The frame of the fuselage is moderate in width, whether it is a compact design of small size or a standard 108 arrangement, the line processing is simple and clean, so that this series of keyboards can well combine retro elements and modern designs, and it is more in line with the aesthetics of current users Likes, it is still very pleasing to the user's attention.

Since the Y2 adopts a compact layout with a small size, the status indicator is moved to the upper left corner. The three status indicators are designed in the shape of a smiling face, which has a good performance in terms of recognition and practicality. The Y3 and Y5 keyboards design the indicator lights above the direction keys, and provide four status indicators designed with smiley faces.

The receiver adopts a dual-interface design and provides two types of interfaces, USB-A and USB-C, which are convenient for adapting to different devices and interfaces. The storage slot also allows users to place the receiver more easily to avoid loss. The bottom four corners of the keyboard also provide long strips of non-slip foot pads, which can make the keyboard have a better stable performance on different material surfaces without sliding or displacement.

Black Canyon Y series three-mode hot-swappable keyboards are equipped with a large magnetic palm rest with the same design style as the keyboard. The surface of the palm rest is also added with a skin-like coating, which is delicate and comfortable to the touch. It can provide sufficient support for the user’s wrist and reduce the The wrist soreness caused by long-term use is still very helpful for improving the comfort of use. The magnetic hand rest is very convenient to install and disassemble, and there are multiple anti-skid pads at the bottom to ensure the stability of the hand rest, which is very thoughtful and considerate.

Keycap & Shaft:

The Black Canyon Y series three-mode hot-swappable keyboard is equipped with a landscape switch jointly customized with Kaihua. It is based on the BOX V2 switch and is named Danxia switch, Cangling switch, and Yanmo switch respectively. Deep sea switches will also be provided in the future. In versions such as silent V2 axis and Yelan axis, the choice of axis body is still very rich. The Danxia switch, Cangling switch, and Yanmo switch respectively adopt the linear feel, the sound-intensive segment feel, and the advanced segment feel, which fit the current user preferences very well. Danxia axis adopts 45gf trigger pressure, 3.6mm total stroke, 1.3mm trigger stroke; Cangling axis adopts 50gf trigger pressure, 3.6mm total stroke, 1.8mm trigger stroke; Yanmo axis trigger pressure 40gf, total stroke 3.6mm, trigger stroke 2.3mm. All three shafts adopt BOX structure with colorful appearance, and adopt the design of light guide column, and the internal spring is also upgraded to a long spring, which makes the feedback more clear. The lifespan of about 100 million clicks can also allow users to use it with confidence, without worrying about double-clicking, failures and other issues.

The Danxia axis feels linear and smooth, and the force is evenly controlled. It is very brisk to press, and the moderate bottoming pressure and rebound force can also bring users a good percussion feel. The Cangling axis is used as an audio paragraph axis. The paragraph feels clear, the sound is crisp and bright, the pressing response and rebound performance are very good, and it also has a good smoothness. The feel of the Yanmo switch is similar to that of the BOX V2 tea switch, with a slightly stronger sense of step, rebounding with the hand, and stable bottoming, which can also bring users a different feel experience. The large key position adopts the satellite axis scheme, the handle is clean and neat, the vibration and noise control is also relatively good, and the adjustment level is still very good. However, some large keys on the Danxia switch feel slightly worse, and there is also a more obvious rustling sound, and the quality control part still needs to be strengthened.

The whole series of Y series keyboards adopt the Gasket structure customized by Black Canyon, the high-gloss transparent PC positioning board, the whole piece of silicone pad and silicone sandwich, and the structural parts are tightly connected, which further improves the firmness of the hand feeling. Loose, although the overall bias is towards a harder Gasket structure, but the feel is still very good. The double-layer silicone sound-absorbing structure can also filter out the noise and cavity sound during knocking, which greatly improves the knocking experience. The keyboard is also equipped with a shaft hot-swappable solution, using Kaihua shaft seat, and the life reliability is very good. The hole positions are compatible with mainstream tripod and pentapod switches, and users can easily replace their favorite switches for use, and it also has better performance in terms of keyboard playability and fun.

It is lower than the conventional SA height, and the slope is also larger, and the wrapping feeling for the fingertips is more obvious. The keycaps are made of PBT material and two-color injection molding process, which supports the light transmission of the characters. The light blue inner layer is used to improve the clarity of the characters. At the same time, a light blue filter is added to the light, which is especially obvious under the white backlight. . The characters on the keycaps are moderate in size and uniform in thickness, which can improve the light transmission performance after turning on the light. However, due to the problem of the shape of the keycaps and the underlying materials, the position of the characters is still somewhat uneven.

