Comprehensive configuration, long battery life, Durga K620w white version mechanical keyboard experience

In order to pursue a good and diverse operating feel, many people choose to use mechanical keyboards. Looking back on my experience of using mechanical keyboards, it has been more than ten years since the earliest mass-produced keyboards such as Cherry, Filco, Big L, IKBC, etc., followed by customization in the pit, and now in the semi-fever state. Nowadays, the keyboard designs of some foreign major manufacturers are still conservative, but domestic manufacturers have faster technological iterations, and even introduced some customized elements into mass-produced keyboards. The protagonist of this article - Dujia K620w white light version of the three-mode mechanical keyboard is also a product of the manufacturer's "involution". Its main features are three-mode wireless, hot-swappable, white backlight and long battery life. It is only compared from the parameters comprehensive. I was also very lucky to get the opportunity to test this new product, and I would like to express my gratitude to the machine group. Let me share my experience below, hoping to help you.

The K620w white light version mechanical keyboard is packed in a double-layer carton. The outer carton is soft and is mainly used to display relevant information about the keyboard. The front is printed with the brand name, product model, keyboard painting and usage highlights, etc., exuding a strong digital style, but these thick straight lines are a bit abrupt, and should be more beautified.

The inner packaging carton is relatively hard, which can effectively resist bumps and impacts from the outside. Open the inner packing box, you can see that there is a special sponge lining inside to support the keyboard, which can prevent scratches during transportation. Accessories also have a separate area for storage, and the overall protection is quite good.

The accessories of K620w white light version mechanical keyboard are quite rich. In addition to the main body of the keyboard, it also provides dust cover x1, key puller x1, shaft puller x1, A to C data cable x1, adapter x1 and manual x1. Among them, the data cable of the keyboard and the adapter can be transformed into an extension cable of the 2.4G receiver after being combined, which can be used to improve the wireless signal during use.

As a domestic manufacturer established in 2016, Dujia has launched a variety of keyboards, among which there are many products with K330w design that make my eyes shine. After several years of development, it is considered well-known in the keyboard circle, which also makes me look forward to the performance of the K620w white version mechanical keyboard.

The size of the K620w white version mechanical keyboard is 359mm x 142mm x 37.5mm, and the weight is about 1042g. It adopts the standard 87 arrangement. Compared with the 104 keyboard, the numeric keypad area on the right is removed, and the length is slightly reduced. I personally like this arrangement very much. In my opinion, the 87 arrangement has many advantages such as reasonable separation, well-arranged, simple and practical, no special requirements for the length of the keycaps, and no occupation of the mouse space. In addition, I usually do not use the numeric keypad area very frequently, so I have always regarded 87 as the first choice for work and life.

The color of the K620w white light version mechanical keyboard in my hand is called echo-fog blue. The keyboard adopts the design of white body + black frame, which looks simple and elegant, but also makes the keyboard more layered. The shape of the keyboard is not monotonous or exaggerated, and its appearance is still online. The indicator light area on the front can be regarded as a small bright spot. The surface of Dujia is covered with a decorative plate, which is more beautiful and smart than K320.

Let’s take a look at the bottom of the keyboard. The K620w uses a two-stage foot support, which can be freely switched between three heights according to your usage habits. There are rubber anti-slip pads on the bottom of the keyboard and the support points of the feet. The hardness is moderate and can provide good anti-slip effect.

Durga also designed a hidden storage compartment next to the foot support. It can be used to store the 2.4G receiver when we use Bluetooth connection or when we go out to carry it, in case it is lost accidentally, it is a more considerate design.

The surface of the keyboard shell is flat and delicate, and the stitching is fairly regular, but there is still room for improvement in the gap treatment. And because the keyboard is thin and has a relatively complex structure (a total of four layers from the top cover to the bottom case), each layer is not too thick. The keyboard steel plate in my hand is a little bent, and the strength of the bottom case will be slightly weaker. Some, there is a slight seesaw phenomenon.

The keycaps of the Duga K620w white light version mechanical keyboard can be matched in three colors: white, gray, and blue. It is simple and fresh, and adds a lot to the appearance. The blessing of the two-color closed-mouth technology makes the characters clear, firm, and free of cracks, and there is no sense of protrusion when the fingertips are scanned. The character thickness of the keycap is uniform, the font shape is quite satisfactory, and the light-transmitting design is adopted, which has a good effect with the white light of the keyboard.

