[Tested] ROG Glory 2 Magic: The ceiling of the gaming keyboard, full of RGB effects!

I have been using the keyboard of Yaoguang 2 Magic for several months. I use this keyboard almost every day when I play games at home and work. Let me share my experience of using this keyboard.

First the basic parameters:

Model: ROG Yaoguang 2 Magic

Shaft body: hawthorn red shaft Connection method: wired - dual USB port connection

RGB: support

Colour: Black

Arrangement: 104 key PBT keycaps

Hot swap: full key hot swap

Special features: additional keys such as light display matrix screen, control wheel, etc.

The front of the keyboard is made of anodized sandblasted all-aluminum material, and you can always trust ROG in terms of texture.

The main body of the keyboard is relatively thin (the height of the keycaps is not included, only the base is counted), and the actual measurement is about 1.3cm, which is almost the same thickness as the low-axis keyboard. The height of ordinary keyboards is about 2-3cm, which also makes the whole keyboard experience very Well, when used with a hand rest, there is basically no need to hang your hand in the air.

Note: I have felt that the height of most mechanical keyboards is too high since I started using mechanical keyboards, but there may be some people who just like that height, and this is just a personal opinion.

Height contrast, left ROG↑

On the back is a prodigal eye icon with a brushed design.

In terms of foot support, this ROG model is not a multi-segment design. It only has one gear, plus a foot pad to raise the ground slightly. It is still because the keyboard is relatively thin, and the multi-segment foot support is not used.

The keycap part uses two-color injection molding PBT keycaps, which takes into account the feel and light transmission, and the RGB effect is very good (if RGB is not turned on, the color perception of two-color injection molding is actually rather monotonous).

The keyboard feels like a typical PBT keycap, with a slightly frosted feel, and with the metal shell, it has a hard-core look.

As for the switch body, mine is Hawthorn red switch (linear switch, short trigger key stroke, very suitable for playing games), all keys support hot swapping, and built-in sound-absorbing cotton.

There are 2 knobs + 2 extra buttons in the upper left corner, all of which can be customized by downloading software. The default function is to adjust the volume (volume increase and decrease, press to mute), adjust the previous song and the next song (press to pause playback), button 1 is to disable the Win key, and button 2 is to turn off the light.

However, this keyboard key wire is not separated, and the wire is very thick, because the wire itself has two USB ports that can be connected to the computer.

There is a USB port behind the keyboard, where you can connect external devices such as a mouse, which is equivalent to transferring the USB port of the computer to the back of the keyboard. I usually use this to connect headphones.

Note: This is also a design of different opinions. It is worthwhile for the game party. If you listen to music, you can also consider having good headphones + amps (that's what I do).

There's also a pixel-style display to the right of the keyboard, which is cool too.

A bunch of things can be displayed here, such as pause, previous song and next song, or some special images (there are a bunch of them available with the software).

The keyboard comes with a palm rest. If you are worried that the RGB effect will be blocked by the palm rest, you can take out the plastic light strip inside and install it outside the palm rest to continue to transmit light.

The palm rest is also included ↑

Other functions:

The keyboard supports up to 8KHz return rate, ultra-low latency, built-in WINDOWS disable key, tailor-made for playing games.

All keys support the custom settings of the ROG software~ Anyone who has used it knows it, so I am too lazy to go into details.

In terms of keyboard tuning, whether it is the satellite axis or other axes, they are quite stable.

Since I don’t have a good radio equipment, I don’t record the sound of the keyboard. The daily listening experience is similar to the sound of a few large keys, and the area of ​​​​the letter keys is a little bit “clang, clang, clang”.

Brief summary: Although this is a keyboard that supports customization, the quality of the keyboard itself is fully usable, especially suitable for gaming parties.

Whether it is design or materials, ROG should definitely give enough.

Game + customization enthusiasts can consider this keyboard:

Of course, I have to explain again: this keyboard has no key line separation, which is probably the only slot.
