Men have many hobbies, such as buying shoes, playing watches, opening cylinders, SLRs, etc., but the one I save the most is mechanical keyboards, for no other reason than love. There are a lot of masters in the key ring, and the customization is for beginners. Recently, I don’t like tossing much, and there are few customizations. Compared with customization, mass-produced keyboards lack a lot of individual needs. Some time ago, I heard that Dujia is about to release new products. It is still a three-mode keyboard with a brand new mold. As an old user of Dujia, how can we fall behind. So after chatting with Ms. Du Jia, she promised to give me a new product in advance, but the color matching shafts are all random. At that time, I knew that its model was K610W, 104 keys. No other information was given, but allow me to disassemble. Good guy, this time it's even more blind box than blind box. Such an exciting thing, why don't you all follow me to uncover the big secret?
After removing the logistics outer box, the packaging inside is really full of mystery. Of course, the retail version you will be able to buy at that time will definitely not be in this package. This is the first batch of mine. Whether it is a proofing or an engineering version, I am satisfied if I can get it in advance, regardless of the packaging outside. Before opening the box, I still don't know what design color and shaft are inside. Of course, this also has a more visual sense of the blind box. To avoid misunderstanding, it is stated in advance that the first batch of proofs does not necessarily represent subsequent retail batches. The content of this article is mainly for reference.
Family portrait: In addition to the keyboard and dust cover, there is also a C-mount power cord, a C-to-A adapter, a key puller, a shaft puller, and replacement keycaps for 3 Macs (the dual system automatically recognizes the matching keys ). Because mine is an early batch, there should be cable management tapes and instructions in the later retail batches.
It's normal to have different aesthetics, but there are indeed high and low points. One of the reasons I like Dujia is that its design is very advanced and it suits my taste. The lines and colors are very coordinated, which belongs to the design language of restraint aesthetics. Take a closer look at this K610W, which is still full of Durga flavor and recognizable. If it is a newborn, then its parents must be K310 and K330W, combining the strengths of the two for further upgrade and evolution. Later, I learned that the K610W has two color versions, dark and light (named Island and Echo respectively). This is the more low-key dark version - Island. The two-color keycaps are complemented by a few white keys, making this keyboard calm and not dull. This layered and unobtrusive design makes it more comfortable to look at.
I saw the official picture of Dujia Echo before publishing this article, and I will also post one for comparison and reference for users with different preferences.
Its 87-key version is called K620W, but I still wanted to get it right first, so I chose the 104-key K610W. After all, the small keyboard still has its place. And I personally feel that the 104 keys seem to be more comfortable than the 87 keys in terms of physical design. In the design of the front of the keyboard, Dujia also has a detail that I like very much. It will not print a big LOGO on the space bar or other blank spaces. Whether it is the previous K610W or this K610W, the visual presentation for me has always been consistent. It's very holistic.
The side of this double-layered keyboard should be the only Durga LOGO you can see on the table. I am not a person who loves houses and blacks, but having said that, this LOGO is right-aligned on the side, restrained and not fancy , It's really beautiful.
The indicator area in the upper right corner uses a separate piece of acrylic material and has a texture design. It is the most recognizable design on the K610W. Especially on this dark keyboard, the design details are enriched and the texture of the product is enhanced.
I actually measured the weight of this keyboard to be 1.232kg. But it is visually thinner and thinner than the hands-on one, especially the nested design with a touch of green edge on the side, which clearly distinguishes it from the traditional stupid, thick and heavy mechanical keyboard. The three-level height adjustment is also enough to satisfy me when I am lifting The input habits of multiple scenes such as standing posture and sitting posture in front of the desk. By the way, the ancestral side-view exposed shaft is finally over in K610W, and it can satisfy more people's preferences.
The power switch is designed on the back, and it is a pure power switch. The wireless Bluetooth switch is not integrated here. The benefits are obvious, and you can realize the blind operation switch power at the first time. The Type-C port on the side is still very tightly designed. I tried to press randomly on the front of the keyboard and looked at the C port sideways, but there was no port displacement.
Different people have different opinions on Dujia, especially the design of the K310 and K320 series that opened the market. I think there is nothing wrong with continuing to polish the classic design, but it is undeniable that Dujia has many subdivisions in these two series. After continuing his classic model in the version for a long time, it is understandable for the audience to feel the lack of freshness. In fact, Dujia has long realized that he needs to continue to innovate. If the K330 series is a small test of Dujia’s mold revision, then this K610W is a more mature mold innovation. There is also a new design language at the bottom, but the two-stage support The classic design is still retained, and the opening and closing feel is good. It should be noted here that in fact, the version that is officially on sale still has the information on the nameplate sticker in the middle of the bottom. I am afraid that you may misunderstand, so I will explain it in particular.
