618 customized keyboard worth starting: Dujia K610W mechanical keyboard dismantling

Hello everyone, I am Nanbei Taoyuan~

As a fan of mechanical keyboards, it is inevitable to play with customization, but for keyboard customization, some users like to do it all by themselves, customizing circuit boards, customizing shafts and 3D printing shells, etc., are more difficult; Most other users often just want "light customization", such as changing their favorite keycaps, changing the shaft body of some commonly used keys, etc. Brand customized keyboards are more suitable for this group of users.

Recently, Dujia released the K610 series mechanical keyboards, which are K610W with 104 standard keys and K620W with 87 keys. This series of keyboards contains several key points of "light customization": it supports wireless, Bluetooth and wired three-mode connections, is compatible with the MacOS operating system, and adopts the currently popular Jiadalong custom crystal axis, and the axis body supports Hot swapping and more. In terms of color matching, there are island and echo options, and the maximum battery life is up to 360 days. Let's take a look at how this keyboard performs~

Let’s take a look at the family portrait of Duga K610w first, including the keyboard body, dust cover, replacement keycap, USB-C to USBA interface, data cable, key puller and shaft puller.

The Durga K610w in hand adopts the island color scheme. The dark green base is matched with the shaft body in three colors of black, white, dark green, and the overall look and feel is relatively stable.

The main body of the keyboard adopts a sandwich-type three-layer design, and chamfers are designed on the corners to make this keyboard more individual.

The included MacOS replacement keycaps, plus the automatic recognition of the Mac system in function, for Apple computer users can directly replace the keycaps, which greatly improves the practicality of the keyboard.

In the keyboard indicator light part, Dujia K610w added a glossy acrylic decorative plate to make the entire keyboard more textured.

The two-stage foot support is a very useful design, and it is also seen on the Durga K610w. In addition to the curvature of the fuselage, there are three keyboard angles to choose from, which can meet the keyboard use angle requirements of most users.

On the top of the keyboard is the keyboard's power switch and charging port.

On the back of the fuselage, Dujia K610w also has a hidden USB receiver design, which can well avoid the loss of the receiver for users who use more Bluetooth connections.

If you want to disassemble the Duga K610W, you first need to know where the fixing screws of the keyboard are. The first step is to pull out all the keycaps. It is very easy to replace and remove the keycaps with the included key puller.

Durga K610W supports hot-swapping of the shaft body. With the included shaft puller, you can replace some commonly used shaft bodies at will, so that the keyboard is more in line with your own usage habits.

The shell of the Durga K610W keyboard is divided into two parts, the upper cover and the base, which are connected by buckles. After removing the upper cover, you can see that in addition to the screws under the shaft body, there are two screws hidden under the upper cover.

After unscrewing the screws that fix the motherboard, you can see the back of the keyboard. The battery and antenna are fixed on the base. There is a layer of sound-absorbing cotton between the base and the motherboard. generated noise.

The official announcement of Durga K610W is that it can last up to 360 days based on the usage time of 8 hours per day. This is mainly due to the 3600 mAh lithium battery. It can be fully charged in hours.

The arrangement on the back of the motherboard is very neat. The part of the motherboard adjacent to the battery is covered with sound-absorbing cotton to protect the battery and reduce the noise of the keyboard.

Let’s take a look at the details of the shaft base. You can see that the base part is a structure jointly designed by Dujia and Jiadalong. With the customized Jiadalong shaft, it can be seen that the cooperation between the two manufacturers is very deep.

Let’s take a look at the motherboard part of the keyboard. This part adopts a multi-layer structure. This part in the hand also includes three parts: PCB board, silicone pad and metal positioning board. The addition of silicone pad can make the keyboard feel more "moist". The thick circuit board and metal positioning plate bring higher strength to this keyboard.

This Durga K610W uses two-color injection molded PBT keycaps. Compared with ordinary ABS keycaps, it has the characteristics of durable wear resistance and not easy to oil. The two-color injection molding can ensure that the characters will not be worn out under high-intensity use. On the inside of the keycap, you can also see that there is a very dense rib design inside, which can make the keycap stronger.

The crystal axis customized by Dujia and Jiadalong is based on the Jiadalong CAP axis, and has been deeply optimized to make it feel smoother and more comfortable. Compared with the cherry silver switch mechanical keyboard in hand, the silver switch keys of Jiadalong crystal switch series have the same strength, but the sound is more crisp, and there will be no astringent feeling when pressing and rebounding.

On the large key switch, although it is the same as the Jiadalong silver switch, the color is slightly different from other switches, and it also has a different feel. The pressing force required is slightly higher, which can well avoid large The keystrokes feel overly fleshy. Of course, the interchangeable shaft design can also be easily replaced with your favorite shaft body to create a more personalized keyboard.

Durga K610W supports wired, wireless and three-mode simultaneous connection of two Bluetooth devices, and the response speed is very fast when switching devices.

In the Duga Zeus application, you can customize the functions of each key, such as combination keys and macro commands, etc., and the keyboard has a built-in memory chip, and the custom functions can be stored in the keyboard and used without the Zeus software. For gamers It is very practical, of course, you can also set some commonly used combination commands to realize office automation in daily office.

For users who want a wireless desktop, the fast switching of Dujia K610W is very practical. It supports the automatic identification function of Apple series products, which can make the iPad no longer iQiyi.

After using it as a whole, the advantages of Dujia K610W are still very obvious.

First of all, it has put a lot of effort into the optimization of wireless scenarios. The large 3600mAh battery can last up to 360 days, and it only takes 3 hours to fully charge, so that you don’t have to worry about the power of the keyboard when you use it in wireless scenarios;

Secondly, it supports automatic identification of Windows and MacOS dual systems, as well as additional replacement of MacOS keycaps, so that multi-system users can also use it more smoothly;

Finally, there are two color options for island and echo. The three-color keycaps and the appearance of the double-layered fuselage are very distinctive in appearance.
