2022 June 18 丨 June 18 "Game Competitive Direction" mechanical keyboard recommendation collection

This article is the first article on the classification of mechanical keyboards—recommended mechanical keyboards for game competitions. The main recommendations are some more competitive-style products driven by international peripheral manufacturers such as Razer, ROG, and Corsair. Different from manufacturers like Leopold and Amilo, competitive gaming products pay more attention to appearance and lighting linkage, etc. We usually call this kind of products competitive gaming mechanical keyboards. Next, let’s take a look at which games are recommended to the keyboard this time!

For this game, we recommend the following five keyboards at the entry-mid-range price (100-500 yuan), among which Weixing GK50z, Dareu 925v2 and Tt G521 are the three keyboards we have recommended many times. Old faces", HyperX Mars 2 and Cooler Sleeve Blade 3 are recommended by us for the first time.

MSI GK50Z: The product mentioned in almost every entry-level keyboard recommendation is a bit aesthetically fatigued, but at a price in the early 100s that can satisfy the "big brand + competitive style" keyboard, GK50Z is still a more reasonable choice. It should be noted that some batches of shafts used by GK50Z have a mediocre life, but fortunately, it is relatively easy to replace after sales.

Dareu EK925V2: This is a keyboard that the brand considers "very low profit" and is unwilling to mention too much. It is also a treasure keyboard that we have recommended to everyone. If you want to have a good switch within 300 yuan Body, all-metal panel, partitioned RGB lighting and multimedia knobs are the bells and whistles of first-line brand thousand yuan products, so this top-level peripheral EK925 is a very good choice.

Extremely unknown HyperX Mars 2: It is a new product launched at the end of January this year. The initial price should be 499 yuan. After just half a year, the 6.18 preview discount price has reached an astonishing 249 yuan. The real 50% discount is really delicious! For 249 yuan, you can buy a big-brand keyboard with an atmospheric appearance, cool lighting, PBT keycaps, and excellent HyperX custom switches. One word, absolutely!

Thermaltake G521: It is also a product that we have recommended many times. The basic price of this keyboard is around 349 yuan every time the marketing nodes such as 618 and Double 11. For players who like full-size three-mode keyboards with palm rests In general, G521 should be the optimal solution within 400 yuan.

Cooler Master Sleeve Blade: It is a three-mode wireless keyboard with a 65% layout, because I am trying the wired hot-swappable version of this keyboard recently, and I found that the materials and performance of this keyboard are relatively solid, especially The replaceable metal chamfered panel is very beautiful, and with the right knob, it combines the current popular keyboard shape with the traditional competitive style very well.

For this year's mid-range price, we recommend two "series products" to everyone, namely ROG's ranger series and HyperX's origin series. These two products are very classic series. Relatively awesome. At the same time, the two series also have different ideas--ROG ranger is based on the two layouts of 104 and TKL to replace different shafts, keycaps, joint themes and connection methods; the origin of HyperX is to launch four different models. layout, but all carry the same shaft.

★HyperX Aloy Origin Series

HyperX’s promotional efforts on June 18 this year are very exaggerated, so the prices of the four different configurations of the Origin series have reached the lowest price in history. Among them, the price of 369 yuan for the Origin 87 can only be described as crazy! It should be noted here that there are three customized HyperX switches with water/fire/ice to choose from, corresponding to tea-like, linear and green-like handles respectively. If sales are hot, some popular switches may be out of stock soon.

★ROG Ranger Series

The ROG Ranger series is also the most worth buying mid-range keyboard for games on June 18 this year. Among them, I personally recommend the Ranger RX equipped with the RX optical axis version. And the ranger NX three-mode wireless version equipped with NX mechanical switches. In addition, although there is no discount for the recently released EVA co-branded version of Ranger RX, the price of 799 with the theme of faith is also worth considering for diehard EVA fans. It should be noted here that the old version of the Cherry switch does not feel as good as the new version, and the price is not cheap, so it is not recommended to buy blindly.

在今年的中高端价位我们推荐的产品比较少，仅剩下K70 Pro、猎魂光蛛精英和ROG龙骑士三款，删除了之前曾经推荐过的部分产品比如罗技G913/913TKL（优惠力度不大）和赛睿ApexPro等（销售渠道&价格混乱），当然这两把键盘都是我们曾经认可的优秀产品， 对这些产品需求明确的玩家可在合理价格区间自行购买。

Razer Hunter Light Spider Elite Edition: Adopting Razer's optical axis technology, it has a lifespan of 100 million keys and can also provide both paragraph and linear feel, and uses a balance bar design on the large key position to ensure that the keys are pressed at all angles Consistency of feel. The top cover of the keyboard shell is made of aluminum alloy matte material, and Razer is equipped around the keyboard body and the palm rest. Chorma Symphony technology background light, this is a gaming keyboard with a very high overall design level. As an "old product", the current price of the Hunting Light Spider Elite Edition is relatively reasonable and there is no update information for the time being. I like Razer Players can buy with confidence without worrying about backstabs.

Corsair K70 RGB PRO: It is the latest high-end product of the Corsair K70 series. The keyboard inherits the powerful and cool lighting effects and PBT keycaps of the K70 series. The hardware supports a polling rate of 8000HZ, suitable for fundamentalist players who prefer the familiar feel of Cherry switches. At present, the latest notice of K70Pro in 6.18 is available at 1044 yuan.

ROG Dragon Knight 2: The well-deserved flagship product among gaming and e-sports keyboards in the past year. This 2.4G dual-mode wireless keyboard is equipped with ROG’s exclusive RX optical axis, which also provides two different touches: paragraph and linear. The biggest feature of Dragon Knight 2 is the modular design - the PAD numbers of the keyboard can be placed on the left and right sides of the keyboard at will, or it can be directly disassembled to become a TKL keyboard. During the 618 period this year, the preview price of Dragon Knight 2 came to 1349 yuan. It is reasonable enough to get 1299 yuan, which is already the lowest price in history. Interested friends can buy it directly.

The above are some game competitive mechanical keyboards recommended to you this time. Because of the space and reading experience, we will disassemble and subdivide the keyboard recommendations this time. Therefore, I have to say here that mechanical keyboards for games have not been regarded as the mainstream products of mechanical keyboards. Such products are more suitable for gamers who are pursuing game performance and RGB lighting.