The first few three-mode keyboards of Dujia had no good storage places for the 2.4Ghz receiver due to the problems left over from the mold history. After redesigning the mold this time, the K610W also has a reasonable storage compartment. , and the damping feeling of the receiver card inside is moderate. Open the cover, the adapter will not fall out, and it will not be too tight to make it difficult to pick out.
You want to ask why I switched back to 104 keys after playing a lot of compact configurations? The reason is very simple, one-step direct access, no need to memorize many combination keys, for example, the previous Dujia K330W is very good in terms of size and design, but under its compact arrangement design, the direction keys must be activated by combination keys , I'm still not used to it. In addition, Dujia's three-mode keyboard is integrated with the mode switching function in QWER. Through Fn+Q, W, E, R, you can quickly switch between Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, 2.4Ghz, and wired. It is convenient to seamlessly switch between my desktop and laptop.
The Duga K610W still uses the two-color PBT keycaps with the height of the original factory, taking into account the delicate feel and durability, and it will not be as easy to oil as the ABS material. In addition, don't think that there are no injection-molded characters on its few eye-catching white keys. If you look closely, there are still some.
Still can't see? Then microscopically zoom in and compare. In fact, all its keycaps are made of two-color closed-end technology, but the white keys are also injected with white. To be honest, I really thought it was strange at first, but from the perspective of a designer, I just It is not difficult to understand Durga's thinking. Because the main body is a dark keyboard, it is no problem to use white injection molding for the characters inside, but if the white keycaps are also injected with dark characters, it will destroy the unified sense of coordination. And these white keys (Esc, space bar, two enter keys) are the most frequently used keys, and these positions can be operated blindly. It is also a good idea to make it more pure keycap. So there is no need to worry about the character injection color of the white key. Durga's aesthetics have always been acceptable.
In terms of the shaft body, the crystal shaft customized by Dujia and Jiadalong is used. At present, it is known that this model provides a total of four shaft body options: red shaft, brown shaft, silver shaft, and mute red shaft. The one I received was a silent red switch. It is in line with the setting of the color scheme of the isolated island, quiet.
Carefully pay attention to the big key position, you can see Duga’s customary factory generous lubricating shaft, and grease overflows under the satellite shaft. Not to mention, I will eat this set. Because Durga's factory tuning has always been excellent. Although there is a lot of grease, it is not meaty.
The keycap painting on the K610W is relatively quick, with a standard cross opening. However, the details of some of the keycap spouts of this first batch of proofing versions can be handled better, the problem is not big, and I believe that subsequent batches will improve.
Turn over and look at the inside of this large keycap. Its ribs are quite full to reduce the possibility of deformation. Even if some users with strong hands come to high-intensity use, I believe it can guarantee a relatively smooth tapping experience.
Old users who are familiar with Dujia should know that Dujia has an obsessive-compulsive disorder experience. Almost every type of switch keyboard will use different switches to match the space bar. For example, the space on this keyboard The key shaft body uses a different Jiadalong custom crystal shaft. To a certain extent, it can play a role in reinforcing the experience. After all, the space bar is relatively large to avoid low separation or even a weak percussion feeling. Dujia usually uses a shaft that is one step stronger than the main shaft for the space bar.
There is a gap between the satellite shaft and the steel plate. If you are not used to it, you can remove the satellite shaft and stick a small piece of Teflon tape on the edge of the steel plate for reinforcement to improve the matching.
I found that even if I don’t make any adjustments, the balance performance is still quite good when I tap the big key left and right, and I don’t feel the tilt phenomenon. The factory adjustment of the buttons, shaft body, and mold assembly is still okay.
For mechanical keyboards, I actually pay more attention to the solidity of its keys. The stability of its shaft center and shaft cover is still very good. No matter how you press it, it is very balanced and smooth. Compared with the OEM height of K310 and 320, K610W's original factory height keyboard receives more direct feedback and looks better visually (personal opinion, welcome to bar).
As a representative of the linear switch, the silent red switch K610W is really easy to use. Compared with the silver switch, it feels slightly crisper, and the smoothness of tapping is more obvious, and the feel is smooth and comfortable. Compared with other switches, it has a lighter key performance and does not overwhelm the host. In many cases, it will make you forget the keyboard itself and focus more on games and daily typing. It is also the best choice for full-time dads. By the way, users who have needs such as button customization can also download the Dugazeus driver. Both K610w and K620w support DURGOD Zeus Engine driver software, and all modes support full-key no-click technology, macro key function and onboard storage function.
