Super long battery life, Kaihua customized TURBO switch body, white backlight supports hot swap, this keyboard is too stable

Probably in September! In order to make my office more comfortable, input easier, and improve productivity, I chose for myself a DURGOD K610w wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard that only needs to be charged twice a year and is hot-swappable. In the past 3 months, although there is no dazzling RGB light effect, the performance of DURGOD K610w's "high-efficiency recording, quiet work, and comfortable feel" really makes me think it is worth the fare.

As early as when I was planning to get the matte version of DURGOD K610w, a friend asked me to wait, because he received the news that this keyboard will soon launch a white version, and the new version will be more beautiful than the matte version. But because work does not wait for anyone, in order to buy early and enjoy early, to face the helpless life of choosing to be a worker that day, the only way is to step into the dull version first.

Perhaps it is destined somewhere, not long after the white light version was launched, the daughter's accidental action of knocking over the water glass made the keyboard used at home very cold. Looking at the messy desktop, there is nothing but helplessness, and there is no need to think too much about how to choose, and directly went to the DURGOD K610w white light version.

DURGOD (DURGOD) K610w white light version follows the dual-band stacked blue, gray and white color combination keycap style and three-mode connection, excellent battery life, PBT keycap, and macro definition in terms of appearance design. , full-key hot-swappable and other features; at the same time, a white backlight is further added, and it is equipped with a Kaihua customized TURBO shaft body, which has greatly improved its appearance and performance.

From the side, the DURGOD K610w white light version can be divided into three layers: "upper cover, middle frame, and lower cover". The three-dimensional sense looks more concise and capable.

DURGOD K610w white light version is a pair of three-mode wireless mechanical keyboard, which provides three connection methods: wired, Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4G. In today's wireless tide, in fact, Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4G wireless can already meet the needs of most environments, and wired connections are more used for firmware updates. In addition, it is also equipped with a Type-C to USB plug, which can meet more usage environments, such as the distance between the host and the keyboard, which can be extended through the adapter, etc.

The power switch and the Type-C interface are located on the front side of the key body. The former is mainly used to control the power supply. The switching of the connection mode is completed through the combination of FN shortcut keys. The switching of different devices can be directly operated by combining hot keys, so It is very convenient to use.

Let’s take a look at the chassis again. The white light version of DURGOD K610w is the same as the matte version. It is equipped with two-stage support feet and four non-slip foot pads. Store when using bluetooth/wired connection. The bottom has a certain line treatment, and the layering of the upper and lower floors matches the DURGOD brand logo. Compared with the flat design, this keyboard has a good three-dimensional effect on the chassis.

I think the focus of attention should be on the difference between the white light version and the matte version of DURGOD K610w, after all, this is recommended to me by friends repeatedly. Different from those mechanical keyboards that pursue colorful RGB light effects, the light effect presented by the DURGOD K610w white version is simple and elegant, and the soft light effect is refracted through the characters. , like the moonlight shining on the earth through the clouds. Such a mechanical keyboard is placed on the table, the beauty is really not to be missed.

The same height as the original factory, the front characters adopt the PBT keycap with two-color closed technology. In order to echo the white light effect, a light-transmitting design is made. With the support of the two-color closed technology, the characters on the keycap are extremely clear, and the keycap is comfortable and delicate when tapping The sensory performance is excellent; it is 2mm lower than the OEM height of the keycap, and it will be more sensitive in the depth of the percussion, bringing a smooth typing experience.

Judging from the effect of using it for a period of time, the white light version of DURGOD K610w has well inherited the various advantages of the matte version of the PBT material keycap, not only has very good wear resistance and anti-oil performance, but also has improved internal reinforcement ribs. While improving the strength of the keycap, it also brings excellent toughness to the keycap, and brings good durability and protection.

If the difference between white light and no light is obvious, Kaihua's customized TURBO shaft has brought me a brand new recording experience. DURGOD (DURGOD) K610w white light version has four kinds of switches: red switch, tea switch, silver switch and mute red switch. I have always asked for a tea switch without thinking about the switch, so I also chose the matte version. The Jiadalong tea switch with a paragraph feel, and during the 3 months of use, the matte version of the Jiadalong tea switch focuses on the crisp touch of the paragraph, which has greatly improved the high-voltage input in my office environment.

But this time, I hope to try other shafts, and try the texture and touch brought by different shafts; combined with the fact that I often code at night, I chose the Kaihua Turbo customized red shaft with a linear feel. The Kaihua Turbo customized red switch has a trigger stroke of 2.0±0.5mm, a trigger pressure of 45±10gf, and a parameter performance of 4.0mm max for the full stroke.