The lighting effect part supports the adjustment of brightness and dynamic speed, and also supports the adjustment of color, direction, breathing, etc., which is still very complete in terms of lighting gameplay. The overall lighting brightness is processed softly and evenly. The transparent PC positioning board also brings better performance of light transmission and uniform light. The gap between the keycaps is also completely filled with light. The desktop lighting atmosphere, or to meet the recognition of night use is very good.

Hello everyone, I am a keyboard tossing enthusiast~ Zhao Huayu.

Since I started to enter the pit of mechanical keyboards last year, I have really tossed a lot of keyboards during this time. It has to be said that the domestic brand is really YYDS, especially the various very distinctive shafts, fancy hanging cherry shafts that used to sit firmly on the altar.

This article shares with you a recently acquired mechanical keyboard, the latest K610W series from Duga. This keyboard follows the steady and elegant color matching style of the Duga series, and the mainstream three-mode connection, hot-swappable switch body/keycap, and automatic adaptation of Windows/MAC OS dual systems favored by multi-platform users are also included. Overall, it is a very distinctive mass-produced mechanical keyboard.

The K610W series has two colors, Fog Blue/Dark Green, which are officially named Echo/Island respectively. The names of the two color schemes are full of literature and art, especially the isolated island. My first impression reminds me of Hemingway's classic work "For Whom the Bell Tolls", which comes from the handed down work of the British poet John Donne. no man is an island ", the original text is as follows:

No one is an island,
alone in the sea;
Everyone is like a little piece of clay,
connected to the entire continent.
If a piece of earth is washed away by the sea,
Europe would lose a corner,
It is like a promontory,
As well as your friends and yourself.
whoever dies,
Parts of me are dying,
Because I am included in the concept of human being.
therefore,
To ask for whom the bell tolls,
death knell tolls for you
The moral of this poem is not death, but to explain human existence from different angles. At the beginning of the poem, each person is like a small piece of soil, forming the entire land, and each person does not exist independently. At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of each person or each thing. Without a part, it is not complete, which is used as a metaphor The importance of the keyboard to players is almost a whole.

▼Dark green outer carton, double-layer packaging, printed brand, model and keyboard renderings on the surface, the overall color scheme is calm and restrained, with a unique temperament.

▼Look directly at the family portrait. In addition to the keyboard body, accessories include data cables, straps, macOS replacement keycaps X 3, shaft pullers, key pullers, C to A adapters, and instructions.

▼Durga K610W adopts a classic full-size 104-key layout, and the digital area is still very convenient for daily use, especially for financial personnel. However, I am used to a compact layout, and this full-size keyboard takes up too much space on the desktop. When it comes to the layout, Dujia is still too rigid. Taking this series as an example, although there are small-sized 87-key and 61-key layouts, it does not have my favorite 100-key layout.

▼The color matching of Dujia has always been well-known in the key circle, and the color matching of the isolated island is no exception. Dark gray + dark green constitute the main color of the keyboard, the large white keys are used as color embellishments, and the border of the keyboard is pure dark green. There is not much fancy design language, but it gives people a calm and restrained texture.

▼The upper right corner of the keyboard is the indicator light. This area is covered with high-transparency acrylic sheet, and the bottom is decorated with diagonal lines. Not to mention, it is rare to see such a design. At first glance, it always looks like a piece of glass. There is a desire to dig it out.

▼Although the shell is a traditional ship shell, a lot of effort has been put into the details. The double-layer frame forms a sandwich wrap, and the layered chamfering design makes the keyboard not look too monotonous, and the overall recognition is very high.

▼The LOGO in the lower right corner is the universal design of Durga.

▼The power switch and the type-c line interface are located on the upper right of the keyboard. This layout is not considered mainstream at present, but I personally like this wiring method, which looks relatively simple.

▼The four corners on the back of the keyboard are equipped with non-slip pads. The obvious trapezoidal structure naturally forms a certain slope when placed flat. If the slope is not enough, you can dial out the supporting feet. The two-stage height can adapt to different input requirements.

▼ There is a hidden storage compartment on the back of the fuselage. The 2.4G receiver lies in this position safely. Compared with the mainstream magnetic storage, it is slightly outdated, but the security of storage is also an advantage.

▼Durga K610W supports three-mode connection (wired/Bluetooth/2.4G), but it does not provide physical switching buttons, but switches through shortcut keys. Convenience is convenience, but the physical switch is more intuitive to use.