After the K330, the K610W also supports hot-swappable shaft seats, and supports the plug-in replacement of three-legged and five-legged shaft bodies. It is a little regretful that there is no backlight design this time. In fact, for the low-key style of the series, it provides pure white monochrome lights at night, which can quite enhance the atmosphere.
I said that it can be disassembled, but it must be dismantled. I have to say that the mold of Dujia is too tight, and there are too many buckles on the shell. It took me a lot of time to just open the cover. Ordinary users do not recommend disassembling the machine casually. After all, Dujia’s factory tuning is already very good, and there is no need to disassemble the machine for changing shafts and keycaps.
This time the K610W is really completely renewed from the inside to the outside. Remove the top cover and unscrew the screws, you can see the metal positioning plate, silicone pad, PCB board, and sound-absorbing cotton. There are many luxurious configurations in customization. . Durga allows you to feel the sincerity of customization on mass-produced keyboards. In fact, the silicone pad and sound-absorbing cotton have indeed improved the experience, with low noise and good shock absorption.
Open the PCB board to reveal the built-in large battery with a rated capacity of 3600mAh 13.68Wh. Moreover, Dujia has also made a god optimization. Based on the calculation of 8 hours of daily use, the Bluetooth battery life can reach up to 360 days, and the 2.4G is about 200 days. And it only takes 3 hours to fully charge (using an ordinary 5V2A charger), which can be said to be exciting and tearful, and the anxious battery life is abandoned. Moreover, the two wires of the battery are not welded to the motherboard, so it is very convenient to replace them by yourself.
According to the experience of using various keyboards on the market, compared with the detachable shaft body, the switch and power interface are actually more likely to be damaged. So I also paid attention to the power switch and Type-C port on the K610W. Their reinforcement measures are quite in place. This structural design is not easy to cause displacement after long-term use. By the way, the soldering work of components on this PCB board of Dujia is quite good, the arrangement is tight and neat, and the obsessive-compulsive disorder is extremely comfortable.
In fact, I received this keyboard a few days before the release. I was busy, so I started to use it first, and the manuscript was delayed until now. But it also allowed me to evaluate this keyboard more objectively. After using it for a few days, I feel "smooth", pleasing to the eye in appearance, and smooth in hand. There are no bad problems or hidden problems. If you are like me and don’t want to toss about customization, but also want to find something different in the low-key mass-produced keyboard, then you can consider this Dujia K610W (87-key called K620W). After all, there are not many mass-produced keyboards that can satisfy this kind of ultra-long battery life, hot-swappable, and excellent molds at the same time.
Upstart recently released two new keyboard products, GM780 and GM980, which adopt the Gasket structure. Both keyboards adopt the same transparent shell retro style design, provide three color schemes, and are also equipped with the current mainstream three-mode Hot-swappable solution, with RGB backlight and two shaft bodies jointly customized with Kaihua, it has a good performance in appearance and hardware configuration. Before, the author has brought you the evaluation of the GM780 three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard, and then follow the author to see how the GM980 three-mode hot-swap mechanical keyboard performs.
包装&附件:
Like the GM780, the upstart GM980 three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard provides three color schemes: scorching sun, starry sky and foggy mountain. The one I got is the scorching sun color scheme. The theme color is also consistent with the outer packaging of the fuselage, and it is very convenient to identify. The brand, model and product feature identification are provided on the package, and the simple design style makes it easier for users to understand product features and specifications. In terms of accessories, there are manuals, key pullers, USB Type-C cables, five-sided sublimation-themed keycaps, and replacement shafts. The accessories are still relatively rich.
外观&细节:
The upstart GM980 three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard adopts the same design language as GM780. The retro body shape and multi-color transparent shell body not only bring super high appearance performance, but also have a higher visual resolution. The keyboard adopts a 98-like arrangement scheme, and the F area and the main key area adopt a compact layout style. It has a complete number key area and a sunken direction area. At the same time, two additional keys are added to the right side of the F area to ensure the body In addition to the size, it also provides users with a more complete input experience. Of course, the compact F-zone layout still needs a period of time to get used to when pressing blindly. The number keypad and the main keypad are vertically separated, which reduces the difficulty for users to get started, and also provides a place for the status indicator light, making it easier to identify in daily use. Like the GM780, this keyboard also has a theme decoration strip on the top, and the orange button on the right provides the system switching function. It looks beautiful and practical, and is user-friendly enough. If the decorative strip is replaced by magnetic suction, it is believed that it can also bring more appearance and play methods to the keyboard, making the keyboard more innovative.
