The flagship keyboard with the last mile - ROG Yaoguang 2 Magic

Hi~ See you again! I have shared a lot of peripherals recently, but most of them only have small surprises, no big surprises! The product in this issue is different. As a person who doesn’t like RGB so much, I have a very good evaluation of it-ROG Yaoguang 2 Magic Mechanical Keyboard!

Keyboard size: 435mm x 165mm x 38mm, weight: 1157g, palm rest size 435mm x 85mm x 27mm, only suitable for fixed use at home, take it with you when you go out? I am afraid that the weight will have to follow Guixianren's exercise method.

Compared with the previous generation, the biggest upgrade at the first glance is the area on the upper right of the keyboard. The huge AinMe Matrix light display matrix light effect is composed of 312 programmable LED lamp beads. You can customize the pattern through the Altron APP. Complicated Chinese characters and patterns are not displayed completely, but English subtitles and simple graphics look good, the key is the flowing lighting effect! It is estimated that it is also expensive here!

After all, it is only the lamp beads on the keyboard, so the overall brightness is not bad; and in the Ultron store, the official has also given a lot of designed patterns, if you are too lazy to design, you can download it directly and use it (the highlight of this keyboard, If you are lazy, what's the use of buying it)

Let's take a look at the animation below: the video source is high-definition, but the GIF that is compressed to be suitable for uploading on the platform looks a bit blurry.

I have to say, just like the iPhone’s home button, Liu Haiping, and the current Smart Island, ROG is gradually adding AinMe Matrix to all series of products, the huge display area on the back of the ROG G14 notebook, and the Prism S series earphones. The lampshade part, as well as the LED screen of the ROG Phone 6D shell that I shared before, and even the motherboard are added! Such a design with its own unique recognition, on the one hand, echoes consumers’ desire to play with “lights”, on the other hand, it also adds a sense of technology to the product, and the price is set higher, so the public thinks it is not so outrageous~

Standard 104-key arrangement, double-color injection molded PBT keycaps, original factory height, good light transmittance, a bit of sandblasting on the surface, it feels a bit grainy when you first get started, the advantage is that it prevents oiling at the back, but the appearance is average; Even if you want to change the keycaps, it is recommended to use a dark color. The factory-made color combination is still good-looking.

My model is Kaihua's self-developed ROG NX red switch (and Cherry MX switch), cross axis, 1.8mm driving point, and faster triggering, but it's mechanical pressing instead of laser, so it's really important to know which one is faster. As a non-professional and player, I really can’t tell the difference; the initial resistance of 40gf can prevent accidental touch keys, and the trigger force of 55gf provides a better feedback feeling, and the overall smoothness is good.

There are fewer ROG keyboards used in the past, so this ROG Yaoguang 2 Magic seems to be a rare one that supports full-key hot-swapping. The attached accessories include a key puller and a shaft puller, and the shaft puller is still made of metal. Yes, this thing with the logo of prodigal eyes is estimated to cost 40-50 yuan a piece~ There is also a sense of balance under the big keys, and I can hear a little metal knocking sound. I don’t know if it’s because of this or because of it. The overall panel of the 2nd generation has been changed from a plastic shell to a metal one; after the 2nd generation is changed to a suspension design, it is also more convenient for the keyboard to be cleaned.

The keycaps of the ESC, control, and arrow keys have engravings on the front and side, and the others are only on one side; there are indicators above the arrow keys, only the lamp beads will be on and only the white light will be on, and the instructions below will not be on. .

ROG Glory 2 Magic is a wired keyboard. This is the only thing that I think is a pity. The paracord line is very strong; there is also a USB port that can be used for a wired mouse or a 2.4G receiver for a wireless mouse; if it is a dual I guess I will write at the beginning of the article: If you want a full set of ROG, or the budget for peripherals is suitable, just choose this one, don’t think about it!

The attached palm rest can be magnetically attached to the keyboard. The large RGB area under the space on the picture has a magnetic light strip, which can be directly placed on the same position on the palm rest after disassembly.

I don’t usually use the palm rest very much, so I think it’s average. It should be memory foam (I heard that this is used for good ones), and the whole hand is not completely sunken, and there will be no obvious height difference with the keyboard; The leather is good, but if it is used for a long time, the leather will be broken into small pieces.

Finally, there is the part of the media control area, which is also my favorite part; I always think it is a plus to have scroll wheels and knobs on the keyboard, some are decorative, and some are really useful! Probably because I use Da Vinci for editing but can't afford a dedicated keyboard! From left to right is the pause button on the most side, the lever design for the previous song and the next song, and the scroll wheel is used to adjust the volume; the scroll wheel of the previous generation is made of rubber, and the second generation is replaced by aluminum alloy. , and there is a sense of paragraph feedback, and if you press the scroll wheel, you will switch to silent mode; all operations will also display images synchronously in the AinMe Matrix area on the right!

The new peripherals promoted by ROG this year have been greatly upgraded. It happens that the 13th-generation U and 40-series graphics cards are together. , full of sense of technology, many places to customize, players can order something with personal characteristics, if the budget is okay, like lighting effects, like complete sets of peripherals, like big brands, and feel that after-sales are guaranteed! The keyboard of ROG Yaoguang 2 Magic is available for purchase.
