High speed operation, durable materials and innovative designs have all become essential factors in the gaming peripheral industry.

1.2 Ergonomics and comfort With the increasing prevalence of physical diseases such as carpal tunnel syndrome and rat elbow, consumers are paying more and more attention to ergonomic design and comfort factors. Keyboards and mice began to incorporate ergonomic design concepts, such as curved keys and vertical mice, to reduce physical fatigue and improve user comfort.

3. How to choose a manufacturer in the post-epidemic era

3.1 In the post-epidemic era, consumers' health awareness and consumption habits have changed. In order to increase sales, some manufacturers may sacrifice product quality to reduce costs. Therefore, buyers should pay attention to the quality of products, choose reputable manufacturers, pass relevant certifications, and have a good reputation in the industry to identify cooperation partners.

3.2 Sustainability is another important factor in the post-epidemic era. A reliable manufacturer should insist on sustainable production, use environmentally friendly materials, and not harm the environment and public health.

3.3 Good after-sales service can not only help users solve product problems, but also reflect the manufacturer's attitude towards product quality and user satisfaction. Therefore, buyers should evaluate the after-sales service and technical support offered by the manufacturer. Generally speaking, the development of the computer peripheral equipment industry such as keyboards, mice, and earphones is closely related to technological innovation and user needs. In the post-pandemic era, buyers should focus on product quality, sustainability and after-sales service when choosing a manufacturer.

In the field of computer peripherals, when you talk about the famous cherry, what can you first think of? Is it the Cherry MX axis born in 1983? Or Boy Graman's "arms box" MX BPARD 8.0?

What I want to share with you today has nothing to do with these things. What I want to show is a "niche" product from CHERRY. It is also the membrane keyboard DW2300 that CHERRY just launched in March this year for the office market.

The reason for choosing this keyboard is mainly because the final use place of this keyboard set will be in the company office in the future, and the existing keyboard in hand is a bit old, so it is economical and applicable, taking into account both brand awareness and cost-effectiveness, etc. Due to various factors, the two brands in the first echelon in my mind are Cherry and Logitech.

The set of keyboards in the office is Logitech's MK 270 keyboard and mouse set. The mouse has been retired long ago, but the keyboard will persist until 2022, but it is really cheap and old. It is time for them to retire.

I personally feel that the price of around 100 yuan is a watershed for membrane keyboards. To be honest, if you add a little more to the budget of more than 100 yuan, you can touch the threshold of entry-level mechanical keyboards. The price range of 30~50 is the price war range of various OEM membrane keyboards, and the various reasons are understandable.

Therefore, those that can stand at the price of 100 yuan are basically considered big brands.

Next, let's take a look at the new CHERRY product.

The appearance of the overall package is relatively simple, because it is 104 keys plus a mouse, so the whole package looks relatively slender.

The word CHERRY on the side of the box is quite interesting to think about. Such a well-known brand in the industry has now made a membrane keyboard to meet market demand. It seems that Cherry wants to make a comprehensive coverage of its product line.

Although this product is positioned at the entry-level office, the manufacturer still gives Provides a 2-year warranty 。

The interior does not use the traditional plastic bag packaging method, but uses a more environmentally friendly Sydney paper 。

In this regard, cherries have a reason to be proud , In 1994, CHERRY became the first keyboard manufacturer to obtain the "Blue Angel" eco-label. The seal was made of paper stickers, and the interior was replaced with more expensive Sydney paper to achieve full recyclability of the packaging.

All the belongings are these, a multi-language manual that is basically impossible to read when you get it, the main body of the keyboard and mouse, and an extra AA 5 and AA batteries are carefully prepared to ensure that customers can put it into use immediately after they get it. . It avoids the embarrassing incident of having to go downstairs to buy batteries after unpacking excitedly.

Classic rounded corner treatment plus chocolate keycap shape design, the keycap adopts micro-curved design , When typing, fingers and keycaps can have a more fitting touch. The silkscreen characters used on the keycaps are claimed to be durable.

Battle Damaged Edition

There are a few geniuses in our unit who have practiced the "Vajra Finger" until the end, they can wipe out the fonts on the keyboard.

