Verify the ease of use of FILCO's "thumb Fn key" small mechanical keyboard

As mentioned above, Majestouch-MINILA-R-Convertible (hereinafter, MINILA-R) has two types of arrangements, Japanese and English, but from there, as key switches, Cheryy MX's "brown axis" and "blue" You can select "Axis", "Red Axis", or "Silent Red Axis (MX SILENT Silent Axis in the notation on the website)". In addition, the online shop of Diatec, which is a direct sales site for the Web, also has an English layout "black axis".

As explained on this page of Diatec's website about the axis, the brown axis has a standard and tactile input feeling, and the blue axis has a strong click feeling and a mechanical keyboard that makes a good click. The red axis does not have a click feeling, and the switch gradually becomes heavier. The linear stroke is suitable for quietness, and the quiet red axis is made even quieter than the red axis. The black shaft, which can be obtained directly, is the same linear type as the red shaft, and the repulsion of the spring is increased, so the key returns faster.

The black axis is unknown because the product has not been posted at the time of writing, but the key pitch is all 19 mm, the keystroke is 4 mm for the brown axis / blue axis / red axis, and 3.7 mm for the silent red axis. I don't know about the pressing pressure because no information is available.

The brown shaft version I tried this time is lightly hit with "Sukosuko" without a click feeling and a light touch. The explanation of the red axis says that there is no click feeling, but since I do not have a keyboard with the red axis at hand, I could not confirm how much difference there was. Since the key structure is different, it can not be compared unconditionally, but the brown axis is lighter depending on the key when compared with the capacitive type HHKB Professional HYBRID Type-S (key stroke 3.8 mm, pressing pressure 45 g) that I have. I felt it.

On the other hand, the blue axis makes a clicking sound with a mechanical feel. The pressing comfort is different, but the pressing pressure seems to be almost the same as the brown shaft.

Personally, I like this switch sound for mechanical keyboards, and it feels good to hit, so if you want to hit the keys rhythmically, I recommend the blue axis. However, you should be careful because you will pick up a lot of sound during voice chat and video distribution, and it seems easy to get caught up in your job when you are having an online meeting.

The tea shaft I tried this time.The blue axis, which has a light touch and no click feeling, makes a sound like a mechanical switch.

The main body size of MINILA-R is 297 x 124 x 40 mm (width x depth x height), and the weight is 680 g. The width is less than 30 cm and it is very compact. It runs on two AA batteries, but the drive time is unknown as it is not written on the official website. However, by adopting the Bluetooth 5.1 standard, it is possible to communicate with low power consumption.
