Small and exquisite, simple and practical - Dujia K330W PLUS three-mode mechanical keyboard experience

I might be a Durga fan because this is my 4th Durga keyboard. From 104 keys to 87 keys, and 61 keys is the first attempt. Three-mode, long standby time, and compact size, this time the Durga K330W PLUS seems to be specially designed for mobile office. Not much nonsense, let's go straight to the topic~

In the previous sharing, most of me would not take a photo specifically for the outer packaging to explain separately. The reason for making an exception this time is that in my opinion, the outer packaging of Durga K330W PLUS is really exquisite, black, The combination of white and silver, and the combination of different fonts show delicacy and style, and the sense of high-end is overwhelming.

On the back, 11 kinds of characters are used to indicate the main characteristics of the product, which is quite international.

Unpacking the family portrait, in addition to the keyboard body and manual, accessories include TYPE-A to TYPE-C data cable, TYPE-A to TYPE-C socket converter, shaft puller, steel wire key remover and a Velcro cable harness with LOGO . Unlike the Duga products I have used in the past, the data cable and cable harness are all white this time, which is probably to better cater to the keyboard body with a refreshing tone.

The color I chose this time is called "Ion Storm". It adopts a black, white, and blue contrasting color design, which looks refreshing on the desktop.

The black keys are calm and atmospheric, the white keys are crystal clear and pure, plus a touch of ethereal blue, I believe it will not cause visual fatigue for a long time. In addition, many function keys have joined the Fn + function, which is more convenient for daily operation.

The K330W PLUS, which adopts a 61-key compact layout, simplifies the keypad area and the editing key area, retaining only the most commonly used keys in daily life. The size of the keyboard is only 300mm*112mm*36mm, and the weight is only 596g.

This size and weight is more convenient to carry around, it is simply an artifact of mobile office.

Different from the several Durga keyboards I have used before, K330W PLUS has added a large-angle chamfer design to the frame, which has made some changes on the basis of simplicity and retro, adding a sense of technology.

The four columns of vertical indicator lights are arranged in the upper left corner of the keyboard, hidden in the black upper edge, and it is not easy to find when it is not lit. In order to ensure the simplicity of the design, this is also the only extra element on the front of the K330W PLUS besides the buttons.

The LOGO of DGRGOD is placed in the lower left corner of the bottom, just like the previous Durga products I have used.

On both sides of the top edge are slide switches and Type-C data interfaces.

There are two anti-slip pads on both ends of the back of the fuselage, which are designed for different directions in the horizontal and vertical directions, so that the force in each direction can get greater friction and the placement is more stable.

The 2.4G receiver finally has its own storage compartment, which is more convenient when traveling and not easy to lose.

According to the official, the 2.4G receiver has been redesigned to reduce the impact of complex environments on wireless signals and make the receiver more stable in a high-performance state. This will be verified later in the course of use.

The foot support for horizontal opening and closing is a single-stage type, that is to say, the keyboard has two inclination angles with the foot support and without the use of the foot support.

However, the K330W PLUS itself is designed with a high front and a rear bottom, and the use of kick supports is sufficient to meet the requirements of use.

For those who play mechanical keyboards, the key puller is a common thing. Dujia's steel wire key puller is friendly to use, and the operation of removing the keycap is very convenient.

As for the material of the keycap, the original PBT material is still used, which is more hard, feels good, is not easy to oil, and has a slightly matte texture, which feels very comfortable. The characters on the front of the keycap adopt a two-color closed-end molding process, which is regular and beautiful and not easy to wear.

As for the switch body, it is a customized switch body-Crystal Switch (Crystal Switch), which is a cooperation between Dujia and Jiadalong. This series of switches has been further adjusted by Dujia to make it feel smoother and more comfortable. The large key uses a satellite shaft design, which has also been adjusted repeatedly to restore the feel of the key shaft. This time I tried to replace it with a custom-made tea switch. The feature is that it has the sense of paragraph I like, but it is not as soft as the red switch, and it also reduces the sound of the green switch. Still more suitable for long-term coding.

Finally it’s time to take out the shaft body. This is the first time I’ve touched a keyboard with a hot-swappable shaft body. I thought it would be troublesome, but in fact it’s not. Use the built-in shaft puller to clamp the upper and lower buckles. You can remove the shaft body, which is not more difficult than removing the keycap. The only thing that is a bit uncomfortable is the upper and lower rows of shafts. Due to the small distance from the frame, it is a little difficult for the shaft puller to enter.

There are two pins under each shaft body, inserting the positioning plate is equivalent to connecting the circuit, and then it can work normally.

There are a lot of keycaps and shafts that have been removed, and there are 6 screws on the bare aluminum alloy positioning. Let's take it apart and have a look.

The internal structure is not complicated. The uppermost layer is a combination of aluminum alloy positioning board and PCB board. It is worth mentioning that there is also a layer of silicone shock absorbing board between them, plus a separate layer of sound-absorbing pad, which effectively blocks the clutter. sound.

The large battery that occupies a large area of ​​the bottom case is particularly eye-catching, and the capacity is marked as 3600 mAh. It is said that when the battery is fully charged, the 2.4G mode can achieve 180 days of battery life, and the Bluetooth mode can reach 240 days of battery life. Although I haven't had such a long time to confirm, but I think it's not too bad. It takes more than half a year to charge once, which is really worry-free.

Connect to the computer, open DURGOD ZEUS ENGINE, the system will automatically recognize the keyboard, one thing I am not sure, it seems that the system can even recognize the color of the keyboard I am using, it is amazing.

Of course, you can edit your own keyboard through this software, use the mechanical keyboard macro programming function to customize keys, and use the built-in three-layer editing layer to customize various function keys to make the operation more convenient and accurate. This is the true meaning of this software.

In order to save space, I put a very small computer desk in the corner of the living room. A 104-key keyboard and a mouse can cover the entire desktop horizontally. This time, the K330W PLUS is extremely harmonious here, and the advantages of the small keyboard are fully reflected here.

In terms of feel, although it is the first time to use a brown shaft, thanks to Dujia's excellent adjustment, I can quickly find the previous feeling, or the familiar feeling from the past, and the discomfort of changing the shaft body is fleeting.

In the end: In fact, after getting this keyboard, I have promised to give it to a friend. But after a period of experience, the super long battery life, the excellent Jiadalong crystal axis, the small body, the stunning color matching and the powerful function of connecting four devices with three connection methods make me a little fond of it. If I really want to talk about expectations, I really hope that Dujia can produce a wireless and backlit product. I am willing to pay the price of reducing battery life for this. So this experience is here first, and I have to choose a small keyboard for myself.
