Product Description

The Ticktype DP104 is a full-sized mechanical keyboard suited for users who want versatile connectivity and a choice between quieter or deeper switch sounds. It fits well for office workers needing low noise and hobbyists who value switch swapping and solid build materials. Its combination of wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless modes offers flexibility for different setups.

Key Features

Full-sized layout with dedicated volume controls under the navigation cluster allows quick audio adjustments without leaving the keyboard.
Ambient lighting with options for clean glow or subtle diffusion provides customizable visual feedback without being distracting.
Interactive pixel display adds a unique visual element, useful for status indicators or personalization.
Tri-mode connectivity supports wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless, letting users switch between devices or connection types easily.
Quick release system between top and bottom case enables easier maintenance and customization.

Build Quality

Constructed with CNC-machined 6063 aluminum case and mirror-polished stainless steel weight, offering durability and a stable typing platform.
Butterfly leaf spring mounting combined with triple-layer shock absorption reduces typing noise and vibration.
Multiple foam layers inside the case and plate improve sound dampening and typing feel.

Typing Experience

Choice of Rye linear switches delivers a deep, mellow sound suitable for quieter environments where a rich acoustic profile is desired.
Cloud silent tactile switches provide tactile feedback with reduced noise, better for office or shared spaces.
Dye-sub PBT keycaps resist shine and wear, maintaining texture over time.
Hot-swappable PCB allows users to change switches without soldering, supporting customization and experimentation.

Connectivity

Wired mode supports high polling rate (8K Hz) for responsive input, ideal for fast typing or gaming.
2.4GHz wireless also offers 8K Hz polling, balancing low latency with cable-free use.
Bluetooth mode has lower polling rate (125 Hz), suitable for casual use or mobile devices where battery life matters more than speed.
8000mAh battery with 10W fast charging supports extended wireless use, though exact battery life is unknown.

Trade-offs

Full-sized layout increases desk space usage, which may be less ideal for compact setups or frequent travel.
Bluetooth polling rate is significantly lower than wired and 2.4GHz modes, which may affect responsiveness in some scenarios.
While the keyboard includes multiple foam layers for sound dampening, the deep sound of Rye switches might still be noticeable in very quiet environments.
Unknown firmware or keymapping customization limits assessment of advanced programmability.
