Hello everyone, a few days ago Zha Zha wrote an article "It doesn't seem so difficult to make a good keyboard", and shared with you some product trends of domestic brand keyboards and the status quo of involution. And recently, I also received an MX LP2.0 low-axis mechanical keyboard from Cherry. Today we might as well change our perspective and talk about why manufacturers with stronger comprehensive strengths like Cherry, Logitech, and Corsair are so good at feeling. Always "almost mean".

Regarding the bad feel of the big manufacturers, there is still some paradox—these brands have strong R&D strength and funds, and it seems that it is not particularly difficult to adjust the keyboard. What's more, there is basically a standard answer for mass-produced brands to improve the feel. How can there be only a handful of mass-produced major brands that do this small thing well?

Regarding this problem, I slag made up some reasons why domestic manufacturers cannot do it in the previous article: for example, it is difficult to automate the process of moisturizing the satellite axis, and another example is the cycle sharing rate of the mold cost of the self-owned factory, etc. As for the first-tier brands that adopt the OEM processing model, it seems that these reasons for brain supplementation are not valid-at the price range of these brands, they have enough profits to support their products to achieve an excellent feel that is more recognized by the market, and they also have more The confidence to go to the PUA foundry, forcing the factory to improve product details.

For example, Cherry brand keyboards, compared to our hatred of Cherry switches, some of Cherry’s finished keyboards, especially the product level of the MX series, can be said without hesitation—the MX series has been developed since the earliest 8.0 and 9.0. Filled with a strong earthy Shamat style, this kind of product positioning with full IQ and taxes is also very inconsistent with Cherry's position in the industry. The following new MX series, especially the new wireless keyboards, have indeed made great progress in the overall style, but their outrageous market prices and extreme marketing terms are also difficult for consumers to accept. In this regard, my personal attitude has always been abhorrent.

From another perspective, we must at least admit that, as a leading manufacturer in the industry, Cherry's product and R&D teams should be able to keep abreast of the current mainstream keyboard development trends—so this time the MX-LP 2.1 low-axis keyboard looks It is still a continuation of the Cherry keyboard style in recent years, but on the other hand, it also expresses Cherry's exploration and compromise on the market more strongly-contrasting color keycaps, short switches, compact layout, etc. are all Cherry in everyone's previous impressions. missing elements.

The quality of the MX-LP2.1 keyboard itself is not too much to introduce. As a compact low-axis keyboard with a price of 700+, the overall feel of the MX-LP2.1 is complete, compared with the previous few short keyboards. There is still a certain gap between the shaft benchmarks - the steel wire sound of the large keys and the friction sound in the shaft stroke still exist, and there is still a relatively obvious cavity sound. The lack of these details still belongs to the category of the problem we raised at the beginning: Cherry They still haven't done these small details well, but it doesn't mean they are incapable of doing it well - the metal version MX-LP6.1 of the same series has an internal sandwich filling, and the overall feel and texture are much better.

The overall appearance design of MX-LP2.1 can be called excellent - the floating rounded rectangle looks elegant and simple, the keycaps are excellent in workmanship, the characters are clear and durable, although the color matching is a bit abrupt, but for Cherry, it is enough to be called That's huge progress.

In addition, MX-LP2.1 still has some flaws in the product details - as a compact keyboard with a short shaft and a large flat keycap, there is no kick design at the bottom, and the ease of use is not even as good as Dareu's EK868. It makes people feel a little unbelievable. The most likely reason is that MX-LP2.1 was developed as a low-profile derivative version of metal MX-LP6.1 at the beginning of research and development, and metal keyboards are naturally inconvenient to design feet, so there is no need to separately Designed with feet.

Next, close the topic and talk about the pricing of the MX-LP2.1 keyboard and some of it. First of all, it needs to be clear that the price of this low-axis keyboard priced at 1,099 yuan has stabilized in the 700 yuan range after one month on the market. Compared with Cherry’s previous products, this price is basically a normal price. If you consider the brand power Plus, it's not really that expensive. However, by horizontal comparison, we can find that the current compact layout low-axis keyboard market has been firmly occupied by Keychron and Nuphy, while the higher-end market includes Logitech’s G913, and the sinking market also includes Dareu EK868 and IKBC S200.

As far as the current product strength of MX-LP2.1 is concerned, it is not easy to get involved in the compact low-axis market and get a piece of the pie, but on the other hand, Cherry does not seem to worry about sales—in the recent promotional nodes, No matter how the domestic keyboard manufacturers compete inwardly, Cherry will always have a place at the top of the list. Only relying on the reputation of the brand and the original factory can easily gain faith and orders, which is better than those with excellent switches. The domestic brands should be simple and crude - I don't care what kind of gold powder, fast silver tiger you are, I'm the original factory, that's enough.

So back to the original question, why the keyboards of manufacturers like Cherry, Logitech, and Corsair are always "almost meaningless" in terms of feel. Rather than looking for reasons in R&D, foundries, and supply chains, it is better to admit frankly that most users, especially those who are not sensitive to prices only looking at top international brands, often do not perceive the so-called steel wire. Tone, Run axis, feel and other issues. As for these leading brands, their research and development capabilities are often concentrated on the technical side - better optical axis, more stable wireless connection, higher polling rate and more complete ecology are the priorities of these brands. , maybe in the eyes of the RDs of these brands, focusing on the structure and feel is only something that domestic brands that cannot survive will do.

作为一枚杜伽粉，喜欢它扎实的做工和好看的款型，一直在等它出一款带RGB灯效的键盘，这次倒好，一出出一套，果断入手试试。这次就来给大家分享灯效超级棒的GK90&GM90电竞键鼠套装，一起来看看。

The black and orange color of the packaging is very good-looking, and all the necessary accessories are available. There is an extra wrist rest than the usual Durga.

