Among the many domestic peripheral brands, Dujia can be regarded as a rising star. In the early days, its keyboard model was relatively single. Since the launch of Fusion, it has been recognized by the majority of players, and it has launched the more popular K330. Since then, the products have followed the mainstream of the market, and customized elements such as hot-swappable, customized shafts, sandwich cotton, and silicone pads have also been applied to the products one by one. Recently, Durga has launched a new K610W/K620W, with a unique design language, three connection modes, and a long 360-day battery life, which makes people want to take a look.

Durga's consistent naming style is that the larger the number, the fewer keys, so I am not surprised that K620W has an 87-key arrangement, while K610W has a 104-key arrangement. This time, two theme colors, the dark "Island" and the light "Echo", were launched simultaneously. My one is the K620W Island.

Although my keyboard is not an official big product, the only difference between the keyboard and the official product is that the bottom case lacks the nameplate sticker. The current accessories are shown in the picture above: dust cover, TYPE-C port data cable, key puller, shaft puller, TYPE-C and USB adapter, and three supplementary keycaps for Mac systems.

The adapter can be combined with the data cable to form a USB extension cable, so that the 2.4G receiver can be as close as possible to the keyboard, so as to avoid interference and cause high wireless delay, which is very suitable for some scenarios with high interference in the wireless environment.

The "Island" color scheme uses a multi-color scheme of dark gray, green gray, dark green and white. ESC, Enter and the space bar are white, and all characters are also white, which is low-key and calm with a touch of liveliness.

The appearance of the keyboard is a laminated structure similar to a sandwich. The dark gray middle frame is sandwiched between the dark gray bottom case and panel, and the overall recognition is very high.

The keyboard shell has a more obvious matte texture, the surface is very delicate, and the "DURGOD" brand logo is printed on the front side.

The distance between different areas of the keyboard is relatively short, making it relatively compact, with a size of about 359x142x37.5mm and a weight of about 1 kg.

There are four indicator lights above the direction area, three of which take into account two function indicators, and the fourth is a charging indicator.

From the side of the keyboard, it can be seen that the thickness of the middle interlayer is almost the same, and the bottom shell has a very obvious retraction design, so the keyboard looks very light and thin.

Equipped with a set of PBT two-color keycaps with the height of the original factory, it adopts closed character technology and is opaque. The graininess on the surface is not particularly strong, the overall is finer and more comfortable to the touch. The outer side of the space bar is also specially treated with arc chamfering. This design is quite user-friendly.

The details of the keycaps are also handled in place, there are no obvious burrs, and there is no obvious deformation of the large keys, and the overall quality is quite high.

The TYPE-C socket and power switch of the keyboard are set behind the Esc key. It is worth mentioning that this keyboard will automatically recognize the Win/Mac system without manual switching, which is very smart and worry-free.

The large key position uses the mainstream satellite shaft solution, and you can see that there are obvious traces of grease inside the satellite shaft seat. The consistency of the hand feel is not bad, but occasionally there will be a slight steel wire sound. Fortunately, the hot-swappable keyboard is easy to disassemble and assemble. Theists can effectively solve it with a simple adjustment.

The shaft body is a crystal shaft series customized by Dujia to Jiadalong. It belongs to the CAP shaft series. It is technically optimized on the basis of the Cap shaft. It comes with factory lubrication and feels more comfortable. My switch is a tea switch, which belongs to the weak section of the switch body. The trigger pressure is 55 grams, the trigger stroke is 2mm, the total stroke is 4mm, and the theoretical life span is 80 million times.

The keyboard adopts a full-key hot-swappable solution, which is compatible with most tripod switches and five-pin switches on the market, but the PCB board does not have lamp beads and reserved lamp positions.

The popular sandwich silicone pad and bottom sound-absorbing cotton are added to the interior of the keyboard to reduce and eliminate the cavity sound and noise generated when the keys are tapped.

There is an obvious height difference between the front and back of the keyboard bottom case, which makes the keyboard have a small angle of inclination. The middle part is the English Logo of Dujia, and there is a non-slip sticker at each of the four corners. Although the area is small, the anti-slip effect is not bad.

The two-stage foot support can provide players with more inclination options.

In order not to affect the overall appearance of the bottom case, a hidden wireless receiver storage compartment is specially designed, which can be considered painstaking.

The driver is mainly for the setting of button customization, and the macro setting is also very simple, so I won’t go into details.

