal ic fever, the battery heat with a hot melt adhesive will eventually be removed, the line will not be used, simply No use, then test whether it is ready for use after normal use.

The next step is to tighten the screws and install the keycaps. The effect is the first picture, completed.

This transformation is still very satisfactory, in addition to the usb mother mouth is slightly ugly, because the starting position is on, and there is no fixed upper and lower, the original program only exposed outlet is not stable, only the ic board is also inserted, and then fixed with hot melt adhesive See the figure.

The total budget for this renovation is 317 yuan, see the table below

Written in the end, this transformation program is still quite satisfactory, it does not affect the keyboard light program to switch to say the little problems in their own use: the first use can remember 6 devices, but can only connect one, can not switch After the second battery is dormant, it needs the connection cable to impact the dormancy. For me it is to boot or connect the charger, but the seller seems to have a switch to control hibernation. I really don't want to open the hole again; the third connection part of the equipment needs Connected 2 times, but this is an example. It's just a matter of pen writing and writing. This is to see that there is no similar post for Aunt Zhang. I don’t think this requirement is definitely something for me. I’m going to write it up. I hope you will have a lot of advice. All right, I’m going to sleep, tomorrow. Also drive out the mouse evaluation, otherwise there will be no chance next time.
