The positioning of Mojo68 is the vacancy in this regard. Besides good looks and easy to use, what are the other features? Come down and tell everyone about the Mojo68 keyboard.
First of all, in terms of packaging, MelGeek Mojo68 has a sense of design. The front is a close-up of the keyboard, and the back is the keyboard parameters, which is convenient for users to have an intuitive understanding of the product in terms of appearance. For plug-and-play products such as keyboards, there is no problem of getting started, so the inner packaging is relatively simple: a receiver, key puller, data cable, manual, and warranty card.

The size of the PLASTIC product is 327x123x40mm. The Gaske anti-collision structure design effectively eliminates the structural hard collision caused by knocking. The 68-key layout saves space and is easy to carry. It supports Windows, iOS, Mac, Android, and Linux systems. The shell is made of PC material, and the PBT keycap + sublimation process can effectively prevent the keycap from oiling.

At the same time, the back of the keycap is designed with multiple ribs, which can also effectively improve the overall lifespan.

Different users can set different shortcut keys to improve productivity, and gamers can also set shortcut keys to avoid tedious operations, making it easier to win with one key.

The net weight of 850 grams and the bottom non-slip rubber pad will not slip when used on a smooth desktop, reducing Typing resonance.
In terms of keycaps, MOJO68 PLASTIC uses Jiadalong linear silver switches (G Silver PRO), which support full-key hot-swapping. Players can choose other brands of switches to obtain different hand-feeling experiences later. G Silver PRO adopts the traditional MX shaft structure, and the shaft uses a dust-proof shaft with side walls, which can bring a more stable pressing feel. After the single-stage spring is lubricated by the machine, it makes the pressing feel smoother and effectively reduces the sound.
The surface of the shaft body is a transparent shaft cover, the shaft seat is milky white, and the linear feel is suitable for various use environments. The feel and sense of paragraph are excellent.

The status light is on the left side of the lower part of the keyboard. Users can judge the use status according to the color of the light. It is soft and not dazzling at night, and can be seen clearly during the day. Viewed from the side, MOJO68 PLASTIC adopts an ergonomic inclined angle, and it is a pity that there is no built-in heightening foot support.
