Peripheral Sharing Article 145: Light or "Brightness" - ROG Brightness 2 Magic Mechanical Keyboard

Speaking of ROG, there are quite a lot of interesting products in optical axis and mechanical axis recently, and in an event recently, I got ROG’s Yaoguang 2 magic mechanical keyboard, which still fits the definition of handsome in my heart, fun multimedia The operation area, the handsome light-display matrix display screen, and the leather hand rest that supports the light guide belt are full of appearance, so let me take a look at how this keyboard is.

In terms of packaging, the basic ROG family style shows some selling points of the keyboard. AniMe Matrix light matrix screen, multimedia operating area, 8000Hz high return rate, PBT two-color injection molding light-transmitting keycaps, sound-absorbing cotton design, etc. There are not many accessories in the package. In addition to the ROG logo sticker and manual, there are also leather hand rests, key pullers, shaft pullers, etc.

The keyboard adopts a standard 104-key design, and it is very convenient to have better keycaps later. Suspended design, aluminum alloy panel is used on the surface, and the anti-fingerprint performance is good.

Let’s take a look at my favorite multimedia control area first. The lever-type up and down operation method, click on the side is to pause the playback, and there is also the volume adjustment wheel, which can be pressed at the same time, and it is the mute switch. The overall operation is relatively Compared with the usual operation method, it is more handsome. There are two push-type switches on the right side of the volume operation area. At first I thought it was a lever. It is a pity that this area defaults to the lock of the windows button and the brightness of the lights. gear adjustment.

Because the keyboard data cable adopts the Y-shaped dual USB interface design, it can be guessed that the keyboard must also support the design of USB HUB, and the top supports full-featured USB interface extension, which can be directly connected to the mouse, wireless transmitter, or U Disks and the like are quite convenient to use.

The back design is also the line style of the family, engraved with ROG's big eyes logo, and the foot support provides a one-step height adjustment, which is enough for daily use.

As for the switch body of the keyboard, ROG’s own NX series mechanical switch body is used. The one I got is a hawthorn red switch, with a linear switch feel, 1.8mm trigger key travel, 4mm full key travel, 40gf initial pressure, 45gf trigger pressure , the overall feel rebounds obviously, and the linear axis can also bring a very refreshing typing feel. The keyboard supports the hot-swappable design of all keys, but it can be seen that only the tripod shaft is supported, and there may be certain restrictions on the choice of shafts, but there are not many pentagonal shafts themselves, so the problem is not big. You can look down through the pcb, and the lower part is filled with sound-absorbing cotton, which can well reduce the cavity sound behind the keys, so that the sound can be more HIFI when typing on the keyboard.

The satellite axis part adopts ROG's own modified design structure, and the overall factory also has an optimized design. It feels relatively stable to use, and thanks to the sufficient rebound strength of the NX hawthorn red axis, the overall satellite axis feedback is very simple. , and the consistency is good, but this satellite axis also has a shortcoming, that is, the left and right sides are not fixed stably, so when installing the keyboard, you need to align the part of the satellite axis, unlike the usual satellite axis, just install the keycap casually, just pay more attention .

The keycap adopts the light-transmitting design of PBT two-color injection molding. On the one hand, the PBT material has good anti-wear and anti-oil performance, and the matte feel is quite comfortable for typing. The two-color light transmission also ensures the display effect of the light. And the keyboard adopts the standard 104 key positions, and it is very convenient to replace the personalized keycaps by yourself later.

But for ROG, Yaoguang 2 Magic is of course the full body of the keyboard after turning on the light. The transition effect of the overall keyboard backlight is uniform, and the transparent upper cover of the shaft body has good light transmission. The AniMe Matrix light matrix screen in the upper right corner, in addition to the daily logo display, will have a corresponding display of each button when pressing the multimedia operation area. The brightness of the light, the status of the volume, and the operation will all be available, and the gameplay is still quite good. And there is a shortcut key to adjust the brightness of the light. Under different lighting conditions, the brightness of the shortcut key also changes accordingly, full of details.

The driver is still the Altron driver of the ROG family barrel. After the peripherals are connected, it will automatically prompt to update the driver. The subsequent settings are simple and convenient. The full keyboard supports customization. At the same time, the multimedia area can also be completely customized by itself, which is very convenient. In terms of lighting, in addition to the built-in various lighting effects, it also supports ROG's Aura Sync divine light synchronization, which can perform good lighting linkage with a variety of peripherals that support synchronization. At the same time, in the performance part of the driver, it can also be seen that the keyboard supports the highest performance return rate of 8000Hz. The higher return rate can make your operations be recognized by the computer faster, allowing you to play more in the game. One step ahead.

The AniMe Matrix light matrix screen also has a special driver setting part. In addition to directly using some built-in animation effects, the driver also provides more animation extension downloads. There are various animation effects made by players in the mall, and the keyboard It also supports the dynamic display of multiple animations in series, and the playability is leveraged. At the same time, the display matrix part also supports some display modes of the system, such as alarm clock, date, etc., as well as music mode, which makes your keyboard more personalized.

At the bottom of the keyboard, there is also a LED light strip with good lighting effects. At the same time, the light guide bar adopts a magnetic design. If you want to install the part of the hand rest, you need to remove the light guide bar, and then store it in the hand rest. If you don't remove the light guide strip, the palm rest and the keyboard won't fit perfectly.

The magnetic palm rest has a built-in light guide belt, which can extend the LED light on the PCB to the palm rest. The overall texture of the palm rest and the leather feel are quite good. At the same time, there is an extension of the light, so that the lighting of the keyboard is consistent. It will also perform better.

ROG Glory 2 magic mechanical keyboard, with a fun multimedia control area, handsome and highly customizable AniMe Matrix light matrix screen, full-key hot-swappable support, so that the keyboard has a lot of optional switches , with a handsome leather hand rest that supports light guide, it will be very comfortable for daily use. All kinds of powerful blessings make Yaoguang 2 Magic worthy of the name of the flagship. Friends who like light pollution are worth a look. try it.
