Peripherals Play Chapter 37: Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 wireless version, the short shaft blessing is reborn

Razer has recently released a lot of blockbuster new products like chicken blood. Although the improvement is huge, they are all sequels of mainstream products, but this Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 wireless version makes my eyes shine. You must know that the first generation of Soul Eater Golden Scorpion was born in 2012, after 10 years. , Razer restarted this series again, bringing a brand new V2 version, let us experience it together.

The appearance of the new V2 version completely subverts the previous family-oriented design. Not only does it lose the integrated wrist rest, but the forehead and side frames are also reduced, making the overall look very compact.

In terms of buttons, Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 wireless version adopts a suspension design, which makes the overall effect of the keyboard more beautiful, it can make the light transmission effect of the keyboard more obvious, and it also makes it easier to clean the keyboard.

However, this design will make the cost of the top plate very high. The top plate of the Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 wireless version is cut from a complete piece of 5052 aviation-grade aluminum alloy. It not only ensures the overall strength and texture of the keyboard, but also makes this keyboard very light.

With its slim profile and anodized black satin finish, it fits seamlessly with any table setting.

In terms of buttons, although the keycaps of the Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 wireless version are still made of ABS material, this time Razer has added an exclusive anti-wear protection layer to it, which can prevent the ABS keycaps from being severely worn after long-term use. . Laser-etched legends are remarkably sharp, bright and uniform at all brightness levels.

Beneath the keys are Razer's new optical low-profile switches, which have shorter key travel for faster actuation compared to full-height switches, and sit lower on the keyboard for a more natural fit hand and wrist positioning. Coupled with the light-triggered feature, the response delay of the switch will be lower than that of traditional mechanical switches.

I started with the linear red switch version, with no segment design, the trigger point is 1.2 mm, the full key stroke is 2.8mm, and the trigger force is 45g. Not only that, this linear red switch also has a built-in silicon damper, and the percussion feel is very good, neither sticky nor sticky, nor too strong and loud. Personally, I think the sound is shorter than Cherry MX red To be smaller. You don't have to worry about disturbing your colleagues when you use it in the office.

Although the keyboard design is compact, it is still equipped with a physical multi-function track wheel and multimedia buttons, which can realize pause, play, skip and adjust functions from brightness to volume, but it is a pity that it does not support mapping to other / button functions for the time being.

In addition to the physical multimedia keys, the side of the keyboard is equipped with 3 physical device switching keys. These buttons can be used to quickly switch the connected Bluetooth devices, which further simplifies the desktop setup, using one keyboard to connect multiple Bluetooth devices at the same time.

The prominent HyperSpeed ​​logo on the top means that this keyboard has the function of connecting multiple devices wirelessly to the same receiver. Not only can you make full use of the mouse and keyboard receivers, but you can also free up USB ports on your PC.

The protruding part on the back is the battery compartment of the Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 wireless version. The design of this battery compartment is really ingenious. While providing a larger capacity battery, it also provides a certain slope for the keyboard. Spectrum cycling light effect at 50% brightness for 40 hours of continuous use. If you turn off the lights and use Bluetooth, the battery life can reach 200 hours.

Razer has also added to the Soul Eater V2 Wireless a handy way to check the keyboard's current battery life: the FN + end hotkey. The C1SMG light will illuminate based on the current battery status, with each dot representing approximately 20% battery availability.

After a lapse of 10 years, the Soul Eater Golden Scorpion appeared again. The new compact design and rich functions gave this series a new life. The brand-new optical short axis makes this series no longer limited to office entertainment, and games and e-sports are also handy. We look forward to Razer restarting more keyboard series, such as Tridenta and Annecy, so that these classic veterans will bring us more surprises.