"I am me, the brightest fireworks", in the dead of night, with the company of this twilight, the desktop is no longer monotonous, and workers can enjoy the immersion of their own world. A new set of keyboard and mouse brings is more exciting.

This is the joy of more and more people playing mechanical keyboards. Every keyboard and every mouse has its own personality, and this set of keyboard and mouse is a very individual product, not out of the ordinary at all.

From the perspective of appearance design, this set of products is a new bold attempt. Compared with the style of previous Dujia products, it has a relatively large breakthrough. It incorporates a large number of RGB lighting effect elements. The effect of light and shadow is played to the extreme.

Let’s take a look at the keyboard first. The Durga GK90 is a 104-key wired mechanical keyboard. It is also equipped with a fully fitted ice silk wrist rest. The overall size is 502x255.5x47.5mm.

The exterior color is available in black and white. I chose the black and white panda color scheme, which is more refreshing.

The keycap is made of OEM height, fully closed two-color injection molding PBT material, which is more durable and wear-resistant than ordinary ABS material, anti-oiling, and the fingertips feel delicate and smooth.

The keyboard is equipped with a linear optical axis body customized by Jiadalong, with a full stroke of 4.0mm, which can provide a faster response speed. It is crisper and lighter when tapped, and the feedback is very fast. It starts quickly with one press, and it is quite good for playing games. It is indeed a keyboard specially designed for e-sports, but the touch and sound feedback are closer to the red axis.

The life of the Jiadalong optical axis is as high as 8000 times, even gamers with high intensity can use it properly for several years.

The light-transmitting design of the keycap characters allows the ambient light to cover the entire keyboard, monochrome, colored, whatever you want can be adjusted as needed.

Various multi-functional keys are distributed on the keyboard and engraved with icons to facilitate the setting of lighting and shortcut commands.

The light leakage of the keyboard keys has also been well controlled, no matter from which angle you look at it, there will be no glare, and the light effect is very gentle.

The small details are full of sincerity. The independent aluminum alloy roller on the right is designed to facilitate the adjustment of the volume. It does not need to be controlled on the PC side, and the computer can be muted by clicking it.

There are asymmetric lighting designs on the left and right sides of the keyboard. On the left is a grid-shaped light on the front. The lighting effect will rhythm with the sound, which is very interesting.

On the right, there is a very crisp light line on the side, and there is also a beautiful light and shadow projected on the table. No matter from which angle to appreciate it alone, this keyboard is worth pondering, and the overall matching is very coordinated and smart, so I must give the designer a thumbs up!

With Nebula lighting control, it can be controlled independently in any area, and there are all kinds of personalized adjustments. If you want to upgrade to another level, you can also join Razer’s game linkage. It’s quite interesting. Download Durgod Zeus Engine to discover various ways to play. .

The biggest highlight of this keyboard is the lighting, it's really smooth to play! There are 8 modes to choose from, such as rotation, wave, cycle color, and stars, and you can control the key area, side lighting and ambient lighting modes. How can you miss such a fun keyboard.

Like most keyboards with RGB lighting effects, Durga GK90 uses a wired connection. The wire is equipped with a relatively wear-resistant braided wire, and the texture looks very good. Because the keyboard has rich lighting effects, the wired design is also guaranteed. In order to ensure the continuity of the light, there is no need to worry about battery life during use, and it also saves the trouble of frequent charging.

I guess Dujia may release a wireless version in the future to give players more choices. The premise is that there is market demand, so keep a little expectation. Of course, the wired mechanical keyboard is also the favorite of gamers. No delay makes the operation of the game more smooth and impeccable, and it is fun to play.

The back is simple and there are no special surprises. The difference from the past is that this time a one-piece foot support is used.

The matching wrist rest is also unambiguous. Not only does it fit well with the keyboard in shape, but the height is also just right, and the surface is made of ice silk fabric, which is very comfortable. The built-in memory foam has good rebound and support, and is ergonomic. , It is more comfortable than the wooden wrist rest that I bought myself. This is very suitable for players who like to play e-sports. The wrist will not be too tired after playing for a long time. It is also very considerate for writers. When using the keyboard, the wrist will not hang in the air, which relieves the pain when the hand is typing on the keyboard. Tension.

Let’s take a look at the mouse again. Is the shape familiar? I would like to regard it as a tribute to the classic innovation. Dujia has integrated his own style into the simple shape. It is a self-contained series with the GK90 keyboard. Cute and kind of cool. With the lighting, the left-right symmetrical design can meet the usage habits of various players.

GM90 also adopts a 9-button symmetrical design, and two side buttons are designed on the left and right sides of the mouse, so that both left-handed and right-handed users can obtain a comfortable and convenient control experience.

Lightweight design, the weight is about 70g, the wire is also very soft, the whole mouse feels comfortable to use. The side skirts on the left and right sides of the mouse also use an integrated non-slip rubber design, which is suitable even for users with sweaty hands. The button adopts optical micro-motion, which has a fast sending speed, a long life of the button (60 million times), and stable performance.

It supports up to 6200DPI, which should be enough for most gamers. A configuration file switching button is also designed at the bottom of the mouse to facilitate switching between multiple configuration files, which is very practical for e-sports gamers.

In the driver, you can customize the functions of the eight mouse buttons except the left button.

Layers can also be superimposed in the nebula editor. A set of GK90+GM90 works particularly well when used, and it will not be very dazzling. The just right light effect looks comfortable and gives players a good sense of immersion.

Well, the above is the use and sharing of Dujia's latest e-sports kit. Does such an interesting set of wired gaming keyboard and mouse make you like it?

Numiao AM 65 Less personalized mechanical keyboard, which was postponed at the end of last year, is here. Numiao officially released this personalized, compact mechanical keyboard today.
