The introduction of office computer keyboardThe introduction of the new keyboard was one of the most controversial topics in office history. The first generation of ...

Recently, Black Canyon launched an entry-level mechanical keyboard I3. From the promotional content, we can see that this keyboard has too many selling points, such as aluminum shell, RGB lighting effect, Kaihua scenery fast switch, PBT keycap, hot-swappable, the most important thing is that this keyboard can be bought for only 200 yuan . Can I bear it or can't bear it? I've bought more than a dozen mechanical keyboards, and I'm not short of two hundred yuan. I want to see how sacred the Black Canyon I3 is. This configuration can actually make money if it sells for two hundred yuan?

The Black Canyon I3 I bought uses an 87-key arrangement, which is generally enough for me. On the packaging, this mechanical keyboard still looks good, and the first impression is good.

In terms of accessories, the cap puller, shaft puller, data cable and keyboard body are all complete, which is convenient for later replacement. And the keyboard adopts a design with separated key lines, which is relatively convenient to move and store.

From the appearance point of view, the Black Canyon I3 I chose uses an 87-key arrangement. The overall coordination of the keyboard is still good. After simplifying the number area, the overall footprint is smaller.

After getting started, I definitely want to try this mechanical keyboard. I tapped each key, and I feel that the overall texture of the keyboard is still good, and the keycaps are relatively comfortable.

The font on the keycap is also very clear, and the texture is also very good.

The details of every corner and corner are also handled very well. From the front, there is basically not much to complain about.

From this angle, we can see that the Black Canyon I3 uses CSA height keycaps. As an uncommon keycap height, CSA height is characterized by a smooth transition between the various areas of the keycap, and the distance between the keycap and the keycap is smaller than the OEM height, and the shape of the keycap is somewhat close to a rounded rectangle. The keycap wall does not have such a large angle, and the touch area of ​​the fingertips is relatively comfortable.

From the front, you can see that the main part of the bottom shell of the Black Canyon I3 is made of aluminum alloy. A 200-yuan mechanical keyboard now uses an aluminum shell. I don’t know that the mechanical keyboard market is so rolled up now. .

From this angle, it can be seen that the bottom shell of the Black Canyon is made of aluminum alloy + high-strength material frame. The combination of the two materials does not feel inconsistent, and the overall texture is also relatively prominent.

Let's take a look at the bottom of the keyboard, a whole piece of aluminum alloy bottom shell, plus four feet, does not support the height adjustment of the keyboard.

In order to find out, I decided to disassemble this 200-yuan aluminum shell mechanical keyboard to understand the internal structure and workmanship, and see if this mechanical keyboard has cut corners in such a cost-effective situation. Prepare the hat puller, key puller and electric screws, and we will start disassembling immediately.

When removing the keycaps, I personally feel that it is very tight, and the connection between the keycaps and the shaft body is very tight. When removing some keyboard keycaps, I can directly remove the keycaps of many keyboards by hand. However, the removal of the keycap of the Black Canyon I3 really requires the use of a cap puller, and it takes a little bit of strength to remove it.

The Black Canyon I3 uses PBT keycaps, which are very good in terms of durability and comfort. It is not easy to oil up in summer or for a long time. Compared with ABS keycaps, the cost is relatively higher.

Judging from the large keycaps, the overall workmanship and details are very good, the coloring is even and natural.

The inside of the keycap is designed with reinforcing ribs, and there are no burrs or unevenness. At first glance, it looks like the workmanship of a big factory, and the craftsmanship is unambiguous.

Next, I'll remove the shaft. In terms of the switch body, the version I chose is equipped with the Cangling fast switch in the Kaihua scenery fast switch. After all, I still prefer the feel of this paragraph.

I won't say much about the shaft body. Kaihua's quality and feel have been tested by the market for a long time, and those who have used it will definitely know it. Judging from the official news, Kaihua scenery fast switch is also first released on the Black Canyon I series mechanical keyboard, which also proves that Kaihua has a strong interest in and strong confidence in the Black Canyon I series products.