In terms of combined key functions, this keyboard provides lighting control, multimedia control, calling system programs, wireless mode switching, and some function key calls, etc., with the right-moving FN key and the logo on the keycap, allowing users to get started. Easier, faster, and easier to use. At the same time, the MacOS keys are also marked on the bottom row of keys, and it can be seen that this keyboard has also been adapted to the MacOS system, and the details are still very considerate.
The top right side provides a USB Type-C interface, a power switch, and a three-mode switching switch. The switches are all toggle switches, with a clear feel and precise gear positions, which can reduce the error rate under blind operation. The orange round button is a system switching button, which supports dual system switching of windows/MacOS. The light in the middle is also convenient for users to identify the current system status of the keyboard. This design is still very good. The highly versatile USB Type-C interface also allows users to easily find various compatible cables to charge the keyboard, or use it in a wired state, which also has excellent convenience.
It adds rich oblique lines on the top of the bottom case, which not only ensures the flatness of the bottom case, but also creates a more layered look and feel. Through the transparent bottom shell, you can also see that the interior is filled with a thick bottom silicone pad, which is very helpful for improving the feel and reducing noise. The four corners of the keyboard provide long strips of non-slip foot pads, the left and right sides of the top are two-stage feet with non-slip rubber, and the middle position is a magnetic metal information nameplate. The layout is simple and clear. Users can adjust the inclination of the keyboard by adjusting the two-stage support feet on the top to reduce the fatigue caused by long-term use and make the input experience easier and more comfortable. The magnetic metal nameplate in the middle provides the specification information of the keyboard, and can act as a storage compartment cover, so that users can store the wireless adapter with confidence, and the details are still in place.
键帽&轴体:
The upstart GM980 three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard provides four types of switches, including the starry sky switch and Dailuo switch jointly customized with Kaihua, and the currently well-known Kaihua BOX White and Jiadalong G Silver Pro. The author got the Kaihua BOX white switch designed for paragraph feel. This shaft body has a moderate sense of paragraph, moderate trigger pressure and crisp and transparent "Click" also make this shaft body have a clear sense of rhythm when tapping, and also have high smoothness and stability when pressing , the overall performance is still very good. The satellite axis scheme is adopted for the large key position, and the feel adjustment is also very good. The vibration and abnormal noise are properly controlled, and the feel is neat and crisp, and the performance is still very good. The GM980 series keyboard is also equipped with a full-key hot-swappable solution, which is compatible with three-legged switches and five-legged switches, making it easier and more convenient for users to replace switches, and also provides higher playability performance for the keyboard.
The keyboard is equipped with a set of PBT double-color injection keycaps with the height of the original factory. The colors of the keycaps also correspond to their respective theme schemes, which greatly improves the overall appearance of the keyboard. The keycap is a closed character scheme with an opaque design. The surface has a slightly frosted texture, which has an excellent tactile performance, and the PBT material has good oil resistance and wear resistance, which can resist surface wear in daily use. The resulting problems such as blurred characters and greasy feeling take into account both tactility and durability. The included theme keycaps are treated with five-sided thermal sublimation process, with gorgeous colors and delicate touch. The embellishment also has a good performance, and can further enhance the appearance of the keyboard.
RGB backlight:
Upstart GM980 three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard supports RGB backlight scheme, supports color adjustment of about 16.8 million colors, and can adjust lighting effect, brightness, color, dynamic speed, etc. through combination keys, and still has a lot of light playability Well done. In terms of visual performance, although the brightness of the light is weaker, the white steel plate and transparent shell scheme also make the light look softer and more uniform. The light is projected on the desktop through the surroundings of the shell, which can also create a good lighting atmosphere. environment is more pronounced. Rich lighting gameplay and good visual performance, whether it is for night recognition or as a desktop lighting display, it has a good effect.
Use test:
The upstart GM980 three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard adopts the Gasket structure that is currently favored by users, cancels the screw support and fixing structure, and the metal positioning plate is fixed on the fuselage by multiple soft rubber materials. The PCB and the bottom case are filled with very thick soft silicone pads, which not only suppresses knocking noise, but also improves the feel to a certain extent. However, the addition of metal positioning boards still has a certain impact on the softness and elasticity of the hand feel. When pressing the bottom, there is still a slightly tough hand feeling feedback. If it is replaced with a mainstream PC positioning board, I believe the hand feeling feedback will be softer and softer. This keyboard has a built-in 3000mAh lithium battery, which can provide about 100 hours of battery life in the dark state, and about 10 hours of battery life under the highest brightness of the light, which is enough for daily use. The USB Type-C interface and the solution of charging and using at the same time also allow users to recharge the keyboard at any time without worrying about insufficient power.