At first, I thought this buddy was of the "Great God" level, and he used unengraved keycaps. Later, I found out that the printing quality of the keyboard characters was not good enough. After a long time, the printed part of the letters fell off.

Based on visual inspection, the key pitch is about 18-19mm, which is a proper full-size keyboard specification. Normally, as long as the desktop area is not very tight, I personally prefer this kind of full-size large keyboard.

DW2300 only needs one AAA battery to meet the power supply requirements of the keyboard. If I remember correctly, Logitech's MK270 series needs two AAA batteries to use. Both the mouse and the keyboard have low battery indicator lights, and when the battery is low, it will flash to remind us to replace the battery.

Different from other keyboard's support foot design, Cherry's DW2300 model Designed with integral support feet , this design is generally used more often in keyboards with 60% of the keys on mechanical keyboards, and it is relatively rare to use this design on membrane keyboards. This kind of supporting foot is indeed much better in actual use. I have used movable supporting feet before and it is easy to break.

The bottom of the keyboard has 5 pieces of rubber feet , so as to ensure that the keyboard is stable and does not slide on the desktop, and the rubber can absorb shocks well.

According to official data, the keyboard adopts 7.9° inclination , at this angle, it is more suitable for the wrist and palm of the person, and it is more comfortable to type for a long time. If you have special angle requirements for the keyboard stand, this may be a little troublesome.

For example, some friends like to put the keyboard at a flat angle, but the flat is not ergonomic, and it is more comfortable to type on the keyboard with a certain support angle.

The entire set of keyboards uses 2.4G wireless connection , the receiver is placed in the mouse, and one AA battery can meet the daily use conditions of the mouse. Early Logitech used Union technology in this price range, but now it has been cancelled. Basically, the keyboard and mouse at this price are all connected by 2.4G, and everyone is a starting line.

Without batteries, the weight of the mouse is about 70 grams . After my test, With the built-in battery installed, the weight of the mouse is about 86 grams . You may not have any idea about this weight. The Dareus A950 wireless mouse I got a few days ago weighs about 88 grams. It is worth buying the Logitech "Shit King" generation mouse that weighs about 80 grams.

Therefore, the weight of Cherry's wireless mouse is well controlled.

We need to pay attention to a sense of ritual, the cherry mouse must be paired with the exclusive mouse pad of the cherry (this is the special mouse pad that I bought and ordered last year, I think this mouse pad is worth buying, many value friends should have the same Pay it.

The mouse shape design is very simple, the left and right symmetrical design shapes, and there are no side buttons. From this point of view, the tail of the mouse is still relatively high. The advantage of this is that the mouse can fill the palm of the hand. When used for a long time, it can give the hand a better sense of support and reduce discomfort.

From this angle, you can intuitively feel that this is a left-right symmetrical shape design, and there are two small grooves on the mouse button. The advantage of this design is that it can make the fingers and the mouse fit better. The size of the mouse is 105*60*35mm, and the sensor uses the inspirational MX8650A, 1200DPI.

A simple full-size wireless keyboard can bring a nice tidiness to the office desk. Saying goodbye to the cumbersome physical line connection is really refreshing.

With the configuration of the cherry mouse pad, the overall silkiness of the mouse is relatively good, and it is effortless to use.

However, silky is not the biggest advantage of this mouse, In my opinion its biggest advantage is the silence.

The mute effect of this mouse absolutely subverts your imagination. Whether it is used in the office or at home, it will never disturb other people. It is even an exaggeration to say that you use it to go to work, fish and browse worth buying web pages, and you will not feel it. It will expose your behavior of browsing the web because of the frequent clicking sound of the mouse.

From this angle, we can see that the keyboard of DW2300 uses 12 FN combination keys. Although it is not an independent function key like Logitech, the playability of FN+ combination keys is also very high. In addition to the first eight media function keys, the latter few function keys are also very practical.