On the large key position, the Black Canyon I3 uses a satellite switch. Compared with the balance switch, the feel and feedback of the satellite switch are more accurate and comfortable.

Carefully observe the lower part of the satellite axis, we can see that each satellite axis has traces of factory lubrication.

After reading the relatively easy-to-disassemble keycaps and shafts, we are going to take a look at the internal structure of the Black Canyon I3. To be honest, I am still looking forward to it. After all, in the parts that have been seen, there is still no Black Canyon Let me down.

The difference from the mechanical keyboard I usually disassemble is that the Black Canyon I3 adopts a flat-push installation method. Since the keyboard PCB board and positioning board are closely engaged with the bottom case, it takes a little while to extract it. Add some force, and at the same time, go a little slower.

When removing the PCB board, it should be noted that there is a flying lead connecting the PCB board and the bottom case on the left side of the keyboard, which should be an anti-static measure.

First of all, let's look at the aluminum alloy bottom shell. I weighed it and it is very solid. The bottom shell of the Black Canyon I3 is made of aluminum extrusion technology, which is integrally formed. It is not just a thin layer as many friends imagine. From this angle, we can see a few reinforcing ribs, and the overall strength of the bottom shell is very high. Moreover, the surface of this aluminum shell adopts a sandblasting and anodizing process, which is relatively more durable and reliable.

As the core of the mechanical keyboard, the workmanship of the Black Canyon I3's PCB board should not be too faulty, and it is completely manufactured by a large factory. If you observe carefully, you will find that the solder joints are very full at all soldering points, which can effectively avoid the failure of keys due to weak soldering and desoldering.

Look at the PCB board. Judging from the holes, this board supports pentapods and tripods. Most of the shafts on the market can be adapted, and the playability is also very good. There is also a shockproof cushion in the area of ​​the indicator light, and there are details everywhere.

Looking at the details, there are many such buckles between the silicone cushion in the middle of the Black Canyon I3 and the positioning plate, plus the screws on the PCB board, I personally think these treatments are very mature.

The thickness of the silicone cushion of the Black Canyon I3 is good, which can not only reduce the vibration caused by input, but also effectively reduce the keyboard noise.

On the underlayment of the Black Canyon I3, we have seen a lot of positioning card shafts like this, which can ensure that the position of the underlayment is relatively stable and improve the stability and reliability of the keyboard. Some mechanical keyboards I have used before, because there is no positioning card shaft limit, the cushion is always easy to shift.

Let’s take a look at the positioning plate. It is generally hard and a bit thick, so it feels very tight when removing the keycap and shaft body, but there is no problem with the details.

It took more than half an hour to finally disassemble the Black Canyon I3, the keycap, shaft body, positioning plate, cushion, PCB, bottom case and side cover. In general, I did not find too many slots. Materials, workmanship, and details are all excellent. After all, Black Canyon is also a major manufacturer of domestic mechanical keyboards.

When the keyboard was reinstalled, I tested the RGB lighting effect a little bit. From the effect point of view, this keyboard supports very rich lighting effects, and also supports the adjustment of different brightness and different rhythms. It is still very rich in functions.

However, the Black Canyon I3 keycap adopts a design with not very good light transmission, so the light transmission of the keycap is relatively poor, and there will be some discounts in the performance of RGB lighting effects.

In terms of comprehensive use and dismantling, the Black Canyon I3 is definitely the most cost-effective ceiling-level product among the entry-level mechanical keyboards I have used recently. First of all, in terms of functions and configurations, needless to say, the streamlined and practical 87-key arrangement, Kaihua scenery fast and fast switches, aluminum alloy body, RGB lighting effects, PBT keycaps and full-key hot-swappable, the most important The price is only in the early 200s, which gives those who want to buy a mechanical keyboard and don’t want to spend too much to choose from. After all, this Black Canyon I3 has the basic functions of most mechanical keyboards.

As the focus of another part, judging from my dismantling of this Black Canyon I3, this keyboard has no slack at all in terms of accessories, material selection, functional design and layout, and detail processing. Efforts are made to pursue the ultimate experience of mechanical keyboards at this price. Therefore, I am very happy to recommend this keyboard to those who want to experience a mechanical keyboard and want to start an entry-level mechanical keyboard.

