Peripherals Article 93: May 1st Special: What will be on the desktop of a peripheral enthusiast who no longer has a fever?

I bought the first mechanical keyboard in my life with my last semester’s scholarship when I was an undergraduate, officially entered the pit and started picking up garbage in 2017, and then went to various peripheral digital forums. Looking back now, time really flies Hurry up, the baby is almost 100 days old in a blink of an eye, and my career has reached a more critical moment. The time spent playing a lot in the past has long since become history.

No, just during the gap between breastfeeding and writing codes on May 1 Labor Day, let’s talk about some recommended gadgets that I have played recently, and let everyone see what else is on the desktop of an enthusiast who is no longer so feverish. thing.

First of all, look at the overall picture. Perforated boards are arranged on the right front and left side to further improve the utilization rate of the desktop. In accordance with the principle of 721, the less things that can be seen directly, the better.

The vertical screen on the left is my sharp tool when writing code, and it is also an old item. Acer’s TN 144HZ screen I bought in 2018 was also the first high-definition screen I bought that year, but it was not long after that. To roll dead.

The main screen is Xiaomi's 27 2K 144HZ. At that time, after reading the reviews, it was said that it was a panel that leapfrogged monsters. I placed an order without thinking too much. At present, the performance is very worthwhile in terms of color accuracy and sensory perception.

There is nothing to say about the desktop hanging lamp. I don’t have the money to buy a stupid chicken. I bought the Black Knight Flat Replacement at the time. Now it seems that it is not cheap. Yes, because Xiaomi has released similar products.

The monitor bracket is ORICO’s aluminum alloy bracket. I personally like this kind of retro aluminum lump. It can increase a lot of storage space while raising the monitor, so I have never been interested in changing it to a cantilever type.

Let's talk about the speaker in the middle of the table.

Edifier G1500 BAR is a 7.1 desktop gaming speaker just launched by Edifier HECATE, because I really don’t like wearing headphones to play games, but I’m getting older, and I always have some feelings for domestic products. After all, I was the first one when I was a child. The computer is equipped with Edifier’s speakers, and that set of speakers was accompanied by almost my entire childhood in front of the computer, so when Edifier launches the same type of product, I can’t help but want to try it out.

G1500 BAR From the appearance, this gaming desktop speaker has a stylish design. The black body is dotted with a silver LOGO. In fact, the shape is not new in 23 years. There are still many things to catch up on in terms of actual workmanship and industrial design. point.

In our daily life scenes, the computer is one of our indispensable devices. In fact, the most matching speakers are desktop PCs, because PCs generally do not have their own speakers. During the test, I found that this speaker After the computer is turned off, it will not turn off automatically. This may be more troublesome for busy modern people. Like me, I often forget to turn it off, and then this speaker will be on all night in the study. However, he can turn on the power automatically, but the slot comes again. After the computer is turned on, the button control on the speaker will be invalid after the automatic power on. You need to press the power button once to return to normal. Although this problem does not affect the use of speakers, it still needs to be improved by manufacturers in subsequent product iterations.

In terms of sound quality, Edifier G1500 BAR gaming desktop speakers perform quite well in the limited space of desktop speakers and without the support of a subwoofer. This speaker uses a 4-unit design (two full-range, two passive).

At the same time, the functions of the matching driver are very rich, which makes the sound quality performance better, but the interface interaction of the driver is not very modern, and some functions need to be displayed after right-clicking, which made me study for a long time. The pace of life of modern people is accelerating, and in the face of busy work and life, everyone needs a music partner that can bring joy. The sound quality performance of this speaker can undoubtedly bring a better listening experience to modern people. After the actual experience, the EQ adjustment and virtual 7.1 experience of G1500 BAR can only be said to have this function, which can greatly improve the experience of watching games and movies. big.

Oh, I forgot to mention that this speaker also supports voice prompts, so that users can easily understand the current operating status, which is also a very considerate design for busy modern people.

In addition to sound quality performance, modern people pay more and more attention to appearance design and lighting effects. For gamers, a cool appearance and lighting effects can add more fun to the game. There are extra headphones on the back of the speaker jack and microphone interface.

In addition, the external microphone of this speaker is one of the more eye-catching designs. In the daily life of modern people, video conferencing and online education have become a mainstream way of learning and communication, therefore, a high-quality microphone is becoming more and more important. However, the speaker's microphone design isn't perfect. The mute button is placed on the microphone head, and it is not convenient to operate after installing the anti-spray sponge. It's hard not to feel like the mic is a temporary addition. This also requires manufacturers to improve in subsequent product iterations.

In general, the Edifier G1500 BAR gaming desktop speaker is still relatively good in sound quality, and it also has some practical functions that modern people need. However, the appearance design and industrial design still need to be strengthened to better meet the needs of modern people for game peripheral products. In recent years, the leek-cutting tricks played by many profiteers have also been exposed under the rigorous measurement methods of various laboratories. I’m afraid, just keeping the previous idea of ​​​​making products will only make the cake smaller and smaller. After all, just playing the emotional card will one day be empty. How to keep up with modern people’s thinking in terms of product understanding is a walker. It needs to be worked hard. This may also be the original intention of the audio brand Edifier to try to cross the border and launch the game peripheral brand HECATE in 27 years.

I counted the handles of the chicks, and now I have a total of 4, including the new T4 mirror that I talked about today, a total of 5.

In terms of price, Xiaoji T4 Magic Mirror gamepad is an affordable gamepad, which maintains Xiaoji’s consistent invincible performance in terms of cost performance. It adopts Hall joystick + Hall trigger, and stacks materials very carefully.