Both K610W/K620W provide three connection modes: wired, Bluetooth 5.0, and 2.4G wireless, and all three modes support full-key no punching. Among domestic peripheral brands, Dujia's wireless solutions have always been excellent representatives. With low latency and strong anti-interference, the experience of 2.4G mode is almost the same as that of wired mode.

According to the official data, after the keyboard is fully charged, it can last up to 200 days in 2.4G wireless mode with an average of 8 hours of continuous work per day; the battery life in Bluetooth mode can reach an extra long 360 days. The battery capacity is temporarily unknown, but the official tip is to use a 5V2A charger, which can be fully charged in only 3 hours. The simplicity of this battery life is terrible, and it can directly make you forget about charging.

In general, the Dujia K620W three-mode wireless mechanical keyboard has concentrated the current mainstream popular elements: three-mode connection, hot-swappable, silicone sandwich and sound-absorbing bottom cotton, etc. Automatic recognition of Win/Mac system, and ultra-high battery life, etc., may become the industry benchmark that various brands will compete to imitate in the future. Dujia's own positioning of these two keyboards is "born for wireless", and the internal circuit structure has been specially optimized. Through various efforts, such an exaggerated battery life was finally obtained. Of course, the lack of lighting modules is somewhat a pity, but the overall flaws are not concealed. I look forward to more types of switches to choose from in the future, and hope that this ultra-high battery life technology can be equipped on more different keyboard models.

For the use of the keyboard, I generally don’t use it to play games. I usually use it for coding. I have played with the brown switch before, and this time I want to try the red switch, so I started with Durga DURGOD K320 matte natural white cherry. Red axis mechanical keyboard, then I will share my own experience.

The design of the outer packaging continues the tradition of Dujia as always, and I will not introduce too much here. Open the box to see the keyboard itself, the coaster, and the instruction manual.

Although Dujia presents a protective cover for the keyboard every time, I am a casual person, and I don’t pay much attention to protection when using items, so it’s a pity that such a good design. It is still very good for friends who have protective habits.

In fact, the accessories of Dujia K320 are quite rich, which also provides data cables, key pullers, and cable ties. It is worth mentioning that there are two types of data cables provided, one is type-c to type-c interface, and the other is type-c to USB. Dujia may consider that the current notebooks are thin and light. The type-c interface is adopted, and some desktops or old notebooks still have a usb interface, so the random bonus such as Dujia is considered in both cases, and can consider the experience of most people.

The Duga keyboard I chose this time is a natural white color. Everyone knows that the white color has always been very online, but some function keys are gray. The gray and white combination makes the keyboard look beautiful and elegant as a whole. lose its character.

I have also introduced the switch body before. I chose the red switch. As a person who doesn’t play games very much but climbs the grid all day long, I prefer the loud sound when typing on the keyboard. I feel, and I don't hit the keyboard very hard. Although the red switch will make a sound, I don't think it will affect others. In this way, it can be used normally without affecting others, so why not do it!

Durga K320 uses PBT double-color injection keycaps. When typing on the keyboard, you can clearly feel the matte feeling when you press your fingers. I enjoy this feeling very much. And Durga's unique satellite switch design style allows users to easily replace the keycaps, although I don't like tossing very much. However, friends who are interested can change it and experience the unique experience brought by different keycaps.

If you feel that the height of Duga K320 is not suitable for you during use, you can open the keyboard feet, and the height after opening allows me to have a use effect that just suits me.

Not only that, the type-c interface on the keyboard side can be easily inserted into the slot, and the specially designed wire groove can fix the data cable. It is not only convenient to use the wire groove according to your own needs, but also makes the desktop look It looks very neat, and the comfort level is immediately upgraded to a higher level.

Moreover, when using this keyboard, you can also customize macro commands through Dujia’s Zeus driver software. I remember that when I was in college, my roommates always complained that the keyboard could not customize macro commands when playing games. At that time, he knew that the mechanical keyboard of Dujia K320 could customize macro commands, maybe his game rank could be improved by several levels.

Summarize

The use experience of Dujia K320 is still very good. The natural white color matching looks very online. In addition, the cherry red shaft body is matched with the frosted keycap. Even if you only code words like me, you can feel that it is different from ordinary keyboards. Using Joy, you can also define macros through the Zeus software, bringing a better experience when playing games. As a programmer, using Durga K320, I feel that even writing code is still very happy.