Comparing the Gadalon tea switch, the most obvious difference is that its trigger force is lower than that of the Gadalon tea switch. The lower trigger pressure combined with the silent design of the silicone cushion and sound-absorbing cotton made me, who was used to the crackling recording of the matte version, instantly overflow silently, like silky smooth water flowing slowly through the fields, at night The comfort and tranquility brought by the work are obvious.

Of course, choosing a mechanical keyboard is just for tossing. The white light version of DURGOD K610w supports the hot-swapping solution of the full-key switch body except the satellite switch, and is compatible with the common three-legged and five-legged switches on the market. In the later stage, I can combine the actual feedback of my own use to replace it with a suitable shaft and keycap, and the playability is still quite high.

On the large keys such as space and shift, the DURGOD K610w white light version adopts the satellite axis scheme, and has an arc design on the outside of the keycap, and the details are handled very delicately.

Through the GIF animation, you can feel how the actual buttons of the DURGOD K610w white light version perform! After the shaft body is lubricated and combined with the sound-absorbing cotton and sandwich silicone pad at the bottom, the white light version of DURGOD K610w has been significantly improved in the control of noise and spring sound, and has a solid side in quiet processing.

Although the light effect of DURGOD K610w does not have RGB colorfulness, it also provides several light effect modes, in addition to constant on/off, there are also "rotation, wave, breathing, starry, response, ripple , Laser, etc., which well meet my needs for backlight effects.

What is the difference between its actual light effect and RGB dazzling? Through the GIF picture below, maybe you can experience what I said earlier, "like the moonlight shining on the earth through the clouds".

Like the non-light version, the DURGOD K610w white light version can update the firmware of the 2.4G wireless receiver and the keyboard through the DURGOD Zeus Engine, but it should be noted that the keyboard firmware update can only be completed under a wired connection. Unlike the matte version, the firmware can not only customize the FN shortcut key combination and macro key recording, but also increase the customization of the light effect mode, where you can adjust the brightness, direction, speed, etc. of various light effects. set up.

Because it is a monochrome white light version, it is much simpler to customize the light effect than RGB colorful mechanical keyboards, and it can be easily controlled without too much research. At the same time, the DURGOD K610w white light version can save the set data to the onboard memory synchronously, even if the device of a different system is replaced, the saved settings will not be affected.

In terms of system compatibility, the DURGOD K610w white light version provides a comprehensive system compatibility solution. Its built-in chip can automatically identify the connected device system and switch automatically. Common Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android and other systems They are all perfectly compatible, and the commonly used keys are also adapted. Cooperating with multimedia control and FN shortcut key combination switching, the conversion and control between multiple platforms and multiple devices brings easy and efficient side, and does not require every device. All with a keyboard.

Although the DURGOD K610w white light version has a backlight, its performance in terms of battery life is still strong. It is equipped with a large-capacity lithium battery inside. On the basis of high performance, low delay, and stable output, it is further reduced through optimization. Power consumption, and overall improved battery life. Calculated based on 8 hours of working time per day, the DURGOD K610w white light version can provide about 200 days of battery life in 2.4Ghz mode; in Bluetooth mode, it can bring up to 360 days of long-term battery life. In other words, even if turning on the backlight will increase power consumption, it can still show excellent battery life with a half-year charge. For mechanical keyboards with backlights, this battery life performance is almost unique.

Regardless of whether it is a white version or a matte version, the keyboard of DURGOD K610w has shown a solid side in terms of appearance, performance, workmanship, and battery life. It can almost meet all my functional requirements for mechanical keyboards, "full key array, three-mode, multi-device, multi-platform, hot-swappable, PBT keycaps, multiple light effects, FN shortcut keys, macro definition and long battery life" , I don’t have too many troubles to upgrade in the later stage, and I have equipped myself with a pair of mechanical keyboards that can be used for a long time in one step.

It is the first time for me to try a shaft body other than a tea shaft. Although the Kaihua Turbo custom red shaft is a linear shaft, the silky smooth experience it brings to me is obvious, especially when coding at night. The quiet overflow shown by the disk body and the key body allows me to completely calm down without worrying about affecting my family. Since I don’t play e-sports myself, I personally don’t have too much pursuit of the colorfulness of RGB, so the backlight design of the DURGOD K610w white version can fully meet my daily use, just like a silver-coated I love the soft white light.

In general, if you are not a friend who is particularly pursuing RGB light effects, you can basically find no faults with the DURGOD K610w white light version. Its excellent workmanship and comprehensive performance are enough to meet the needs of machinery in various environments. Keyboard Quest.