This keyboard also provides three connection schemes: wired, 2.4Ghz wireless and Bluetooth. In Bluetooth mode, it supports switching among up to 3 paired devices. It also has good compatibility with Windows/Mac OS/IOS/Android operating systems. , it is friendly enough for multi-platform and multi-device users. At the same time, it also adapts the MacOS keys, allowing users to use it immediately, which is very convenient. In the three modes, the keyboard provides a full-key no-reverse solution, which can avoid operation errors or interference caused by key interference, and is more handy to deal with various usage scenarios. In the wireless state, the connection performance is also stable enough, there is no freeze, failure, disconnection, etc., and the user experience is still very good. The keyboard also provides a wealth of combined key functions, which can also realize quick control of lighting and multimedia, which is very practical and convenient in daily use.
Summarize:
The upstart GM980 three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard adopts a 98-like configuration scheme. The family-oriented body shape scheme and various color schemes also bring higher visual recognition. Bring a wealth of options. The compact key layout, hot-swappable design, Gasket structure, and three-mode connection scheme also have a good experience in daily use, allowing users to obtain multiple enjoyments in terms of feel and hearing. At present, the GM980 series keyboards have been officially released. The official price starts at 649 yuan, which coincides with the 618 promotion. The price starts at 599 yuan. Users who like it may wish to pay more attention.

The keyboard may be the most playable among computer peripherals, but many people are limited to a mechanical keyboard with RGB equivalent. In fact, the highest level of keyboard playing is customization. For customized keyboards, you can choose the body, axis, keycaps, etc., and install a keyboard of your own according to your hobbies. In the past two days, I have bought the keyboard of Lofree, and I will share with you the experience of installation and use.
The first thing to explain is that when purchasing on the e-commerce platform, there will be fewer options for customization. After all, the presentation of the e-commerce platform needs to be standardized, so customization needs to be carried out in the Luofei building applet, so that you can choose by yourself Keycaps, switches and body. I chose the tofu color of the 68 keys, the yellow switches of Jiadalong and the keycaps with the theme of summer invasion.
Here I want to explain that in addition to 68 keys, there are 100 keys, because I have been using keyboards with more than 100 keys before, so I chose 68 keys this time, which can save some desktop space.
After receiving the package, there are actually three core components in the package, namely the fuselage, keycap and shaft body, all three of which are individually packaged, and there are also three batteries, connecting wires, key puller, manual, certificate of conformity, etc. small component. It is worth noting that the packaging of the keycaps is actually fixed in order, which is convenient for us to install.
Because it is customized, we need to install it by ourselves. The installation sequence is to install the shaft body first, and then install the keycaps in the corresponding order.
The shaft I chose is Jiadalong's yellow shaft. The top of the shaft is yellow, the bottom stitch is golden, the two stitches are staggered from each other, and the base of the shaft is white. Pay extra attention when installing, because if you are not careful, the pins will be bent. There is an experience when installing, that is to tilt the shaft body slightly, the angle of inclination is the same as the body, and then press it hard.
In fact, a total of 71 shafts are equipped, and three more shafts are added to prevent the pins of some shafts from being broken or broken. When installing, it is recommended to install the shaft body from one side, and it is recommended to press after each installation to test whether the installation is successful. If the installation fails, you can adjust it in time, otherwise it will take a lot of trouble to check it out after everything is installed later.
The installation of the keycaps is much easier, you only need to install them in the order of the keycaps. After installation, the height of the keycap may be different due to the force. Don't panic at this time, just press all the keycaps once to achieve the same height of the keycaps. The entire installation process is actually much simpler than imagined. When you face the keyboard you installed with one axis and one key, you will feel a sense of pride in your heart.
The set of keyboards I customized is called Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao. In fact, it is named after his appearance. The entire keyboard has a high top and a low bottom, showing a rounded arc with a slight upturn, which is more ergonomic and more comfortable when typing. In fact, the reason for the warping is a very clever design, that is, the position where the battery is installed at the bottom of the top of the keyboard, which forms the key to the small warping.
