It adopts the classic 87-key arrangement, continues the three-mode design of K7Pro, and the PBT five-sided sublimation keycap, and adopts the rare Top structure, and equipped with Jiadalong's latest wallaby switch, let me briefly share this keyboard with you.

The packaging of the keyboard is quite thick, with colorful printing, the front is the appearance of the keyboard, and the base picture is the animation illustration featured by Darmoshark.

Darmoshark K6 Luohan adopts the classic 87-key layout, white casing, medium-thick frame, and some keycaps adopt the elements of "Space Werewolf".

The frame of Darmoshark K6 Luohan adopts a convex shape, which is more three-dimensional when viewed from the side.

Darmoshark K6 Luohan is quite refreshing overall, only a dozen keycaps have been customized, and the others still use black keycaps on a white background.

The ESC key on the keyboard is the Darmoshark LOGO, the Tab key is DC's Batman, and the Shift key is Marvel's Spiderman. The fonts in the letter area of ​​the keyboard are larger, the fonts in the F area and number area are smaller, and keys such as Ctrl and Win are enclosed in double quotation marks.

Does anyone know what the letters on the Enter key and the Back key mean? Area F is our Space Werewolf Killing Marvel series, Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, all with cute shapes.

The keyboard presents a natural slope when it is laid flat. It can be seen that the front frame is still quite high. It is recommended to use it with a hand rest.

The keyboard adopts the rare TOP structure. It can be seen from the schematic diagram on the left side of the above figure that the keyboard positioning plate and PCB are fixed on the upper cover, and the upper cover is connected with the bottom shell. The keyboard with this structure has the consistency of the keys. will be better. The keyboard adds a silicone sandwich pad and a shaft pad between the positioning board and the PCB board, and a silicone bottom pad is added under the PCB board to fill the inside tightly, thereby reducing cavities and noise.

There is a Darmoshark alloy nameplate in the upper right corner of the keyboard, which is quite textured, and the overall weight of the keyboard is also quite heavy.

The keyboard has 4 indicator lights next to the ESC, the Type-C data cable interface is in front of the indicator light, and the mode switch is next to the interface. The font of the mode label is relatively light, "G" to the left is 2.4G wireless mode, "OFF" in the middle is wired mode, and "B" to the right is Bluetooth mode, but the switch is relatively small, and the adjustment is not very smooth. The keyboard has a built-in 4000 mAh rechargeable battery, which can be used continuously for about 24 hours after the light is turned on, and about 266 hours after the light is turned off. This battery life is still good.

The bottom of the keyboard is relatively simple, with non-slip pads on the four corners, and no bracket design, that is, the height of the keyboard is fixed, so it is recommended that you use it with a hand rest.

A 2.4G adapter storage compartment with a cover is designed in the middle of the top of the keyboard, and the magnetic adsorption design prevents it from loosening.

The keyboard adopts MDA ball cap, which is about the same height as the OEM, but the contact surface is larger, giving people a more solid feeling when using it.

The wire key puller that comes with the keyboard is still very easy to use. It can be inserted, rotated 45 degrees, and lifted, which is much smoother than the plastic key puller.

The keycap is made of PBT material, which is not easy to oil. The five-sided sublimation process has clear fonts and patterns. The keycap wall is medium and thick, but the edges are slightly burred.

The keyboard adopts Jiadalong's latest wallaby switch, with a large section switch in advance, a light green switch core, no fence structure, and a transparent top cover.

The large keys of the keyboard are designed with satellite shafts, making it easy to insert and remove the keycaps. The satellite shaft is self-lubricating at the factory, and there is no noise during use.

The keyboard supports hot-swapping. Use the shaft puller in the accessory to clamp the gap at the bottom of the key shaft up and down, and the shaft body can be taken out by lifting it up. Do not use brute force.

Kaihua shaft seat, 3-pin, 5-pin shaft body, Jiadalong small squirrel shaft uses a 5-pin shaft body, when you install it, you must pay attention to aligning each foot and then press down to fix it.