Thanks to the fixed angle designed by the manufacturer, there is no need to add an additional palm rest when typing for a long time . The typing feel of the entire keyboard is also good. I admit that the topic of feel has a certain "metaphysical" component, because even with the same keyboard, different people can have different feelings when experiencing it, so considering the price, let's take a look. Personally, I think the only regret about this percussion experience is that the key travel is a bit short. There is really no need to brag about this price, we just have an actual experience.

for example FN+F12 can directly call out the calculator function . This kind of operation does not need to take out the mobile phone to select the APP when we need it.

The screenshot function of FN+F9 is also more practical , you can choose a variety of screenshot modes, but one thing to note is that this screenshot is only a function of selecting and pasting. It is no problem for you to paste it directly into other dialog boxes, but there is no save as option. It is a pity that the specified location cannot be saved.

This one-click to open the computer or switch between multiple windows, These methods are also problems that are often encountered in daily office work.

If you feel that the above multimedia design does not meet your daily office habits, you can also download CHERRY KEYS this driver Come and make a custom design for your keyboard and mouse.

This may not be attractive to high-end keyboards and mice, but it is very conscientious to have a separate driver for an entry-level keyboard and mouse set.

We can easily set the F key area/mouse shortcut properties, such as quickly opening custom web pages, applications, system functions (such as logout, lock, standby, etc.), playing and recording macros, quickly inserting edited text and multimedia functions, etc. Improve office efficiency.

This driver definitely allows you to find the feeling of mechanical keyboard macro setting function on the membrane keyboard.

This is completely possible to design and use operations according to your own needs. An entry-level price of 100 yuan, high-end enjoyment. This is also a side view of the software and hardware strength of the first-tier manufacturers.

If you set the macro on the side button and use it flexibly for actual control, the experience is also great. It's a pity that the mouse of DW2300 is not equipped with side buttons, so I can't appreciate the convenience of this setting.

DW2300 wireless keyboard and mouse set, I personally think that within the price range of 100 yuan, it is absolutely sincere to be able to do the following:

The full keyboard has multimedia keys (it can even be set and adjusted according to personal needs)

The feel of the membrane keyboard is relatively good.

2 years warranty (keyboard and mouse)

If I want to say something wrong, I personally feel that the mute is really in place. I am not used to it at first. Sometimes I feel like performing a pantomime with empty hands. Only when I see the cursor shaking on the screen do I know that this is a real response. If you just like that rattling sound, be careful. Another reminder, this keyboard is not waterproof, please pay attention when using it, and keep away from the keyboard when drinking water and coffee.

Interested friends can take a look at the promotion of 618! You can get a keyboard and mouse set with old-fashioned peripherals in the early 100s, which can be regarded as a bargain.

Cherry DW2300 is a keyboard and mouse set just released this year. Once this keyboard and mouse set was launched, it was welcomed. The appearance of Cherry DW2300 adopts a relatively retro design, and secondly, it is no different from other office keyboard and mouse sets. As a world-class peripheral manufacturer, Cherry must be in place in all aspects.

The keyboard of Cherry DW2300 uses 104 keys. 104 keys are necessary as an office keyboard. It is very convenient in office work, even for daily use. The 104 keys of Cherry DW2300 are very convenient for using number keys and excel tables, and there are many shortcut keys.

The keyboard has transition processing, and after pressing the keys, it feels very textured and very comfortable. Even typing for a long time, there is no discomfort. When used for a long time, there will be no slight hand feeling. Overall, the keyboard is relatively small, using a symmetrical design. The membrane keyboard is very light and comfortable to use.

The mouse in the suit is very round as a whole. This mouse is not big, but also very light, and the appearance is also very good-looking. Beauty design online. The design of the mouse refers to the ergonomic design, which is effortless to use and free from the wrist. There is no discomfort on the wrist when using it. This mouse feels full in your hand.

The wireless mouse can be used without being bound by wires, and it is also very light in weight. Without the battery installed, it is only 66g and uses one AA battery. The mouse uses a PixArt original phase sensor, 1200dpi. It is worth mentioning that the mouse uses a receiver, which is still very convenient. The design is all driver-free design, so you don’t have to worry about installing the driver after changing the computer.