I have played a lot of mechanical keyboards, so I can't be said to be a player, but I have seen the world. Most mechanical keyboards are almost the same, giving people the feeling of being too old-fashioned and lifeless. Since the shaft body is a few well-known ones such as Chrery, Kaihua, and Jiadalong, the so-called customization is nothing more than making a fuss about keycaps, shell materials, such as aluminum and other non-plastic materials, keycap design, etc., and we Ordinary friends are actually just experiencing keycaps with different designs.

In order to cater to today's younger market, Dujia recently launched a very fashionable and novel Hi Keys dual-mode wireless mechanical keyboard. In terms of layout, Dujia Hi Keys chose a compact 84-key arrangement, cutting off the numeric keypad area, making it easier to carry.

Duga Hi Keys has two wireless connection methods, Bluetooth and 2.4G, which can be connected to 3 devices. There is an indium-plated knob on the top left side of the keyboard, and the rotary switch can be freely switched between Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2 and 2.4G . This way, everyday desktops, laptops, iPads, or other devices can share a single keyboard without having to reconnect every time you change devices.

Compared with the traditional keycaps with concave design that fits the fingertips, this Hi Keys is the opposite, presenting a slightly raised curved surface, which is somewhat similar to the fluffy shape of bread, giving people a new input Experience, so that when you first get in touch with this new keyboard, you may accidentally touch it when typing quickly. However, after using it for a few days, I almost got used to it. The raised design is actually more in line with the ergonomic curve. It saves the step of pressing the wrist and lifting the code word, which will save more effort.

In terms of operation, although Dujia Hi Keys is 84-bit, it also designs many convenient shortcut keys, such as pressing FN+F10 to mute the volume with one key, and FN+F11 and F12 to increase or decrease the volume without sliding the mouse to click.

In addition, this keyboard has a backlight mode, which can be switched by the bright silver ball on the left side of the keyboard. Although there is only one kind of white light, there are 8 lighting effect modes to choose from, such as constant light, wave, breathing, starry, and ripple, and the brightness can be adjusted to meet the individual needs of different users. Individuals far away will basically not turn on the backlight mode in daily life, which will save more power.

In terms of battery life, Duga Hi Keys has a built-in lithium battery. When the backlight is turned off, the battery life in Bluetooth mode can last up to 360 days. In 2.4G mode, it can also be used for about 200 days. It can be said to be very powerful; when the backlight mode is turned on, It can be used for up to 90 days, depending on personal usage. It should be noted that if the keyboard is not used for a long time, it is best to charge and maintain the battery regularly.

As for the switch body, Dujia Hi Keys uses Kaihua’s new Turbo switch body. Although it is a domestic switch body, the user’s evaluation is still good. The large keys such as space and Enter are also designed with satellite switches, which is more stable. Yuanfang chose the silent red switch this time. Earlier, I liked the crackling sound of the code words on the green switch, but now I gradually like the lighter and quieter red switch, which makes it easier to concentrate. Thanks to its raised keycap design, Durga Hi Keys has a shorter stroke, faster triggering, and a very low sound, which is very suitable for people who like to be quiet.

As a relatively unique new product, the performance of Dujia Hi Keys wireless mechanical keyboard is still remarkable. The overall design is simple and pleasing to the eye, highly recognizable, and the wireless connection method and 84-bit array are very good in reducing the occupied space. There is also a long battery life of up to 1 year and a variety of backlight modes with lighting effects, which greatly improve the user experience. Of course, it is a pity that it does not support hot swapping, but it is also flawed.

I am used to mechanical keyboards, and I will never go back to membrane keyboards again! The mechanical keyboard feels comfortable, easy to code and has a longer service life. And most mechanical keyboards can achieve full-key conflict-free, which is not easy to cause accidental touches, especially when playing games, this is very important!

