Prodigal Eyes—Is it really just to recharge your faith?

For a long time, I have not been interested in mechanical keyboards. There are two main reasons: 1. I don’t play many games; 2. I don’t like the appearance of most mechanical keyboards. In recent years, I have been using Microsoft Logitech’s ergonomic membrane keyboards, mainly for coding. Basically, I only play King of Fighters and Red Alert games. ...and there is very little time to play games, so comfort is still the main consideration.

Recently, it was also a coincidence, and several things happened together. The keyboard in my hand is not comfortable to use, the keys are astringent, which affects the mood of coding; I want to play a few games of King of Fighters to relax after busy work, but the multi-key conflict is severe, and the combination keys cannot be released, which aggravates the depressed mood ;A colleague in the office recently bought a green switch mechanical keyboard, which is quite noisy, but it managed to attract my attention, and I was attracted by the lighting effect of the keyboard. The mechanical keyboard, full of praise in front of me, is also one of the incentives for me to pay attention to mechanical keyboards.

Seeing that I pay more attention to mechanical keyboards, my brother in the office also lent me his idle red-axis keyboard to experience it. In addition to trying his green-axis keyboard before, I basically have an intuitive feeling for these two common switches. The direction has also been basically determined: the tea shaft - but also a sense of paragraph, but also don't want to be too noisy. So, under the influence of multiple external forces, on a dark and windy night, I finally couldn't hold back my inner impulse, secretly hid in front of the computer, opened the browser silently, and blew , carefully browsed the mechanical keyboard all night . Product introduction, buyer evaluation, player evaluation... In the end, ROG's Yaoguang 2 brown-axis keyboard was successfully shortlisted. From the introduction, I seem to be satisfied with all aspects I focused on, except for the price. At this moment, my friend came to persuade me again: "Buy everything, just buy what you want, don't waste that little money..." Well, who made my ears soft, listen to people's advice, eat enough , The next meal will be recognized!

Buy it as soon as you say it, place an order immediately, and it will arrive on Saturday in time. I am working overtime at work, no one bothers me, so I can take a few more photos. Please allow me to give a pseudo unboxing introduction (the first time I was too excited to open the box and forgot to take a photo ）。

The packaging is quite careful, tearing off the outer packaging of the express delivery, and it is still wrapped in a plastic bag, it is full of the logo of the prodigal eye

The packaging design is quite simple

The inner packaging is more concise, there is only one prodigal eye logo

The main body of the keyboard is wrapped in a velvet bag, and it is much flatter than this when it was first unpacked...

I like the dark gray, which looks neat and high-end, and the logo of the prodigal eye in the upper right corner is a bit of a finishing touch.

The palm rest is placed under the keyboard, and the palm rest is an important reference factor for me to choose a keyboard.

The data cable of the keyboard has 2 USB plugs, the one with the keyboard pattern is the keyboard cable, and the one on the left is for the USB interface on the keyboard.

The keycap adopts PBT keycap, and the light effect is turned on by default after power-on, which is very dazzling!

The lighting effect has a scrolling effect, and the color transition is natural, and the Prodigal Eye logo in the upper right corner also changes color along with it.

Once you get the keyboard you've been dreaming of, you must try it out right away. As introduced, this self-developed brown shaft is equivalent to the cherry tea shaft (it is said that the feel is stronger than the cherry tea shaft, but I have never used the cherry tea shaft, so it is not easy to comment). After using it for a few days, I am quite satisfied.

1. The lighting effect is perfect. With the Armory Crate software, there are a variety of lighting effect schemes to choose from, and the playability is very high. If you use the ASUS motherboard, you can also realize the AuraSync divine light synchronization function, and you can achieve linkage lighting effects with other devices (I feel that my MSI motherboard is a bit unhappy ）

The default is the rainbow special effect, multiple special effects can be realized through the software, and the specific effect of each special effect can be customized.

2. Intimate palm rest is attached, made of protein leather, soft and comfortable, fine workmanship, magnetic design makes the appearance clean and neat, but the life of the protein leather is not known how long it will last.

3. The self-developed tea switch feels good, and the transition feeling and noise are balanced between the red switch and the green switch. perfectly acceptable.

4. Comes with multimedia control keys and lighting effect, win key control switch, super convenient to use. The control keys are uniformly set in the upper left corner of the keyboard, which is convenient for left-handed operation during games, and the right hand can not leave the mouse. The multimedia control keys can control music play/pause, previous/next song, volume level, and there is an additional win lock key and light effect on key. The win lock key can prevent the start menu from popping up when the win key is accidentally touched during the game , the lighting effect switch key can switch the keyboard lighting effect with one key.

5. The keyboard also supports recording macros, but I only play The King of Fighters and Red Alert 2, and I don’t feel much about this feature, so skip it here... , but since it comes to games, I still have to briefly talk about it, because one of my pain points was keyboard conflicts when playing King of Fighters, and I paid special attention to this when choosing a keyboard. It's really easy to use, and both dodge and fried bean counterattack can be easily achieved.

On the whole, this is a keyboard that satisfies me. The advantage is that it is excellent everywhere, which makes people love it. If I have to say the disadvantages, it is a bit expensive. The weight loss effect of the wallet is obviously stronger than my weight loss effect. , but who makes me like it . It is said that buying ROG is to recharge your beliefs. In fact, I think it is more loyal to your actual experience. It is worth the money spent, comfortable hands, and a good mood!
