[GB] Chiwi60 kit w/ brass plate [under glow][Non-floating 7 deg]: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=93969.0

Chiwi60是一把由台灣的Doyu Studio設計及製作的60%鍵盤套件。
Chiwi60 is a 60% keyboard kit made by Doyu Studio from Taiwan.

當時是二月開啟的團購，遇到了一些套件團購常常遇到的因素，所以也耽誤到出貨了XD，白色的外殼現在因為運送過來時有損傷，又寄回去工廠重新處理了，真是一波三折。
The groupbuy started on February. It encountered some general issues that most keyboard kits GB will face as well, and causing the delay.
White cases were damaged when shipping on the way to Taiwan. They were all sent back to factory for reprogressing.

跟Doyu Studio的負責人Senin認識的關係，我也支持了一把。現在來開開箱。
As a friend of Senin from Doyu Studio, I supported a set. Here's the review.

↓紙盒包裝，上面貼了張印有Doyu Studio logo的貼紙。
The kit was packed by a box, with a Doyu Studio sticker on it.

↓迎面而來的是銅定位板，沒有防撞材料保護有點可惜。
The brass plate was on top of everything. It was a pity that there's no anti-collision material inside.

↓整套套件的零件，另外還有一些小卡。
All parts of the kit. There were some theme cards.

↓首先看一下電路板。使用的是之前開過團購的Do60 PCB，有黑色及白色的，我選了消光黑色來配合黑殼。USB C的介面，多達20顆的底燈，及最大的特點：兼容超多配置。
Take a look at the PCB first. Do60 PCB was also a group buy item before. I chose matte black instead of white to match my black case.
USB C interface, 20 SMD RGB leds, and muti-layouts support.

↓做得很不錯的黑色陽極鋁殼，表面蠻細緻的，不過我拍照前忘記先擦一下。C角的外型看起來相當舒適。
Nicely done black anodized aluminum case. Smooth surface, but I forgot to wipe it before taking photos. The chamfer looks comfortable as well.

↓定位板鎖在殼的上部，跟其它套件不一樣的是，除了上下排，左右也有螺絲幫助固定，盡可能讓整把鍵盤穩固。
The plate is mounted to top case. Not like other keyboard kits, there are some screw points on left and right sides as well to help stablize the keyboard.

↓噴砂過的Polycarbonate底板，用意在於幫助暈光。銅名牌上的Chiwi logo設計的相當可愛，很像一個表情符號。
Sandblasted polycarbonate bottom plate helps diffuse the light from RGB leds. Chiwi name on the brass weight was cute, like an emote.

↓銅定位板大概是我覺得做的比較不好的部份，除了表面處理不太佳外，為了兼容PCB的多種layout，開的口非常的多，還好銅板比較硬，鋁板可能就不太行了。
The brass plate wasn't that good as other parts. Apart from the surface finish, there are too many openings for supporting muti-layouts of PCB.
I am glad that it's a brass plate. It truly won't be stable if it's an aluminum plate.

↓給銅名牌及小卡一個特寫，算是非常用心在呈現整個主題。也有步驟圖幫助購買者組裝。
Highlighted the brass weight and theme cards. Some drawings help buyers build the keyboard as well.

↓我選用Outemu的Sky switches和GMK衛星軸。除了賞心悅目之外，Sky switches是仿製ergo clears的打感，喜歡強段落手感的朋友可以考慮這個軸。
I used Outemu Sky switches and GMK stablilizers. Besides the nice looking color, Sky switches imitate the feeling of ergo clears. Not a bad choice if you fancy strong tactile feelings.

↓組好之後鎖在上殼，再把底板安裝上去就完成了。
Mounted the plate to top case, and installed the pc bottom plate. Done!

↓先來幾張未上鍵帽的照片。還不錯看！
Some photos without keycaps installing. Looks nice!

↓USB開口的位置開的剛剛好，非常棒。
Nicely done with the USB port opening!

↓之前團購剛拿到的DSA Ice Cream Round2，別問我為什麼照片突然變成1:1的XD。
DSA Ice Cream Round2. Don't ask me why photos were resized to 1:1 haha.

↓數字排裝上冰棒個性鍵，顏色多到很像SP的色卡全套。
Put in novelty keys in number row. So many colors that they look like reference of SP colors.

↓DSA Ice Cream的左右區分別為紫色及粉紅色，跟一般以往一整套的色系不太一樣，更加繽紛。
DSA Ice Cream contains purple keys on the left side and pink keys on the right side. Looks more colorful.

↓最後當然要來玩一下燈，啊嘶，閃亮亮！
Time to play some light!

↓從側邊可以看到燈效在跑，桌子如果會反光的話應該效果會更好。
You can see RGB animations from the side. There will be more reflections if your tables reflect.

總結一下，銅定位板及四邊都有螺絲孔位的設計改善了可能會因為定位板開太多孔而比較差的打感。打起來意外的還不錯！
配上當初團購的價格，算是一把CP值非常高的鍵盤套件。
In conclusion, brass plates and srew points of four side really help improve the potential bad typing feeling caused by many openings of plate.
It's truly surprisingly good. With the price it offered, it's a very high CP custom keyboard kit.

感謝觀賞。
Thanks for watching.