Darmoshark K6 Luohan has three shaft versions: Jiadalong Wallaby, G Silver Pro2.0, and G Yellow Pro2.0, with slightly different prices. The shaft core of the wallaby axis has no fence, and the other two models have semi-open fences. The wallaby shaft adopts 22mm double-segment gold-plated spring, made of SUS304, with sufficient rebound and rigidity.

The driver of Darmoshark K6 Luohan can be downloaded from the official website. The interface is quite brief, mainly composed of driver settings, key assignment, keyboard lighting effects, macro settings, and rhythm lighting effects. The button assignment function is very rich. In addition to the daily key change, you can also set two layers of FN combination keys.

Keyboard lighting effects, built-in 16 kinds of lighting effects such as dreamy rainbow, starry dots, drifting with the tide, etc., you can also customize the lighting effects or turn off the lights, and the color and motion speed of the lights can also be set.

The last is the rhythm lighting effect, which displays dynamic lighting effects according to the music and sound played by the computer. When listening to songs or watching movies, it is more dynamic. There are soft, rock, regular, vocal and other effects to choose from, and the background color, gain factor, and smoothness can also be set.

The keyboard defaults to follow the flow lighting effect, and some are called gradient illusion, the color changes gradually from left to right, and the brightness and speed of the light can be set by pressing FN and arrow keys.

Since the keycaps are designed to be opaque, the keyboard backlight mainly serves as an ambient light.

Although the keyboard adopts a sunken button design, the lamp beads are quite bright, and with the transparent top cover of the small squirrel switch, the overflow effect is still good.

After removing the keycap, the transparency of the Jiadalong Little Squirrel switch is still acceptable. After turning on the backlight, the upper cover of the switch body is bright. If it is equipped with a transparent keycap, the effect will be good.

Both wired and wireless modes of Darmoshark K6 Luohan support full-key no-dash, for gamers, there is no need to worry about key conflicts.

If you are typing and playing games, the MDA ball cap of the keyboard and the small squirrel switch will give you a refreshing feel. After a long paragraph in advance, you can continue to press and touch the bottom very smoothly, softly and with strong rebound.

If you mainly use it to play games, you can choose the G Silver Pro2.0, which triggers faster and is quieter, and typing is a little boring. The Jiadalong squirrel can also be used to play games. After the early paragraph is over, it feels good to continue to play on time and smoothly. I have played CSGO for a few days, and the operations such as moving positions, jumping boxes, and switching weapons are quite comfortable. Of course, I recommend Wallaby Axis to play MOBA games such as LOL and DOTA2.

At present, the mechanical keyboards on the market are mainly based on the hull structure, which has strong compatibility, low failure rate, and low cost. Even some first-tier manufacturers are also using them. However, there are many problems, such as inconsistent hand feeling, more noise and so on. Nowadays, major manufacturers are pushing the Gasket structure one after another, which improves the feel and noise, but of course the cost is also high. Darmoshark has launched the rare TOP structure. Although the hand feel is not as elastic as the Gasket structure, the consistency of the hand feel is good. On the basis of the TOP structure, Darmoshark K6 Luohan adds silicone sandwich pads, under-shaft pads, and silicone bottom pads to fill the keyboard, reduce cavities, and reduce noise.

Darmoshark K6 Luohan adopts the combination of MDA ball cap and Jiadalong wallaby shaft, which provides a refreshing, rebounding and powerful feel, taking into account typing and games. If you mainly play games, you can also choose Jiadalong G Silver Pro2.0, which triggers more quickly. The personalized keycaps of the elements of "Space Werewolf" also add a lot to the appearance of the keyboard. The keyboard adopts wired, 2.4G, and Bluetooth 5.0 three-mode connection, which is suitable for Android, Mac, Windows and other systems, and can be used on computers, tablets, and mobile phones. Finally, I would like to briefly summarize the characteristics of Darmoshark K6 Arhat, and put forward some suggestions for your reference.