The special feature of T4 Vision is its programmable RGB light. The lighting is handled very well this time. The existence of the light pipe makes the light soft and uniform, which makes the handle look very beautiful, but I personally have passed the age of being crazy about lighting. Sometimes things are simple and a little subtracted On the contrary, it is even better.

This time the Chick T4 Magic Mirror game controller didn’t go for Microsoft’s certification. It’s more appropriate to pay less protection fees and spend the cost elsewhere. Anyway, it doesn’t matter to players like us who don’t have XBOX No, without authentication, the back button can be used for bursts and macro settings, which is not flattering.

Therefore, this makes it have a certain advantage in terms of cost performance. The overall workmanship of the handle is very excellent. I am a little dissatisfied with the fact that the acrylic material is easy to scratch. However, in order to create this transparent effect, acrylic is probably the only one. If you choose, you can see that under the transparent shell, you can clearly see the internal bronzing decoration circuit. For the man of science and technology, this is not a kind of romance.

The matching driver functions are also very rich, including custom macro buttons, lighting settings, Hall trigger settings, Hall rocker 0 dead zone Barabara, basically what you can think of, the chicken can let you get started for a few Next, I have to say that the domestically-made handles are made with real care, but it is a bit troublesome to match a handle with a set of drivers. I hope Xiaoji can integrate the drivers of various products to improve the convenience of operation.

The bottom of the Chick T4 Magic Mirror gamepad lacks soft material, which greatly reduces the anti-slip effect of the handle on the table. This problem may affect the gaming experience of some players, but for a gamepad of this price, it is also acceptable. In general, although the price is favorable enough, the Chick T4 Magic Mirror gamepad is not perfect, and it should provide room for subsequent upgrades.

The headphone jack at the bottom is still retained, and the control of the current sound is better than that of the previous G7 after testing. I don’t know if it’s because of the cancellation of the mute button.

According to international practice, I also measured the delay of the T4 Vision, which should be the same hardware solution as the G7, and there is basically no difference in the data.

To sum up, the Chick T4 Magic Mirror gamepad is a cost-effective gamepad, suitable for players who are not too demanding on the handle. Although it has some problems, such as the feel of the buttons needs to be improved and the anti-slip effect is not ideal, but for the price and performance of the gamepad, these problems are still acceptable. If Xiaoji can improve these problems in subsequent upgrades, it is expected to achieve better results in the market and become the first choice of players.

In the era when mechanical keyboards became popular, there were still rumors of the four major artifacts, XX green, XX red, and so on. As expected, all four were foreign brands.

In 2023, these brands may really be "nothing" in the mouths of real players. Indeed, now and domestically made brands, they will give you the entire 99 Gasket hot-swappable, put it in the custom circle in the past, 99 will only buy a few Dragon Boat Beans, these brands of Juan are not only broken by foreign countries The brand's arrogance to the mechanical keyboard, and by the way, tore the last fig leaf of customization, which is really an accidental injury.

Of course, the Juanwang brand really has many existing mature technologies, but there are really technical barriers in the direction, and domestic keyboards have already produced many excellent things.

For example...

Dujia k330w, the endurance performance of this domestic wireless keyboard can be described as jaw-dropping. Using Bluetooth connection, one year of battery life, and using 2.4Ghz connection, it can even reach more than two hundred days of battery life. This kind of battery life is undoubtedly the best among brands in the world. Imagine that in a busy working day, you don’t have to charge frequently. What I personally hate most is that the code is written halfway, and the keyboard is dead. — uncomfortable.

This level of battery life, looking around the world, it is estimated that only Logitech can compete with it, and Logitech’s long battery life keyboards basically rely on dry batteries for power supply, and the discharge rate of lithium batteries is relatively low It can be said that this is the only product that can last for a year with a high battery.

Durga K330W's support for three modes can also quickly switch between multiple devices, but I usually don't use multiple devices at the same time, and I don't think this will be a pain point, so here is no longer Do too much expansion.

In terms of keyboard layout, this Dujia k330w uses a 61-key arrangement, which is very compact and very suitable for programmers who don't need arrow keys like me. Through the FN key, many functions can also be completed, so that although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs. At the same time, the color matching of the keyboard is novel and the visual effect is very good. The black keyboard is dotted with eye-catching orange keycaps, full of futuristic and technological sense, bringing users a stylish and high-quality visual experience.

However, nothing is perfect, and this keyboard is no exception. In our review, we also found some problems. For example, there is a certain shaking phenomenon in the axis of the black crystal axis body. However, this problem has extremely limited impact on the hand feeling and will not have much impact on the normal experience of users.

To sum up, the battery life of this Durga k330w keyboard is amazing, which is its biggest advantage. Although there are some defects, for example, the axis of the black crystal axis body has a certain shaking phenomenon, but the impact on the hand feel is limited. The small arrangement of 61 keys and the novel appearance design of color matching are also the highlights of its attractiveness to users. As a keyboard lover said: "This keyboard is not just a tool, it is a work of art." If you are a user who needs to use the keyboard for a long time, I believe this Duga k330w keyboard, It's sure to make you fall in love with it.

The products we mainly talk about today are all made in China. To be honest, this kind of thing is something that I would not dare to think about in 2012 or 2013. The rise of the domestic consumer manufacturing industry this year has allowed everyone to use it. Good products with high quality and low price not only reflect the result of each of our ordinary consumers "voting with their feet" on consumer electronics, but also reflect the rapid progress of all walks of life in the motherland in the past ten years. National strength improved.

Very good, let's move forward according to this rhythm, our goal will eventually be achieved, and our goal will definitely be achieved.