【Preface】

Now that the configuration of mechanical keyboards is becoming more and more abundant, so far the choices given to us are really dazzling, so it is difficult to choose a keyboard that suits you. As a person who likes to write freely, every day Codeword recording experience is an indispensable hobby, so it is very necessary to have a handy keyboard. A good keyboard is not only more handy in terms of experience, but also can improve personal coding efficiency. Personally, I like metal-textured devices very much. The feeling of touching the metal with my fingers cannot be replaced by anything. After many searches, I finally bought this Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard.

[unpacking]

The color of Rapoo’s product packaging box is still the same as before, mainly black and blue. The central position is the top view rendering of the keyboard. At the same time, there is a logo "multi-template" on the left side of the rendering, which is marked on the top of the rendering The shaft body of the keyboard is shown, so that users have a general understanding of the appearance of the product and the key shaft. The upper left corner of the box is the brand LOGO of Rapoo, and the right side of the box is the eye-catching model logo. , Korean four languages ​​explain the general function name of the product.

On the back and side, four languages ​​are also used to briefly introduce the product features of the keyboard: multi-mode connection, full key without punching, full mechanical quick response, multi-device intelligent switching, built-in lithium battery, adjustable backlight system, etc.

产品配件方面很常规：雷柏V700-8A键盘、一张说明书、一个塑料拔键器、一根Type-C接口数据线&充电线以及一个2.4G无线接收器。

【Function parameters and user experience】

Rapoo V700-8A is a three-mode wireless mechanical keyboard with an 84-key compact key layout that adopts 75% arrangement. It has three color schemes, namely: no man's land version, lonely brave version and mecha purple version. The keyboard in my hand is the No Man’s Land version. It weighs about 790g, and it still has a certain sense of weight in my hand. This weight is also in line with the metal texture I want.

The keyboard adopts a floating narrow frame design. They all use CNC-cut aluminum alloy frame, rounded corners and a beveled top design, which not only makes it have a more simple shape, but also makes it easier to clean in daily use. , the overall performance is more advanced, and the Rapoo translucent logo on the left front can also better increase the recognition, and can also provide a convenient charging indicator function. We can set this logo light to the style we want on the driver software. .

The bottom design of the Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard is very simple. There is only one power switch key. The four corners of the bottom are provided with non-slip foot pads, which allow us to ensure that it is stable and not easy to slide on the desktop of different materials. The upper left corner There are two one-piece supports in the upper right corner and the upper right corner to meet the player's needs for different input angles, and there are also anti-skid pads under the supports. Here I found a small problem, that is, the 2.4G receiver does not have a storage compartment on the keyboard. It would be more practical to design a storage compartment for the 2.4G receiver.

The Rapoo V700-8A keycap is made of ABS plastic, and the keycap adopts a two-color injection molding process, which has uniform light transmission and anti-fading. Fingers and keycaps stick together, making it clean and comfortable during gaming.

Rapoo V700-8A is equipped with Rapoo's own game switch, and there are four kinds of switches in black, green, tea and red. The switch has a service life of 60 million times. The trigger stroke is 2.2±0.6mm, and the trigger pressure is 50±15cN. Because it is a vertical linear shaft, it is refreshing, crisp and melodious when struck, and has a strong sense of paragraph, which is very suitable for writers.

The Pennefather V700-8A mechanical keyboard has a white backlight, and has 7 lighting effects and 4 levels of adjustable backlight brightness. We can set the backlight mode through the exclusive driver software under a wired connection, or directly through the keyboard. The operation method is to switch the lighting effect through Fn + right ctrl key, and to adjust the brightness of the light and the breathing rate of the light through the Fn + direction key.

Through the driver software, we can customize macro settings for all 84 keys, which can meet the key position requirements of players for different games. When setting keys, we can not only set them individually, but also support combination keys, macro commands, function commands or disable key settings.

The Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard supports wired connection and wireless connection. The wireless connection can be connected through 2.4G wireless receiver and Bluetooth connection. It can support up to 5 devices to connect and switch. Can be switched quickly.

For wireless devices, the most important thing is the battery life. The Rapoo V700-8A keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery, which can provide 25-225 hours of continuous use after being fully charged, and the charging is fast and convenient Type-C charging port, we can directly use the wired mode when there is no power, and can charge while playing without worrying about battery life.

【Summarize】

Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard is a 75% keyboard that supports multi-mode connection. The body is simple, compact and practical, and it has four optional shafts of black, green, tea and red, and all 84 keys can be customized Macro settings can satisfy all kinds of people. The most important point is that the price is very affordable. The official price is 299 yuan.

