Ajazz AK870 Mechanical Keyboard

The Ajazz AK870 is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard designed for users who want versatile connectivity and quieter typing. It suits those who value a balance between aesthetics and functionality, such as office workers or casual users who switch between multiple devices. Its tri-mode wireless options and customizable screen add flexibility, while its sound-dampening design reduces typing noise.

Key Features

• A 1.06-inch customizable TFT color screen shows time, battery level, and keyboard status, with options to display personal GIFs or remap as three keys.
• RGB Music Rhythm backlighting provides dynamic lighting effects that respond to typing.
• Hot-swappable PCB allows users to change switches without soldering, supporting customization and maintenance.
• Triple-mode connection supports wired USB Type-C, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth, enabling easy switching between devices and operating systems.

Build Quality and Typing Experience

• The keyboard uses a 5-layer filling gasket structure, which absorbs sound and reduces keyboard cavity noise for a quieter typing experience.
• Large keys with precision-tuned satellite shafts and a slotted PCB design minimize typing noise and improve key stability.
• Keycaps are made of two-color injection molded PBT, which are durable and resist shine over time.
• Switch options include linear Ajazz Purple, Maillard, and Fly Fish switches, offering different actuation forces and travel distances for varied typing preferences.

Connectivity and Compatibility

• Supports Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices via Bluetooth; older Windows versions (7 and below) require wired or 2.4 GHz connections.
• Tri-mode connectivity allows seamless switching between multiple devices without reconnecting.

Trade-offs

• The keyboard weighs nearly 1 kg, which may limit portability compared to lighter models.
• The ABS case material is less premium feeling than metal alternatives, potentially affecting durability perception.
• Battery life details are unknown, so wireless usage duration cannot be assessed.
• Layout is limited to tenkeyless, which may not suit users needing a numeric keypad.
