About this deal

Các nâng cấp của bản NJ80 AP so với bản NJ80 thường: thêm foam tiêu âm, tăng dung lượng pin từ 4400mAh lên 4800mAh, thêm khả năng kết nối với phần mềm qua receiver. Hold down the FN+1 key for 3 seconds. The keyboard enters the pairing state, and the digit 1 indicator blinks at short intervals. I must say I am not entirely convinced by this keyboard’s included accessories. The rubberized cable is pretty drab, although it does match the color of the keyboard. A sleeved cable would have been a lot nicer. Keydous did throw in a cable tie to help you with things, and there’s also a keycap puller and a switch puller. Yes, the Keydous NJ80 does support hotswappable switches. Appearance Use the original charging cable to connect the USB port of the computer for charging, and the charging current should be less than 1A. One of the main reasons why I got the Keydous NJ80, aside from the fact that it had a volume knob, was the fact that it connected via 2.4GHz wireless. As we all know, Bluetooth is great for efficiency and pairing with multiple devices like smartphones, but 2.4GHz wireless has the upper hand when it comes to latency. I did test the Bluetooth connection on the Keydous NJ80, and while some Bluetooth 4.0 wireless keyboards I tested exhibited severe latency issues, to the point of being a whole word behind when I am typing furiously, the Keydous NJ80’s Bluetooth 5.0 played well with my ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WiFi)’s built in Bluetooth, powered by the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 adapter.

Most of the time I’ve been using the NJ80-AP, I’ve been switching between two Bluetooth devices and one on 2.4 G mode. The only issue I had with the switching was one time I forgot I had turned the keyboard off, so it took me a minute to realize why it wasn’t connecting. I had no issue with unexpected repeated letters while typing or any issue with using the WASD keys to move in games. Regardless of the connection type, everything was as good as when using a wired mechanical keyboard. Under its unassuming “sleeper” looks, the Keydous NJ80-AP hides flexible wireless, high-quality parts, and an absolutely incredible typing feel, all for a surprisingly low price. The only downside is its janky software.

More Manuals From keydous

The keycaps are high-quality PBT plastic, as seen on the best keyboards (and withheld from some of the stingier designs… Razer). In comparison, the case is a little underwhelming. It’s ABS plastic through and through, a rather dull white, and held in place with clips and very difficult to open. You could argue that it’s saving weight versus a more premium aluminum build, but this is already a pretty hefty board thanks to its premium interior components and a beefy battery. Accessories: Extra Spacebar (Blue, White), Extra Esc Key (Milky white), Extra Enter Key (Milky white) Mac layout keys (Opt, Cmd), Extra Knob (Either Red, Blue or Silver), Keycap puller, switch puller, USB-C Cable (1.5m), 2.4G Dongle, Phillips head screwdriver and user manual (in Mandarin).

If the Caps light blinks once, it will start to sleep if it is not used for 2 minutes. This is the first keyboard I've tried that I'm not motivated to modify at all. I've previously used the GMMK Pro which I've equipped with lubed and filmed Tangerines and some keycaps from Drop. It was nice, but opening and modifying the switches was a huge pain. This NJ80, in contrast, is 95% as good in feel (the Ice Cream Pro Taro switches are a tiny bit less smooth than the Tangerines) for cheaper and better in other ways (nice non-ugly keycaps included), without costing me any of my time. I'm not one of those people who messes with their keyboard for fun. As I mentioned earlier, the F12 key doubles as a battery indicator. The lighting will glow red if the battery is low, and turn green once the keyboard is fully charged. Function Key Shortcuts

If you want to pair another device to the NJ80, follow the above steps; but when entering pairing mode, press and hold Fn + a different number from the one you initially used to pair the first device with. This lets you simultaneously pair multiple devices to the keyboard. You can then easily switch between paired devices by pressing Fn+1/2/3. 2.4Ghz Connection Switch options: Hotswappable, Gateron Pro Milky Yellow, Kailh Box Red V2, Kailh Box White, TTC Gold Pink, TTC Speed Silver Lithium battery is built into the product. It is strictly forbidden to place the product in high temperature, high pressure and direct sunlight. If not used for a long time, please store the keyboard in a cool and dry environment, and turn off the power switch. Keydous has both Windows and macOS compatibility built into the NJ80. To switch to Mac mode, press and hold Fn+M for 2 seconds. If the lighting blinks twice, you’ve entered Mac mode, it blinks once when you exit. Warranty and ReliabilityFN+M (hold down for 2 seconds, and blink for 2 to enter, and blink for 1 to exit) = Enter MAC mode (switch Alt and Win, right Alt to win, right CTRL to Alt) Two things immediately stood out when I started using the NJ80-AP. First, the V key is slightly raised compared to the other keys. Initially, I thought this would be an issue while typing, but it mostly hasn’t been an issue at all. My nails occasionally hit it when I go for the B key and cause an extra keystroke, but this is rare. Aside from that, I’ve had no issues with it, though I’m also not sure what the point of it being slightly raised is either. At first, I thought maybe it was to help find positioning without looking. However, in practice, this didn’t seem helpful at all. It might be due to my typing habits, but I tend to look for the notches on the F and J keys to find positioning. This might be useful for some people, but at least it wasn’t a real hindrance either.

It also means that the board is a decent (if not ideal) option for PC gaming, something that Bluetooth-only boards can’t boast. Combined with an absolutely massive 4,800mAh battery, it should last for months with the RGB lights turned off—I couldn’t drain the battery completely during my testing period. Non-standard keys: 1.75U R-Shift, 1U R-Alt, 1U FN key, 1U R-Ctrl, Del on R4, Pg Up on R3, Pg Dn on R2)

Unboxing

Likewise, switching between Bluetooth, 2.4 G, and wireless mode is incredibly simple. Bluetooth is FN+1/2/3, and because it is set like this, there isn’t a separate process to go through to save a Bluetooth device. It’s automatically set to whichever number you used to pair to in the first place. Then, to switch to 2.4 G mode it’s FN+4. Technically there is also a key combo for wired mode, but it just switched to that mode automatically when plugged in, so there’s not much point in that setting. The typing experience on this with the gat milky yellows is very creamy. I decided I would need at least a few mods to make it sound more to my liking, but honestly, it is perfect the way it is already. If you are a fan of linear switches then the gateron milky yellow switches are a great option. I am able to connect to my MacBook and PC relatively fast via Bluetooth. No input lag when using Bluetooth for office use, and it shows the battery percentage on the Bluetooth section of your mac. The battery lasts a decent amount of time when used wirelessly, and I am able to switch to my two devices as needed. Love that it came with 2 colored knobs, gold and silver, and also extra keycaps to make my keyboard all white, which matches my aesthetic more. Restore factory Settings: Simultaneously press the four corner keys of the keyboard for 3 seconds (ESC, Left CTRL, F12, right arrow)