I chose this set of beach-themed keycaps. On the keycaps, elements of the beach are integrated, including lighthouses, coconut trees, waves, parasols, iced drinks, etc., and they are made in cartoon style, very cute, male and female suitable for all. The lower three rows of keycaps are sea blue, and the upper two rows are light blue, which is very harmonious. Although it is said that there are only 68 keys, but everything is available, switching from 104 keys to 68 keys can be directly adapted. It is worth noting that there is only one hidden indicator light on the front of the entire keyboard, and that is the indicator light on the upper and lower case keys.
As for the yellow axis of Jiadalong, I personally feel that the pressing is relatively smooth, the pressing feedback is moderate, no force is required, the sound is relatively calm and not too noisy, and it is very suitable for people like me who have a lot of code words. Of course, you can also choose to buy another set of shafts for other scenarios.
This pair of keyboards can be connected in three modes. In addition to direct cable connection, you can also use Bluetooth connection, or you can choose to use 2.4G wireless network connection. The branch factory is considerate, especially the connection cable is also made more beautiful and easier. Cable elbow design.
The assembled Lofree 68 keyboard, I think, may be the most comfortable keyboard I have used in these years. After all, the shaft, cap and machine are selected by myself, and it is installed by myself with one shaft and one cap. . In fact, the appearance is really high. If you play with mechanical keyboards, then I think customized keyboards must be your final destination. Luo Fei, you can really think about it.
The popularity of mechanical keyboards has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in recent years, whether it is playing games or office codes. Compared with the cheap membrane keyboard, the feel is much more comfortable and crisp. Especially for friends who often compete in e-sports, a keyboard with excellent performance can improve the speed of micro-management and take the lead in the game. For people who type frequently, excellent paragraph sense and reduced false touches are more important. Therefore, there are different axes to meet the needs of the corresponding scene. However, in our daily life, we sometimes process documents in the office, and we also like to play games in our spare time. Is there a way to instantly change the trigger stroke without plugging and replacing the shaft? If there is a demand, there will naturally be products to meet it. As a well-known peripheral brand under the national manufacturer Shuangfeiyan, the newly launched 3-player 3-speed optical axis mechanical keyboard T98 by Bloody Ghost can perfectly solve the problem. Its newly built LT optical axis fully intelligent axis body can directly change the trigger stroke through its own characteristics. Let us quickly take a look at its performance:
1. Packaging:
The product packaging has reversed the previous red and black gaming style of Bloody Ghost, and replaced it with a white sketched keyboard as the base, and the eye-catching handprints have also been changed to a black pixel style. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the word "3" with colorful gradients, which means that everything is for the player, and triple jumps can be triggered.
In terms of content, in addition to the main body of the keyboard, there is also a key puller and a Type-C port cable. The material of the cable is ordinary rubber, not the previous nylon braided cable, but the cable is longer and still It's solid. Finally, it is the design of machine line separation, which is more convenient to use.
This is not over yet, the manufacturer also provided us with a set of camouflage-colored OEM keycaps (a total of 25 pieces), the thickness of the keycaps is 1.3mm, and the PBT sublimation process is adopted. It is extremely abrasive, and it will not oil or fade under long-term use. It is dedicated to games. It can be seen from the details that Bloody Ghost has truly achieved all the concepts and attitudes considered by players, which is worthy of praise.
2. Appearance:
The T98 of Bloody Ghost is very interesting in terms of model naming. First of all, it is equipped with 98 keys. At the same time, T98 as a heavy tank can also be described as a generation of classics. This naming just fits the theme of the player. The keyboard has two colors, pixel green and pixel gray. I prefer green, which is eye-catching. It is still very handsome with 25 camouflage keycaps (the official clearly stated that there will be more keycaps with rich themes in the future).
The 98 arrangement not only retains almost all the function keys of the 104 arrangement, but also is more compact (the specific "measurement" is 385mm*138mm*41mm), unlike the more compact 78-key, it has an independent cursor and numeric keypad area to meet the input needs in more scenarios. It is the most comfortable for me to use among all the key design.
The LK optical axis keyboard of Blood Hand Ghost is very popular for its characteristics of fast triggering, stable tapping, and durability. This flagship T98 is a big step in innovation. In addition to the key life of 100 million times, it also provides players with 3 levels of adjustable travel, namely 2.0mm (player 1, LT key corresponds to Blu-ray), 1.5mm ( Player 2, LT key corresponds to yellow light) and 1.0mm (Player 3, LT key corresponds to red light).
The red backlight of the keyboard when the player 3 presses the keyboard:
Bright yellow backlight when player 2 presses the keyboard:
3 trips with different trigger pressures can meet the needs of our diverse scenarios of gaming and typing. Just like the official description, it has the mechanical feel of the red switch and the smoothness and quietness of the pink switch. Just press the LT button to switch freely between the 3 gears. There is no need to plug and replace the shaft body in the whole process.