▼Original height PBT keycaps, taking into account the feel and durability. The front characters adopt a two-color closed-mouth process. There is nothing to worry about in terms of quality control. After all, it is also a major keyboard manufacturer. There is nothing to be picky about the clarity of fonts, workmanship and craftsmanship of keycaps. I will enter the series with my eyes closed.

▼Look at the details of the workmanship on the back of the keycap, especially the large key position, and look at the dense ribs, so you don't have to worry about the hidden danger of bending and deformation. From the design of this rib alone, Dujia K610W is the most exaggerated on hand.

▼The satellite shaft design adopted by the large key position, no matter whether it is the middle part or the left and right sides, there is no tilting phenomenon. It is very balanced and smooth, and the balance is well adjusted.

▼ After removing the keycap, you can see that there is a layer of silicone pad between the metal positioning plate of the keyboard and the PCB below, which can effectively improve the percussion feel and reduce the cavity sound.

▼Axis body, Durga K610W finally got the hang of it. This time, I didn’t hold on to the cherry, and instead cooperated with Jiadalong to launch a customized axis body-crystal axis. This axis is made on the Jiadalong CAP axis. Improvement, including red switch, silent red switch, brown switch and silver switch

▼The one I have on hand is a linear silver shaft, which focuses on speed. The trigger stroke is only 1.2 mm, and the full stroke is only 3.4mm. It feels fast to trigger, fast in response, low in pressure, and very smooth overall. The rebound follows the hand, playing games or Codewords are fine.

▼In terms of noise, the sound of the linear axis is not too loud. With the cushioning of the silicone pad and sound-absorbing cotton, the overall noise is relatively restrained. Even if it is used in a quiet place, it will not feel noisy. I have recorded a video, and you can refer to it when knocking the sound of.

▼The keyboard shaft body can be hot-swapped and replaced. Look at the removed silver shaft, black transparent shell, silver shaft, and Jiadalong's LOGO on the surface, the appearance is really good.

▼Although the appearance is too retro, thanks to the large keyboard size, the built-in battery is also super powerful. The official data is that it can be used for 8 hours a day, the 2.4g wireless battery life can reach 200 days, and the Bluetooth connection is as high as 360 days. Basically, you don't have to worry about power issues.

Durga K610W is a very good mechanical keyboard. Highly marked shape design, mainstream three-mode connection, hot-swappable shaft/keycap, excellent quality control, dual-system self-adaptation Wait, it can basically meet the needs of most users, especially the low-key and calm dark green is really beautiful, and the feel of the customized silver shaft is also remarkable. The biggest flaw may be that there is no RGB lighting effect, but to be honest, the lighting effect is very useful when displaying it. As the main keyboard, few people will keep it on all the time. It is too wasteful of electricity, and the lighting effect is really not in line with this. The style of the keyboard.

For novices who are just getting started with computers, the recognition is extremely friendly.

RGB phantom flow lighting effect is the most popular digital table set now. It can not only provide the aesthetics of the table set, but also bring a good atmosphere to the use environment.

At the same time, there are as many as 18 kinds of RGB lighting effects, and the lighting effects/brightness adjustment can be quickly switched through the combination keys, and the light moves with the keys, which is particularly cool.

The non-slip silicone pad at the bottom of the keyboard is of good quality, light and delicate, but what catches my eye the most is the two tripods with a dual-support 3-stage design. This design is really friendly, compared with no tripod or single-stage support Designed, 3-stage can provide a better operating experience for our hands.

The keyboard's main switch, toggle switch, and wired connection/charging port are located at the right rear.

As for the media buttons and shortcut buttons, there are all that should be there. These are basically the standard configuration of the keyboard, so I will skip it here.

Others may have a curved design, with the keys arranged in a gentle curve to mimic the natural position of the hands. It's important to consider which design would be most comfortable for you.

Another factor to consider is the additional features offered by the keyboard. Some ergonomic keyboards come with built-in wrist rests to provide further support and reduce strain on the wrists. Others may offer customizable key layouts, allowing you to adjust the position of the keys to better fit your hand position and typing style. It's important to consider which features would best meet your needs and preferences.

Finally, when choosing an ergonomic keyboard, it's important to consider the reputation and reliability of the manufacturer. Look for manufacturers with a proven track record of producing high-quality, ergonomic keyboards that are designed with the user's comfort and health in mind. Consider reading reviews and seeking recommendations from other users to ensure that you are choosing a keyboard from a reputable manufacturer.

In conclusion, ergonomic keyboards are designed to provide a more natural and comfortable typing experience, reducing strain and discomfort on the hands, wrists, and arms.

