Peripheral Sharing Article 165: Getting Started is Fully Equipped——ROG Daredevil Three-mode Wireless Keyboard Sharing

Speaking of mechanical keyboards, the most popular in the past two years must be the 98 and 75 configurations. The compact key layout can also provide a relatively complete function key area. The basic difference lies in the small keyboard area, while For me, who has no need for a small keyboard, of course I prefer a smaller arrangement. As for the recent phenomenon that customized elements have gradually invaded mass production, I personally still quite support it, so that ordinary players can enjoy more interesting designs, and ROG, after entering the market, the first customized element keyboard As soon as it comes out, the direct configuration is full, and the entry is full. Let me see to what extent it can roll.

The ROG family-style packaging is full of big eye elements as always, and the overall keyboard protection measures are still in place.

But this time it’s fun, ROG directly comes with a complete set of shaft running tools, key puller, shaft puller, shaft opener (supports both NX and MX shafts), shaft plate, shaft running pen and so on. Sure enough, ROG did it in one step, allowing you to play as much as you want.

Taking out the main body of the keyboard is this plain-looking 75% keyboard. The F area is compacted because of the small screen, and a set of gray and black two-color injection-molded PBT light-transmitting keycaps are used.

I heard that many people like Daredevil very much. I don’t know if they like this RGB lighting and this set of two-color light-transmitting keycaps.

Or this aluminum alloy CNC cover

The small screen in the upper right corner is probably the reason why many people love it. At the same time, there is this combination of levers on the side, which is probably the favorite of many people.

The keyboard supports 2.4G (someone at station B has evaluated the delay of a batch of 2.4G keyboards, the first echelon of ROG Nightmare, stable), Bluetooth, wired three-mode design, and ROG big eyes everywhere, which must be very attractive people

The quality of this set of two-color injection-molded PBT light-transmitting keycaps that comes with Nightmare is quite good. The surface of the keycaps has a matte texture. The cap also has the key position marked MacOS, which should be more in place than the support for Win/MacOs.

Regarding the positioning board, everyone will be very surprised, why ROG claims to be customized, but the positioning board still uses the most original metal positioning board. As the first Daredevil to enter the field of customization, from what I have learned, ROG has of course tried all the common PCs, FR4, and the latest pok material positioning boards on the market, but since It is a mass-produced product from a large manufacturer. There must be various considerations before making this choice. You can also look forward to whether there will be official accessories for direct sale in the future.

The satellite switch part still uses ROG’s own satellite switch structure. Compared with the common satellite switch, this set of structure is simpler, but the stability of getting started is quite good, the overall feel is crisp, and the consistency when hitting the buttons Very good, the switch body adopts its own NX mechanical switch body, the keyboard supports three-legged pentagonal switch for hot swapping, and the switch body can freely choose the switch body you like. At the same time, the middle of the PCB and the positioning board is also filled with silicone pads, so that the sound can be more solid.

Because it adopts the more popular Gasket structure, the keyboard can be easily opened by removing the screws around the keyboard case. Multiple separate small boards, PORON foam filled at the bottom, and LOGO printed on the bottom layer, full of silicone sound-absorbing cotton, compact and neat layout, very comfortable to look at

Daredevil's Gasket structure is achieved through the ear structure on the positioning board and the silicone gasket, which can provide slight deformation to improve the feel of the button trigger.

On the back of the PCB, you can see that the shaft seat part is made by TTC. At the same time, the satellite shaft part also has reserved holes for the PCB satellite shaft. Friends who like tossing can still customize it as much as they want. The aluminum cover processed by CNC can also be customized. Let the keyboard have the potential of semi-aluminum lumps, but one thing worth complaining about is that the material of this screen cover is still too fragile. It is recommended that you do not tear off this layer of film, otherwise it will be the beginning of blurred screen.

ROG's own Altron driver is still very convenient. It is designed in a family bucket. Adding new peripherals can directly download the latest update part. The operation is not complicated. There are tips reminders at key positions. Some custom function settings can be added, and some original functions can be blocked at the same time. The usability is still good.

The 2-inch OLED display on the Daredevil is also very playable. In addition to music, system information and other modes, I still prefer to directly upload custom GIF pictures. The keyboard is much more eye-catching.

ROG Daredevil, the entry-level customization is fully equipped, this sentence is not just talking, 75% configuration, full-key hot-swappable, small screen, side lever, three-mode wireless connection, Gasket structure, multi-layer noise reduction The structure, the factory self-lubricating NX shaft, the satellite shaft, the battery life of up to 2000+ when the lights are off and the screen are turned off, etc., all explain ROG’s determination to enter this market of customized keyboards. I believe that after absorbing the first wave After the keyboard feedback, the follow-up products will undoubtedly be another wave of bright products, which is worth looking forward to.