At present, the Bluetooth keyboard has become the mainstream in the market. Although it has a fast delay in playing games, it is not as sensitive as a wired mechanical keyboard, so you still have to start with a wired mechanical keyboard to play games. Wired mechanical keyboards are indispensable for gaming parties, just like girls' lipstick. Today, on Double 11, I bought a new Dareu A81 wired mechanical keyboard. Let’s see how it performs together.

Dareu A81 wired mechanical keyboard. After the 98 and 87 Gasket keyboards, Dareu has launched a new 75% configuration, steel-free Gasket keyboard. It has 2 color versions. Choose the city to start with the A81 wired mechanical keyboard in the black diamond version. The keycaps of this keyboard are not pure black, but PC transparent keycaps.

When you start to get started, you only need to connect to the computer through its Type-C port. In addition, it can also switch between Apple and Windows computers through physical buttons, which is very convenient and fast.

In addition, you can take a look at the knocking effect of the keyboard, and you can find that under the design of the PC transparent keycap, the lighting effect is very obvious, not only the edge luminous body, but the lighting of the entire button is visually conveyed It will be more cool all of a sudden, even if your computer desk does not have ambient lights, the atmosphere will be improved when playing games.

For example, Zecheng is playing a gunfight game in zombie mode. The delay of A81 keyboard keys is very low, so I often dare to directly use a sword to attack at close range, and it is very sensitive to move forward and backward. In addition, with the lighting mode, a cool e-sports scene is created at once.

Of course, there are a total of 8 designs for the keyboard backlight effect, which can be switched through the keyboard "Fn+[" key combination. Zecheng's favorite is the Ripple mode. This mode is through the user's tapping, and the light effect spreads from the buttons to the surroundings, which is very beautiful.

If you don't like this backlight effect, you can also turn it off through the physical button on the left side of the keyboard. There are also three options: always on, backlight effect, and off.

Compared with other aspects of the product, I prefer the size and percussion feel of the A81 mechanical keyboard. The simplified 75% layout and 81 keycap design can make the desktop more space, especially for people like me. Desktop ornaments a lot of users. However, if you are a fan of Audition games and like to challenge the 8-direction key mode, this keyboard is a bit unsuitable because it lacks a nine-square digital module.

In addition, I value the pressure feedback of the mechanical keyboard and the sound of the percussion very much. It is said that the brown switch is the most suitable keyboard for programmers, but the paragraph sense of the brown switch has not been very strong, which is also its defect. However, the Dareu A81 mechanical keyboard can well integrate the advantages of the brown switch and the green switch, and adopts a new elastic arm GASKET structure and a design without a positioning plate.

At the same time, the built-in double-filled Poron cotton and high-toughness silicone in the keyboard can well eliminate the inner cavity sound, and the bottom is clean and neat, providing users with a more pure key shaft feel and pure key sound.

In addition, the keyboard also uses PCB gold-plated satellite shafts, which are not only more accurate and smoother, but also fixed with PCB locking screws, the keycaps are as stable as Mount Tai. If you don't use the tools provided by the government, you can't remove the keycaps by holding it by hand alone.

The Dareu keyboard adopts the tea-like paragraph shaft design "Purple Gold Switch", which allows users to type a paragraph with a strong sense of touch, and also has a typewriter-like feel. The trigger force is 45±8gf, the trigger stroke and the total stroke are 2.1±0.3mm. The atmosphere of typing the code is also full, and there is no need to worry about the keyboard shifting caused by excessive tapping. After all, there are 4 anti-skid pads at the bottom.

To be honest, typing codes with the A81 keyboard is really comfortable. The feedback of the A81 keys, the impact sound of each new line, is very crisp, especially when pressing the space bar, it can distinguish the sound of other keys very well. This prevents programmers from making mistakes and making mistakes without pressing a space, which greatly improves the efficiency of programmers typing codes.

In addition, the A81 mechanical keyboard also provides two other very convenient shortcut keys, such as "Fn+Spacebar" to directly adjust the screen brightness, and "Fn+ESC" to restore the keyboard to factory settings.

If you are a gamer, or a programmer who is looking for a new keyboard, Dareu A81 wired mechanical keyboard, you can properly consider it.