Really, I found a very strange phenomenon, that is, when building a computer, many people like to invest in things like CPU/graphics card, even chassis and fans. In recent years, I have also started to spend a lot of money to invest. Few people say that when the machine is installed for the first time, it should be equipped with a mechanical keyboard. up. As everyone knows, you spent thousands or even tens of thousands of computers on the computer, and it was completely ruined on the 9.9 garbage keyboard. The computer would run very smoothly, but a garbage keyboard completely ruined the feel.

Recently, it is also affected by the general environment. Many people are working from home, and the children are also taking online classes at home. I just want to get a monitor, a keyboard, and even an old computer. I just bought a Heijue mechanical keyboard, which is not expensive, more than 300, but I really don’t think it feels so good. I used to be superstitious that a membrane keyboard is enough for office use. In fact, I was really wrong.

The biggest difference is that, for example, this Heijue AK873 mechanical keyboard is different from ordinary keyboards in the keycap part. It uses PBT single-sided thermal sublimation process, the height of MDA, and the edge of the keycap is rounded. Therefore, it is also very comfortable to use for a long time, and it will not be oily, unlike ordinary keyboards, which are shiny after a long time of use, very ugly, and have a poor hand feel.

In addition, in terms of the axis body, for the Heijue AK873, there are two types of Shanlan axis and Bi Luo axis. I use the Shanlan axis. This axis belongs to the linear axis. People think that mechanical keyboards are noisy, but this is not true. If you choose the right switch body, the experience is completely different. The Heijue Shanlan switch has a trigger pressure of 45±10g, a trigger stroke of 2mm, and a total stroke of 4mm. It is very comfortable, especially suitable for daily office coding. Of course, it is also suitable for playing games. However, if you really like playing games and are not afraid of disturbing your family, I still think it is more appropriate to buy a green switch.

What’s interesting is that this keyboard also supports full-key hot-swapping. Friends who have just entered the pit of mechanical keyboards may not know this term very well. Simply put, it means whether you want to use green switches, red switches, or others in the future. For any shaft, you can directly use the attached shaft puller to pull out the original shaft and replace it with a new shaft, which is very powerful.

In addition, this is a multi-mode keyboard. In addition to supporting wired, it also supports wireless 2.4G and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connections. The keyboard has a built-in 2500mAh battery, which can last up to 40 days, which is not bad. The main reason is that it also has a beautiful backlight, which is a plus for RGB lovers, but I don't care about the backlight.

Now, I am very used to the feel of using a mechanical keyboard. If I go back to using a membrane keyboard, it is difficult for me to adapt. However, the mechanical keyboard also has disadvantages, that is, the key position is too high for me, it would be nice if I gave it a hand rest. This one comes with a dust cover, a key puller, a replacement shaft, and an additional Mac keycap.

Due to work needs, business trips have become commonplace. I am used to mechanical keyboards, but I no longer like the feel of ordinary keyboards. Carrying a heavy mechanical keyboard every day has become a commuting burden. In addition, the company promised to provide a brand new Apple ecology, so a keyboard that is thin and light, has a stable feel, and can support multi-system switching was put on my agenda, and I finally won it.
Keychron K3 Pro
。

I first met Keychron on YouTube. Although this is a domestic keyboard brand, Keychron is quite popular among overseas players. Some time ago, The Verge, an authoritative overseas technology media, rated Keychron’s keyboard as the best mechanical keyboard in 2022. It can be seen that keychron's influence among foreign players. Many of keychron’s keyboards have hot-swappable and QMK/VIA options, and the color scheme is relatively low-key, giving it the feeling of a thug in a suit. It is a very friendly brand for entry-level customization. Moreover, the Keychron series keyboard is recognized as one of the best keyboards for Apple systems in the key circle, so there is no hesitation when seeing the new Keychron K3 Pro.

The packaging of keychron K3 pro is still very novel, black paper casing with laser fonts, very cool, the main picture is the keyboard, with three keyboard features on the left and right, the left one supports QMK/VIA/Bluetooth, and the right one is hot-swappable/two-color injection molding Keycap/body and other information, what can be explained is relatively clear.

The packaging of the whole product is relatively compact, and the keyboard is well fixed by the foam partition to avoid damage to the keyboard caused by artificial bumps during the logistics process. I am personally very satisfied with the overall space utilization and packaging design, which is very regular .

keychron K3 pro is a keyboard with 75% configuration, independent F area, number area and function keys, which is very convenient to use and greatly improves the convenience of operation.