Benefits of Using Ergonomic Keyboards

In today’s modern world, where computers play a pivotal role in our daily lives, it is crucial to consider the impact of prolonged computer usage on our health and wellbeing. As more and more people spend long hours typing away on keyboards, the importance of ergonomic keyboards cannot be overstated. These innovative devices have been specially designed to reduce the strain and discomfort that often comes with long typing sessions, and there are several benefits to using them.

One of the biggest advantages of using an ergonomic keyboard is the reduction of strain on the hands and wrists. Traditional keyboards force the hands into an unnatural and cramped position, often leading to conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive strain injury. However, ergonomic keyboards are designed to promote a more natural hand position, with the keys split and angled to match the natural position of the hands and wrists. This can significantly reduce the risk of developing these painful and debilitating conditions, making them a wise investment for anyone who spends a lot of time at a computer.

In addition to reducing strain on the hands and wrists, ergonomic keyboards can also help to alleviate discomfort in the shoulders and neck. Many traditional keyboards force the user to hunch over, putting unnecessary strain on the upper body and leading to poor posture. However, ergonomic keyboards are often designed with a more comfortable and natural slope, allowing the user to maintain a more upright and relaxed posture while typing. This can help to prevent neck and shoulder pain, as well as the development of musculoskeletal disorders that can result from poor posture.

Furthermore, using an ergonomic keyboard can also help to improve overall comfort and productivity. Many ergonomic keyboards come with additional features such as wrist rests and adjustable stands, which can further enhance the user’s comfort and reduce fatigue during long typing sessions. Additionally, the more natural hand position provided by ergonomic keyboards can result in faster and more accurate typing, ultimately boosting productivity and reducing the risk of errors.

When considering the purchase of an ergonomic keyboard, it is important to choose a reputable manufacturer that prioritizes quality and user comfort. Look for a manufacturer that has a strong track record of producing ergonomic keyboards that are both durable and effective at reducing strain and discomfort. It is also a good idea to consider the specific needs of the user, as there are a variety of ergonomic keyboards available, each with its own unique features and design. By selecting a keyboard that is tailored to the individual’s specific requirements, the user can enjoy the full range of benefits that ergonomic keyboards have to offer.

In conclusion, ergonomic keyboards offer a range of benefits that make them a valuable investment for anyone who spends a significant amount of time at a computer. By reducing strain on the hands, wrists, shoulders, and neck, these innovative devices can help to prevent a range of painful and debilitating conditions, as well as improve overall comfort and productivity. When selecting an ergonomic keyboard, it is important to choose a reputable manufacturer and consider the specific needs of the user to ensure the best possible outcome. With the right ergonomic keyboard, users can enjoy greater comfort, improved health, and increased productivity.

How to Choose the Right Ergonomic Keyboard

When it comes to choosing the right ergonomic keyboard, there are several key factors to consider in order to ensure that you are investing in a product that will effectively meet your needs and provide you with the comfort and support you require. Whether you are a seasoned professional who spends long hours at a computer or a beginner looking to make the transition to an ergonomic keyboard, understanding the important features and considerations can help you make an informed decision.

One of the first things to consider when choosing an ergonomic keyboard is the design and layout. Ergonomic keyboards are specifically designed to reduce strain on the hands, wrists, and arms, and to promote a more natural and comfortable typing position. Look for a keyboard that features a split or curved design, as well as a low-profile or tented layout, which can help to reduce pronation and minimize wrist extension. Additionally, consider the size and shape of the keys, as well as the positioning of the number pad, as these factors can also impact the overall comfort and usability of the keyboard.

Another important feature to consider is adjustability. Many ergonomic keyboards offer adjustable features such as tilt and height adjustment, which can allow you to customize the keyboard to fit your individual needs and preferences. Look for a keyboard that offers a range of adjustment options, as well as a comfortable palm rest, to ensure that you can maintain a neutral and relaxed typing posture.

In addition to design and adjustability, it is also important to consider the key switches and key resistance of the keyboard. Key switches refer to the mechanism under the keys that registers each keystroke, and can significantly impact the feel and responsiveness of the keyboard. Some ergonomic keyboards feature mechanical key switches, which are known for their durability and tactile feedback, while others use membrane switches, which tend to have a softer and quieter feel. Consider your personal preferences and typing style when selecting a keyboard with the right key switches for you.

Finally, when choosing an ergonomic keyboard, it is important to consider the reputation and reliability of the manufacturer.