The keycaps are made of PBT material, which is not easy to oil and has better durability than ABS. The thickness of the side wall of the keycap is moderate, the large key is also very straight, and there is no loosening of the cross at the bottom, and the overall workmanship is good. The surface of the keycaps is delicate, and the original height of R4-R4-R3-R2-R1-R1 combined with the two-stage feet can provide a comfortable gradient and bring a good input experience. Dujia also specially smoothed the bottom of the space bar. It will be more comfortable for the thumb to put it on, but the lines on both sides of the other keycaps are relatively tough.

Dujia K620w white light version mechanical keyboard is the first mechanical keyboard equipped with Kaihua Turbo switch body, and the version I received is the red switch version. The Kaihua Turbo Red Switch is a linear switch, positioned similar to the Cherry MX Red Switch. The basic parameters of the shaft body are as follows: trigger force 45±10gf, conduction stroke 1.9±0.4mm, total stroke 3.7±0.3mm, lifespan 80 million times. The Turbo series adopts a four-card wall design, and the axis is made of POM material, which is exactly the same as the TTC gold powder axis in appearance.

During daily typing, the smoothness and axis stability of Kaihua Turbo Red Switches are significantly better than those of Cherry MX Red Switches. At the same time, they are not as meaty as G Yellow Pro, and are more similar to TTC Gold Powder. The bottoming is a little earlier than the Cherry MX red switch and gold powder switch (not particularly obvious). The switch body rebounds more easily when pressed. I personally think that the overall performance is quite good. Of course, as the saying goes, “every eye sees its own beauty”, the best way to identify the shaft body is to use it with your hands and tap it. After all, the one that suits you is the best.

The large key of the Duga K620w white light version mechanical keyboard adopts a satellite shaft design and is greased at the factory. The percussion of the large keys is relatively crisp, and there is no noise, but the shaking is a bit obvious. Fortunately, the keyboard uses a steel satellite axis, and it is not too troublesome to replace and adjust it by yourself later.

After talking about the shaft body, let's take a look at the inside of the keyboard. Remove the upper cover of the keyboard (remove the black part), unscrew the five fixing screws, and you can see that the K620w white version mechanical keyboard adopts the structure of positioning board + shock-absorbing silicone pad + PCB board + sound-absorbing cotton, which will take a few years Properly customized configuration. The positioning plate of K620w is made of steel plate, so when you hit the keyboard, it feels hard to touch the bottom. It is a matter of opinion whether you like it or not. The PCB of the keyboard uses Kaihua's shaft seat, supports hot-swappable operation, and is compatible with tripod and pentapod shafts. The silicone pad and sound-absorbing cotton are well-made, which can absorb vibration and reduce cavity sound to a certain extent, making the sound more pure when the keyboard is struck. It is worth mentioning that the K620w also adds an antenna to the wireless module, and the details are in place.

Duga K620w white light version mechanical keyboard supports three connection methods of Bluetooth 5.0+wireless 2.4G+wired, and can realize automatic recognition in Windows and Mac OS dual systems. In the Windows system, I mainly use 2.4G wireless connection. The keyboard connection is stable in daily use, the delay is good, and it supports full-key no punching. The typing experience and gaming experience are excellent. I mainly use the Bluetooth function on notebooks and tablets, and I can switch between Bluetooth devices through [Fn+QW]. When I was using it, I encountered two situations where the switch was stuck, and I could only solve it by restarting the keyboard, which affected the user experience a bit.

The Duga K620w white light version mechanical keyboard also supports custom functions, which can be set by downloading the official Zeus software. In the software, you can check the remaining power of the keyboard, and you can also change the keyboard’s key functions, lighting effects and other options to create a device that best suits your habits.

The battery life performance can be regarded as the biggest highlight of this keyboard. K620w has a built-in 3600mAh large-capacity lithium battery, which is a strong guarantee for its excellent battery life. The official claims that on the premise of turning off the backlight, the keyboard can achieve 360 ​​days of Bluetooth mode connection and 200 days of 2.4G wireless mode connection. If it can be achieved, it can indeed cure many users’ battery life anxiety. I am currently working hard to use it, and I will give feedback again after the follow-up battery runs out.

Duga K620w white light version mechanical keyboard has the advantages of fresh and simple appearance, smooth and stable percussion feel, three-mode connection mode, customized silicone pad and sound-absorbing cotton, excellent battery life, etc. The market can also be called a relatively comprehensive product. Of course, there are some small flaws in the product. I hope Dujia can continue to innovate, improve quality control, optimize structure, improve details, and bring more high-quality products.