A close-up of the LT key at the top right position: the keycap is specially designed to be eye-catching red, and the different gear strokes can be known through the backlight of different colors. A column of indicator lights next to it are game mode, number keypad and uppercase and lowercase status respectively.
In addition to the 3-speed adjustable stroke, the LT optical axis used by the Bloody Ghost T98 is quite good in hand. The total stroke of the axis body is 3.8mm, and the initial trigger pressure is 45gf. It is a linear axis that goes straight up and down. , The sound-absorbing sponge is added inside the keyboard, so there will be no particularly loud sound when tapping, and its mute effect is very good, and it will not affect TA people during games and codewords.
The nameplate flower logo on the lower right corner of the keyboard is very beautiful. If it can be made into a light-transmitting design, it will definitely improve the visual perception.
The top position of the back of the keyboard is designed in a "T" shape, that is to say, not only the center, but also the left and right ends of the keyboard can go out in three directions. In addition, the bottom of the back of the keyboard is also designed with a drain hole, and with the internal PCB nano-scale waterproof coating, it can avoid certain damage when encountering liquid invasion.
The keyboard adopts the current popular cable separation design, the mainstream Type-C socket, and it is very convenient to replace the cable. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the wire after it is plugged in, a deep groove with a limit is specially made. The details are still very intimate.
The symmetrical bracket has two sections, and the height of the keyboard itself can be adjusted in three sections. You can adjust it freely according to your own preferences.
The exposed screw holes of the keyboard are also blocked by rubber plugs, which is not only beautiful, but also increases the friction of the chassis, and the keyboard will not move back and forth on a smooth desktop.
3. Experience:
In terms of measured game performance, first of all, the full key of the keyboard has no impact, which can effectively avoid misoperation during the game, so as to obtain a more immersive experience. After playing a few rounds of CS and LOL, when switching to player 2 (1.5mm), the LK optical axis fires quickly, the low-latency characteristics are sufficient for various micro-management, the buttons are responsive, the tapping is clean, and the operation is flexible enough.
And when I further switch the stroke to 1.0mm (Player 3), its speed can be described as "thunderbolt". Veterans who often play games can directly adjust to 1.0mm to experience the smoothness during the game. For players like me who occasionally play games to adjust their lives, it is enough to open it to 1.5mm. Let you dodge and move, and even the moves are like flowing clouds and flowing water, all in one go. This kind of carefree feeling is very comfortable.
In daily office coding, you can use the default player 1 (2mm). It feels smooth and smooth, light and labor-saving, and it is easy to type. And the sound is very small when tapping, and there is no crackling sound. I like to code in the dead of night. When using this keyboard, it will not affect my family. The mute performance is really good. In addition, compared with the latter two gears, it can also reduce the situation of false touches.
Keycap close-up: The keycaps installed by default have good light emitting performance, and the square center has a cut-off design, which complements the tough style of the keyboard as a whole, and the hitting feel is also good. In order to distinguish the trigger strokes of different gears, the keyboard does not have RGB color animation, only the corresponding three backlight effects, but it is also intuitive. Moreover, the look and feel under different color lighting effects is still good. The backlight is soft and not glaring, and the characters themselves are not too obvious. However, with the blessing of the backlight, the characters on different keys can be clearly distinguished at night.
Summary: As a mechanical keyboard specially designed for players, the overall performance of the Bloody Ghost T98 is still surprising. The excellent feel of the LK optical axis combined with 3 different trigger strokes can meet diversified needs. The 98-key arrangement is both compact and full-featured, and the pixel-style appearance is calm and generous. The 25 game-specific keycaps that come with it can be called "know me". All of the above, coupled with its consistent high cost performance, I personally recommend it very much. It is reported that there will be joint themes and more rich keycaps in the future, so look forward to it.
During this year's National Day holiday, because of the impact of the epidemic and playing around, I stayed at home honestly for 7 days. I was bored in my free time, and with the mentality of giving it a try, I bought a mechanical keyboard that I had never touched a brand before.
This time I started with Durga's K310 mechanical keyboard. I have heard before that Dujia’s products focus on the perfect balance between cost performance and keyboard feel, and they have a good reputation in the player circle, and this K310 is an original cherry silver switch that I have never experienced before, so I hold it With a very curious mind, I want to know, what is the quality of this cost-effective product?
