Peripherals Part 5: Durga Hi Keys Brown Switch: A mechanical keyboard with more performance and temperature

Life is not only about the present, but also poetry and the distance.” A cup of strong coffee may be a little warmer in your work, and maybe a good keyboard can also bring more warmth to your work. I think this is Du The biggest step Jia has taken since adjusting the brand strategy is to break the traditional design and create a different keyboard series, which integrates life and social interaction into it. It is the Hi series.

As the first product of the Hi series, Hi Keys is very close to life in terms of design and performance, and every time you meet it, it will not bring you the pressure of work, but more the warmth of life.

Durga Hi Keys can be said to be full of warmth from the outside to the inside. The very jumping "Hi Keys" label is printed in the middle of the outer packaging. There is a smiling face on the side of the product LOGO, and an imaginary hand underneath. The edge of the packaging is also With the logo of "Hi Keys", the whole design is full of breath of life. Open the package inside, and a white Durga Hi Keys brown switch version of the keyboard lies quietly inside.

As the first product of the Hi series, Hi Keys is very different from the products on the market in terms of appearance design. First of all, in terms of the appearance design of the keyboard, the silver plastic keyboard shell has a metal look and feel, and the texture is great. The edge is designed with a curved shape and has a certain slope. up.

At the bottom of the keyboard are two pieces of silver and one black color matching design, and there is also an engraved "DURGOD" LOGO of Durga at the bottom. There is a one-piece foot support on each side of the top, and there is a hidden 2.4Ghz wireless adapter storage compartment on the left side. It uses a magnetic suction scheme, which is very convenient for storage.

To change the connection mode through physical operation, I think it is a very big breakthrough in design. The left side of the keyboard is a transparent sliding button to control the power on and off, and the front side is a rotary needle type design, which can switch the connection mode by twisting , including 2.4G wireless adapter mode, two Bluetooth modes. In the form of physical buttons, I don't need to switch through key combinations. I think it is more intuitive and convenient.

The keycap design can be said to be a very big innovation. In terms of the number of keys, Hi Keys uses the mainstream 84-key design. Compared with the full key, the number keypad is canceled and some common function areas are retained. The keyboard area is smaller, and the functions are well preserved.

The 86-key design can provide a very good experience whether it is for daily office work or game entertainment. The independent arrow keys are very convenient for moving. For this keyboard keycap is very novel, whether it is suitable for office work, games and entertainment, many friends may feel skeptical.

The idea of ​​the keycap design comes from the sandwich, the middle is low, the left and right sides are high, the edge has a certain corner, and there are arc-shaped concaves on the upper and lower sides. In the actual use process, the keys will not slip. , when the fingertips slide sideways, the parameter control is also very stable.

As the first keyboard of the Hi series, the keycaps use ABS keycaps with excellent experience. The logo design is also different from the conventional design. The fat round style design is used in ESC, SPACE, ENTER, etc. The buttons also have their own characteristics, and the overall style is trendy.

In terms of mechanical bearings, Kaihua Axis Turbo series shafts are used here. It is worth mentioning that the first release of this series of shafts is Dujia's K610W series keyboard (Turbo), which is the same as Hi Keys and used in Turbo series. A brand-new mould, four buckle wall axis structure, compared with the same type of axis, has higher precision and smoother.

The one in my hand is the Turbo tea switch series, the trigger force is about 40gf, the total stroke is about 3.6mm, and the lifespan is as high as 80 million times (the silent red switch is 50 million times), which is far longer than the imported cherry switch. . Everyone can rest assured to break the traditional concept of the life of domestic mechanical shafts. The Turbo series has light and matte versions, and the Hi Keys series is equipped with white light transparent bearings, which can be adjusted in various modes. It is worth mentioning that the keycaps are not transparent, and the white light is transmitted through the gaps in the keycaps. If there is a set of transparent keycaps, it will be more visually shocking.

In terms of the overall experience, I think the whole keyboard is more towards life, visually it brings you more colors of life, rather than pressure from work. In terms of button experience, the brown switch is a paragraph switch. Compared with the linear switch such as the red switch, it will have an obvious bottoming feeling, the straight up and down feel will be obvious, and the tapping feel will be more comfortable. , but in terms of sound, it will be louder and more crisp than linear switches such as red switches. If it is used in the public place of the company, I personally tend to recommend the version of the silent red switch. If it is used at home, the version of the brown switch will give you a better experience.

If there is a need to carry it out, I think this keyboard is also suitable, because its battery life is almost better than that of similar products. When the backlight is turned off and the Bluetooth connection is turned off, the battery life can last up to 360 days. Even at 25% brightness, the battery life is also up to After 90 days, the keyboard is charged through the type-c port, so the compatibility of the device is completely needless to say.

In summary, this is a mechanical keyboard that is not only suitable for work, but also for games, with a very rich function, and the design is closer to life. Whether it is for your own use or as a gift, it is a very good choice. I think this Hi Keys of Durga is not only a keyboard, but also an expression of life attitude.
