Peripheral Sharing Article 112: A Big Upgrade Not Too Late—Durga K330w Plus Three-mode Mechanical Keyboard

After Durga brought you a K330w with extreme battery life last year, in 2022, Durga brought the latest upgraded version of this keyboard, K330w Plus, but it should have a good wireless battery life. After the model connection and beautiful appearance, what fun upgrades can Dujia bring, let me take a look.

First of all, in terms of appearance, K330w Plus (subsequently referred to as k330) has maintained the original design style in the future. The appearance and keyboard theme have not been redesigned, but still continue the previous double shell design. At the same time, the ice cream version I started with It also adds a gradient color transition style, which makes the keyboard full of personalized style. The left and right sides of the top are respectively placed with a type-c interface and a huge wireless switch, which is really convenient to use.

The k330 adopts a standard 61-key arrangement, which is small and cute, except that there is no independent arrow key, which is a small disadvantage (but the lower right corner can be directly used as an arrow key by switching the configuration). In daily use, for me personally, there is no What is the discomfort? After all, I don't use the F area much, and the number area does not put pressure on me by using the number part of the letter area.

Due to the adoption of 60% arrangement, Dujia also adopted the method of FN plus combination keys to realize the second-layer definition of various keys. The FN key that you may often use is also directly placed in the lower right corner of the keyboard, which is more convenient for you to directly operate.

The design of the bottom of the keyboard is simple and clear. Although it adopts a small arrangement design, the K330 still designs a storage compartment for the 2.4G receiver of the keyboard, so that the keyboard can be carried out without missing the receiver. At the same time, the keyboard also provides a one-stage The foot supports can be chosen by friends who like different input angles.

Dujia often likes to show his caring for keyboard players in small details. For example, Dujia’s space bar also directly adopts a circular arc design on the lower edge, so that typing will feel more comfortable when using spaces. I usually like to reverse the space on the keyboard, which reduces the operation by one step.

As for the keycaps of the K330, a set of two-color injection-molded PBT keycaps is used. The height of the keycaps adopts the height of the original factory. The surface of the keycaps is also finely frosted to make the feel more delicate. The overall workmanship, the nozzle processing is quite excellent, and the characters are also very good-looking closed-mouth fonts. At the same time, many keycaps also provide shortcut key characters engraved on the side, and the ribs in the space can also be seen. The workmanship of the keycaps is quite rigorous. Different from the blue-pink color of ice cream in the keyboard theme, the keycaps use a more low-key cool gray and cool white color, which makes the keyboard feel colder as a whole. At the same time, the cyan color matching of the space bar, ESC and enter key is also smart, which adds a lot of color to the keycap as a whole.

After removing all the keycaps of the keyboard, the silver positioning plate and the silver switch of Jiadalong come into view. One of the major upgrades of the K300w Plus this time is that the keyboard has begun to support the hot-swappable design. After removing the shaft body, it can be seen that part of the reason for the powerful battery life of the K330 is that the keyboard is of course designed without LED lighting. At the same time, it can be seen from the PCB that the keyboard supports tripod axes and pentagonal axes, and there is no space for SMD lights, so that the K330 is basically compatible with all axes on the market (not short or other abnormal axes), hot-swappable It also becomes easy to freely change the shaft body you like.

The k330’s large key still adopts the design of the satellite axis. On the one hand, it is convenient for the keycap to be better in the future. After the factory run treatment, at the same time, the feel of the satellite axis is still very stable. The feedback of the axis body is stable when it is tapped, and there is no sensuality. In terms of the shaft body, the crystal shaft series customized by Dujia and Jiadalong that I use here are also lubricated before leaving the factory. At the same time, after the tuning of Dujia, the shaft body will feel smoother. The ultra-fast trigger of 1.2mm on the silver axis makes daily typing easier.

The disassembly of the keyboard is not complicated. After all the keycaps are removed and the six screws on the positioning board are removed, directly lift up the position of the blank space. Be careful of the card position at the type-c interface in the upper left corner, and you can directly lift up the entire keyboard. Locate the board and the pcb part, but be careful at this time, the battery cable of the keyboard, and the wireless antenna are also connected to the pcb, so you need to be careful when removing it.

The positioning board and pcb of the keyboard are still fixed by screws. At the same time, between the two, the silicone pad is filled this time to optimize shock absorption and noise reduction, which reduces the vibration feedback when the shaft is struck, making typing more comfortable. .

A small amount of sound-absorbing cotton is also added to parts such as the hot-swappable shaft seat at the bottom of the k330 to reduce the vibration at the bottom of the keyboard and the feedback of the cavity sound. At the same time, the pcb also specially adds a wireless antenna interface to enhance the overall wireless reception stability of the keyboard.

There is also a specially cut black sound-absorbing cotton at the bottom of the keyboard, and it isolates the pcb of the keyboard from the battery. This large 3600mAh battery also guarantees the wireless battery life of the keyboard. It has an astonishing 240-day battery life, and the 2.4G wireless mode also has a 180-day battery life. It is not a dream to forget to charge. At the same time, the battery of the K330 keyboard can be fully charged in about 3 hours. It has a long battery life, fast recovery, and this stability Wireless, saying goodbye to wired is not a dream.

Not enough As for the structure, I don’t know if Dujia will add another upgrade in the future, such as accessing the Gasket structure that is relatively popular this year, so that the input of the touch feels softer and provides more keyboard playability.

K330w Plus continues the amazing appearance of K330w, stable three-mode wireless connection, long battery life, and the upgrade provides a more convenient hot-swap ability to replace the switch body, bringing stronger playability to the keyboard At the same time, it provides a variety of noise reduction and shock absorption optimization, which enhances the player's hand experience. If you can accept 60% of the keys, the K330w Plus is indeed a keyboard worth buying.