Some time ago, it happened that the membrane keyboard equipped with the unit was broken, so I bought this Durga K310 wired mechanical keyboard at my own expense.

Due to the needs of daily work, it is often necessary to deal with numbers and calculate the amount of the project, so the full keyboard is the best office partner! In terms of layout, the Duga K310 series are all 104 full keyboards. In terms of color, there are three options: space gray, light fog blue, and natural white. In terms of lighting, there are no light, white light limited edition, and RGB to choose from.

Because it is used in the unit, the color can be low-key, and there is no need to move it frequently, so I bought the K310 deep space gray matte wired mechanical keyboard, and the connection is more stable!

This keyboard is designed with an ultra-narrow bezel, which highlights the line beauty of the keycap! The body shell is made of plastic material, and the keyboard panel is made of carefully adjusted metal matte texture paint layer, with a dark gray appearance, which looks full of texture.

The keyboard adopts a semi-suspended frame design, and the inside of the keyboard is not easy to accumulate dust, which is convenient for daily care! The entire keyboard does not have an overly fancy design, only the iconic LOGO design of Dujia in the lower right corner. The color matching of the keyboard is dark gray and silver, which is suitable for placing in the office environment, simple and low-key!

In terms of keycap material, PBT material is used, which is more comfortable than ABS, has better wear resistance, and does not slip! The keycap font adopts two-color injection molding process, closed character design, and the details are well expressed!

In terms of the height of the keycaps, the OEM height stepped keycaps are used, and the built-in stable key shaft steel plate is used to ensure more stability when typing on the keyboard and a more comfortable hand feeling!

Because it is used in the unit, in terms of switch body selection, I chose the CHERRY German cherry red switch with a relatively low key sound. The red axis feels straight up and down, without a sense of paragraphs, and the feel is softer, and the buttons are easier to press, which is very suitable for white-collar workers who have long-term office codes. In addition, the height of the original factory conforms to the ergonomic design, and long-term use will not cause wrist soreness.

In terms of large keys, the satellite shaft that has been tested and tuned is used, which is more stable than the balance shaft and feels more comfortable!

The keyboard supports full-key conflict-free design, which is very important when playing games. Say goodbye to the troubles caused by key conflicts and enjoy the thrilling experience brought by the game! At work, there is no need to worry about accidental touches caused by operating various combinations of keys together.

Keyboard back design:

Two-stage foot support design on both sides supports multi-angle adjustment. The four corners of the keyboard are designed with non-slip pads.

The cable management groove above the keyboard adopts three different angles: left, right, and front, which are convenient for the storage of data cables and ensure a cleaner desktop.

In terms of the link method, I bought a wired single-mode keyboard, which uses a key-line separation design and a Type-C interface. In order to meet the needs of different users, two data cables are included in the standard configuration, Type-C to Type-C data cable and USB to Type-C data cable.

In practical applications, although it is a single-mode mechanical keyboard, the application scenarios are also very rich.

Figure 1: Unit workstations to complete daily work codeword requirements. The sound of the red axis button is also small, which will not affect other colleagues. The feel is also very light and comfortable, and it can be triggered by pressing lightly, and you will not feel tired after coding all day.

Figure 2: In the meeting room of the unit, connect the Hiteco touch all-in-one machine, and the meeting + recording can be easily done!

Figure 3: Connecting the United Innovation 15Q1F portable display at home + zero moment SER5 Pro 5800H small host, it can be assembled into a temporary office area! Easily solve the work temporarily assigned by the leader at home! It can also be used as a game experience area. After the children are asleep at night, they can experience the pleasure and relaxation brought by the game!

Finally, let's summarize:

Dujia K310 series has been on the market for 7 years since it was launched in 2015! The reason why it is still on sale for 7 years is that it is deeply loved by consumers in terms of quality, performance, and feel, and has accumulated a large number of loyal fans of users!

And the Duga K310 wired mechanical keyboard I bought this time: the full keyboard meets various needs of office codes, the PBT keycaps have good wear resistance, the cherry red axis codes are comfortable and light, and the wired connection is stable. Overall, it is very suitable Office use needs!