The red contrasting color keycaps of the Esc key and the confirmation key also give the dark keyboard a touch of bright color, making the whole keyboard calm and energetic, but overall it is still a relatively stable style, very versatile, customized core and coquettish The RGB lights are perfectly hidden.

The thickest part of this keyboard is only 21.5mm at the top, so the thinness is the most eye-catching part of this keyboard. The newly upgraded Jiadalong 2.0 short shaft and the integral stamping and injection molding aluminum top cover not only ensure the strength The overall thickness of the keyboard is also reduced, and the entire keyboard is really lightweight.

keychron K3 pro is still a dual-mode keyboard, which supports wired connection and Bluetooth connection, and supports WIN/IOS system at the same time. These switches are located on the upper left side of the keyboard, which can be operated blindly with one hand. Interface for wired connection and charging.

As one of the best MAC keyboards, the most convenient design of MAC keyboards is the preset shortcut keys for various functions. keychron K3 pro retains these function keys, and also prints the icons directly on the keycaps, so that it can be used in dual systems. There is no need to worry about it, it is extremely convenient.

The two-stage foot support can meet the needs of different groups of people, and switching it occasionally greatly reduces the pressure on the wrist for a long time at the desk.

The short shaft body has always been the biggest feature. The keychron K3 pro has been upgraded to the version 2.0 of the keychron short switch. In terms of height, the height of the short switch is much shorter than that of the ordinary switch. The keystroke is only 3mm, and the operating force is 50±15gf. It matches the keyboard 6- The 9° tilt adjustment and placement make the instant release of the red switch easy, with low noise and no sense of paragraph, and the feeling of Q bombs is good.

The 2.0 version increases the stroke and improves the feeling of pressing. It has improved the phenomenon of premature bottoming of the short axis in the past. The keycaps are made of LSA height, PBT material two-color injection molding process keycaps, the PBT content ≥ 40% produced by a major manufacturer, this ratio can ensure that the keycaps are more wear-resistant and not easy to oil. With the ergonomically designed feet of the keychron K3 pro, the entire keyboard looks like a ladder from the side. The biggest advantage of the short shaft is that the height that the fingers and wrists need to lift when typing is much lower than the normal shaft body, which can greatly reduce the fatigue of the fingers and wrists.

Keychron K3 Pro adopts the steel plate satellite shaft design this time, so that the satellite shaft and the shaft body are kept at the same level, thereby reducing the swing of the large key. The lubrication provided by the satellite shaft is also sufficient, and the lubricating oil of the naked eye courseware.

Keychron K3 Pro also launched a hot-swappable version this time. You can change different shafts according to your mood, but you should pay attention to that the hole position of the short shaft is different from that of the standard shaft.

Keychron K3 Pro adopts an independent light control key, which can directly switch 22 different RGB light effects with one key. It can be done with one key in the upper right corner, without complex key combination.

The 1550mah capacity battery also guarantees a certain endurance, and it can work for 33 hours on standby after 4 hours of charging. Keychron K3 Pro can also directly adjust the saturation and hue of RGB colors through the combination of function keys, which greatly increases the playability of Keychron K3 Pro lighting effects.

Because the keycaps are not high-transparent, the lighting effect is a little bit poor, but this keyboard is still thin and light, and RGB can only be regarded as a plus for me.

If changing shafts and changing keycaps is only at the hardware level, then the support of QMK/VIA means that Keychron K3 Pro has entered customization at the software level. One of the meanings of customization is to create the most suitable Keyboard, in addition to the hardware selection of various kits, the software aspect is the absolute control of each key, QMK/VIA can intuitively remap the favorite keys and use any key on any operating system (macOS, Windows or Linux) (including Knob) to create a macro, the main focus is to go around the world with one keyboard. With the support of QMKVIA firmware, you can completely customize a mechanical keyboard that you customize yourself. The specific gameplay depends entirely on your imagination. This driver is as powerful as it is. Finally, they support web page key change, and the experience is very good.

The short axis that I first came into contact with should be SteelSeries APEX M800. The QS1 linear axis at that time seems to be the tears of the times. Now the low axis of keychron K3 pro has made great progress in terms of texture and craftsmanship.

The features of keychron K3 pro are very distinctive. If you need to switch back and forth between WIN and macOS, then Keychron's keyboard is a good choice due to its good adaptability. The entire keyboard is made of solid materials, and the weight is well controlled. Coupled with the same key layout as a notebook, it is definitely not a fake product when you go out, it is a pure productivity tool.