Tips for Using an Ergonomic Keyboard

As computer usage has become an integral part of daily life for many people, the importance of ergonomic keyboards has become increasingly recognized. These keyboards are designed to provide a more comfortable and natural typing experience, and can help to reduce the risk of developing repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have recently purchased an ergonomic keyboard or are considering making the switch, there are a few tips that can help you get the most out of your new device.

One of the first things to consider when using an ergonomic keyboard is the positioning of the keyboard and your posture while typing. The keyboard should be positioned so that your wrists are in a natural, neutral position. This means that your wrists should not be bent up or down, but should be in line with your forearms. It may be useful to use a keyboard tray to ensure that the keyboard is at the correct height.

Another important tip for using an ergonomic keyboard is to take regular breaks. Even with the most comfortable keyboard, typing for long periods of time can still lead to discomfort and strain. It is recommended to take a 5-10 minute break every hour to stretch, walk around, and give your hands and wrists a rest.

In addition to proper positioning and taking regular breaks, it is important to pay attention to your typing technique. With an ergonomic keyboard, you may need to adjust the way you type in order to fully benefit from the ergonomic design. Avoid pressing too hard on the keys, as this can cause unnecessary strain on your fingers and wrists. Instead, use a light touch and try to let your fingers glide across the keys. This can take some time to get used to, but it can make a big difference in reducing strain and discomfort.

Finally, it is important to make sure that the ergonomic keyboard you choose is the right fit for you. There are many different styles and designs of ergonomic keyboards available, so it is important to find one that works well with your typing style and hand size. Some ergonomic keyboards have customizable features, such as adjustable split designs or wrist rests, that can help you find the perfect fit for your needs. It may be helpful to try out a few different options before making a purchase, to ensure that you find the keyboard that is most comfortable for you.

If you are in the market for an ergonomic keyboard, it is important to choose a reputable and experienced ergonomic keyboard manufacturer. Look for a manufacturer that has a proven track record of producing high-quality, comfortable keyboards that are designed with the user's well-being in mind. A good manufacturer will also offer a range of options and features to suit different needs and preferences, so that you can find the perfect ergonomic keyboard for you.

In conclusion, using an ergonomic keyboard can make a significant difference in your typing comfort and overall well-being. By following the tips outlined in this article, and by choosing a high-quality ergonomic keyboard from a reliable manufacturer, you can ensure that you are getting the most out of your ergonomic keyboard experience. Whether you are a frequent typist or just looking for a more comfortable keyboard option, an ergonomic keyboard can be a great investment in your health and productivity.

Common Misconceptions About Ergonomic Keyboards

When it comes to ergonomics and keyboards, there are many misconceptions that need to be cleared up. In this beginner's guide, we will address some of the most common myths and misunderstandings surrounding ergonomic keyboards.

One of the most prevalent misconceptions about ergonomic keyboards is that they are only for people with specific physical disabilities or conditions. While it is true that ergonomic keyboards can be beneficial for individuals with conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive strain injuries, they are also designed to prevent these types of issues from occurring in the first place. Anyone who spends a significant amount of time typing can benefit from using an ergonomic keyboard, as they are designed to promote a more natural and comfortable typing posture.

Another common misconception is that ergonomic keyboards are difficult to use or require a significant amount of time to adjust to. While it may take some users a short period to acclimate to the new keyboard design, most people find that they can adapt to using an ergonomic keyboard relatively quickly. Many ergonomic keyboard manufacturers offer models that are specifically designed to ease the transition for new users, with features such as split key layouts or adjustable tenting angles.

Some people believe that ergonomic keyboards are expensive and not worth the investment. However, many ergonomic keyboard manufacturers offer a range of products at different price points, making it possible to find a keyboard that fits within your budget. Additionally, the long-term health benefits of using an ergonomic keyboard far outweigh the initial cost, as they can help prevent the development of painful and debilitating hand and wrist conditions.

Another misconception is that ergonomic keyboards are only available in one specific design. In reality, there are many different types of ergonomic keyboards to choose from, each offering different features and benefits. Some designs may feature split key layouts, while others may have adjustable tenting angles or built-in wrist supports. By working with an experienced ergonomic keyboard manufacturer, you can find a keyboard that fits your specific needs and preferences.

It is also a common misconception that ergonomic keyboards are not suitable for gaming or other intensive computer activities. While it is true that some gaming keyboards may not be ergonomically designed, there are many ergonomic keyboard models that are specifically tailored to meet the needs of gamers and other heavy computer users. These keyboards often offer features such as programmable keys, customizable lighting, and durable construction, making them well-suited for extended use.

In summary, there are many misconceptions about ergonomic keyboards that need to be addressed.
