It’s 2022. If each company’s keyboard doesn’t add a Gasket structure, it feels a bit outdated. Although the feel of this thing varies from person to person, try some new structural designs so that players can try more different experiences. , is also quite good, and the cheap donkey that has been a little quiet these years has recently brought you a newly designed RS2 mechanical keyboard, which not only adds a gasket structure, but also brings a three-mode connection method, 98-like keys The layout also has a volume wheel design that I personally like very much. There are quite a few highlights, so follow me to take a look.
The keyboard packaging adopts a white hard cover design, the design is simple and clear. At the same time, after opening, you will find that the keyboard’s plastic bag inside is printed with a brief instruction manual on the front and back of the keyboard. The packaging becomes an instruction guide. Quite interesting.
There are not many accessories for the keyboard, except for the data cable separated from the key wire, there are also key pullers, shaft pullers, and an instruction manual. The data cable is an L-shaped type-c interface, which is much more convenient for desktop routing. At the same time, it adopts a color design similar to the color of the keyboard, which makes the sense of unity stronger. Although it is guessed that everyone usually only uses it as a charging cable, the design is not bad.
The RS2 keyboard adopts a brand-new key design method. Compared with the usual 98 columns that everyone sees, the cheap donkey RS2 perfectly retains the number keypad with a large 0 after adding an extra column after its own design adjustment. It’s good news for friends who use a lot of numbers. At the same time, a volume wheel button is added to the upper right corner of the keyboard. For me who likes to spin the wheel, it’s a blessing, but for an extra column, except for DEL Other than keys, the other default keys are not quite to my liking.
The RS2 keyboard adopts a wide-frame design as a whole, with gray and white two-color keycaps, which has a retro taste. At the same time, some small designs are added to the side of the keyboard, so that the whole keyboard does not look so monotonous.
The volume scroll button of the keyboard looks like plastic material, but in fact the outer layer is made of alloy material, and the scrolling feel is quite good. At the same time, a calculator shortcut button is added on the left side, which is quite convenient to use in the windows system. At the same time, there are also a large number of shortcut key icons printed on the keycaps of the keys. Even if there is no manual in hand, there will be no problem in using them. At the same time, RS2 also supports shortcut keys for win/mac dual systems. You can switch the windows system through FN+W. FN+M switches the mac system, and the support of dual systems also makes RS2 more adaptable.
The wireless switch and data cable interface of the RS2 keyboard are placed in the center of the top of the keyboard. After the wireless switch is turned on, if the data cable is inserted, only the charging function will be enabled, which has no effect on the wireless connection. At the same time, FN+1234 is Switching between different wireless modes, 1, 2, and 3 respectively represent 3 Bluetooth channels, which can be connected to different Bluetooth devices and switched, FN+4 will switch to 2.4G wireless mode, lower transmission delay, whether it is Whether it is office work or gaming, there is basically no pressure.
The back design of the RS2 keyboard is relatively simple. In addition to the standard two-stage foot support that can bring three sets of different input angles for the keyboard, there is also a place for storing the 2.4G receiver at the bottom of the keyboard. Unfortunately, , does not adopt the design of magnetic suction, but relies on the friction of the mold to fix the receiver. After multiple uses, the friction force will inevitably become smaller, and it will not be able to be stored later. If a magnetic suction can be added to fix it, it will be more convenient safe.
The cheap donkey RS2 supports hot-swappable design, and it is equipped with the switch body from Jiadalong. The Jiadalong tea switch I bought has a clear sense of movement. When I first played the keyboard, I especially liked the sense of movement. The obvious green shaft, but these years I have also begun to like the weak paragraph shaft, and the feel is very comfortable. The stability of the Jiadalong shaft center is also very good. At the same time, the large key position of the keyboard is fixed using the satellite shaft design of the positioning board. It will be very convenient for changing the keycap later, and the Jiadalong shaft body With the support of the keyboard, the feel of the large keys is quite stable, the feel is solid, and the sound feedback is also good.
What surprised me even more this time is the FR4 glass fiber positioning board of the RS2 keyboard. On this positioning board, RS2 has added the key description of the shaft body at each positioning position through the surface process of copper plating and ablation. The design is very thoughtful, and it is very convenient to install the keycaps later. At the same time, the positioning board of RF4 can provide good flexibility and reduce the low-frequency resonance of the keyboard when typing.
At the same time, the RS2 keyboard adopts a gasket structure design. The keyboard positioning plate is not rigidly fixed by screws. The positioning plate is fixed by the rebound material on the edge of the keyboard to achieve the overall fixing effect. The addition of sound-absorbing cotton and under-shaft pads, under the blessing of double noise-cancellation, reduces the cavity sound inside the keyboard. However, looking at the official announcement picture, it is a bit regrettable that there is no padding at the bottom of the keyboard. The RS2's gasket structure feels soft and elastic, which is good for long-time typing.
In terms of keycaps, RS2 uses a set of PBT two-color injection molding retro color keycaps, good two-color injection molding process, with closed character design with good font effect, fine texture on the surface of the keycaps, comfortable feel and durability of the keycaps. It is better than the ABS material that is easy to oil, but the choice of keycaps has always been different from person to person. If you don't like this type of keycap, you can easily change to another set of keycaps.
The backlight of the RS2 keyboard adopts a warm white monochromatic light, but because the keycap is not designed to be transparent, and because of the wireless design of the keyboard, in order to save power and battery life, the light brightness of the general wireless keyboard will be darker, so the light of the keyboard The performance is a bit weaker, but the keyboard itself also supports 17 kinds of lighting effects, and the playability is still good. The keyboard has a built-in 3000mAh battery. According to the official announcement, the battery life can reach about 4 weeks. I am quite looking forward to how much this battery life can achieve.
The RS2 from the cheap donkey was directly equipped with the Gasket soft elastic structure from the beginning, and also added a three-mode wireless connection mode, retro appearance and color matching, hot-swappable structure, multiple noise reduction design, unique all 0 keypad arrangement, fun The unique scroll wheel design is full of sincerity at the first shot, and it is worth a try.