The packaging box of Dujia K310 is very simple, with a large black front and a large back, and the sides are all in blue style. The ordinary paper packaging box is simple and environmentally friendly. Durga's English brand LOGO is "DURGOD".
K310 belongs to the "TAURUS" Taurus series, the main control of the keyboard is an ARM 32-bit processor, the return refresh rate is 1000Hz, WIN lock and other functions are all available, and it is compatible with the Zeus driver dedicated to Dujia.
The K310 uses the original cherry silver shaft as the shaft body. In order to take into account the individuality and stability, it chooses the color of Cangluan ink. As the main cost-effective basic keyboard, due to the cost and selling price, RGB lighting effect, wrist rest, etc. are not included.
unpack
The keyboard comes with a transparent plastic dust cover, which can be used to protect the keyboard at ordinary times, which is more considerate and not a disposable item.
Accessories include: 1 USB A-A data cable, 1 USB A-C data cable, 1 steel wire key switch and special strap.
This K310 keyboard as a whole gives people a very fresh feeling. This keyboard is named "Cang Luan Mo", which gives people a very mysterious feeling. In fact, it is a combination of black keycaps and dark green keycaps, which is very similar to Cangshan The deep green feeling of the forest is full of it. Because it is not like the simple and elegant style of white or pure black, nor is it the bright gaming style, it feels very refreshing.
The keyboard adopts a 104-key design and a narrow frame style. The overall style is relatively compact, which is suitable for students and office workers with tight desktop space.
Most of the multi-function keys from F1 to F12 are endowed with multimedia control functions, which can be realized through the "FN+" control method.
There are 5 indicator lights on the upper right of the keyboard, which are more comprehensive and personalized than the 3 lights on the general keyboard.
The four borders of the keyboard are made of dark green ABS material, which is very simple.
DURGOD LOGO is engraved in the lower right corner.
There is a three-way cable storage slot on the back of the keyboard, which can store redundant data cables and make the desktop more tidy. There are also guide grooves for the data cable and the keyboard connection port to ensure a firm connection.
In order to meet the requirements of different players for the slope of the keyboard, the K310 can realize three-stage height adjustment through the feet on the back of the keyboard.
high
The K310 keyboard adopts the OEM height stepped keycap as a whole, which is 2mm higher than the original height, which is more ergonomic when pressed, can be triggered earlier and faster, and has a better trigger feel.
In addition, the steel plate of the keyboard also strengthens the clear feedback for the percussion trigger, which improves the feel a lot.
keycap
The keycaps are made of PBT material, which are black and dark green according to different positions. The advantage of PBT is that it is durable, and it is not easy to get oily after long-term use. The finger touches the keycap with a harsh feeling, which can have greater friction and a more delicate feel.
Shaft
The keyboard adopts the German-made CHERRY MX silver switch body, also known as "silver switch", which is similar to the red switch, but not exactly the same.
The feel of the silver switch and the original red switch is the same: they both have a straight up and down linear feel, there is no obvious sense of transition when triggered, and they both have the same trigger pressure of 45g.
The difference between the silver switch and the original red switch is that the trigger stroke is different. Compared with the 2mm trigger stroke of the original red switch, the trigger stroke of the MX silver switch is only 1.2mm. The trigger stroke difference between the two axes is 0.8mm, because the height difference between the two axes is 0.8mm, and the total stroke is reduced from 4.0mm to 3.2mm. From a structural point of view, this enables the silver switch to be triggered earlier and has a faster response time. Whether it is typing or FPS, MOBA and other e-sports scenes, it can have a better feel.
Large keys such as space adopt a satellite shaft structure, which is more reliable, but the feel is not as crisp and sharp as the balance bar. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and everyone has a different opinion.
In addition, Durga also has its own dedicated Zeus driver, which can realize rich control functions, such as key disabling, macro commands, and lighting control. However, this K310 is a matte version, so I cannot show you the RGB function here.
Generally speaking, the overall feel of this K310 keyboard is very good, giving people a very "stable" feeling. What is "stable"? First of all, the appearance is generous and the color is calm, which is suitable for office workers. Secondly, the hand feels very stable, and the probability of mishitting is very low. Mainly due to: PBT keycaps and precise molds, the PBT keyboard has a delicate touch with slight friction, which makes the touch of the keycap feel very "stable". The assembly precision of the switch body and PCB, steel plate, etc. is very high, and the workmanship is excellent. The keyboard and the switch body are straight up and down during use, and there is no side-to-side shaking, and the switch body is very "stable".
The only shortcoming is that the big space key can be replaced by a green axis!
