Although we are an IT company, it can be said that the equipment we use ourselves has been repaired for another three years. As for the new three years and the old three years, they are all in the hands of others. Some of the keys on the previous keyboard didn’t work, and some of them didn’t respond, so I dug out a newer keyboard from the warehouse, but the ctrl gets stuck, which is very annoying. I have always used gaming mice and mechanical keyboards at home, and the feel is much better than those of the company. So this time I just bought the S510N mechanical keyboard of the bloody ghost. I chose the green switch. This keyboard uses the custom switch of the bloody ghost and a 104-key arrangement. Iridescent backlight. The upper left corner of the box of the bloody ghost S510N mechanical keyboard is the brand logo of the bloody ghost, the middle is the rendering of the keyboard, the lower left corner is the model and functional characteristics, and the lower right corner is marked with the type of shaft. The back of the box introduces the functional characteristics of the keyboard, the functional characteristics of the bloody ghost BLMS custom mechanical switch, and the specifications of different switches. In the box, in addition to the bloody ghost S510N mechanical keyboard body, there are 9 black-themed keycaps and key pullers for replacement, and a quick operation guide. The bloody hand ghost S510N mechanical keyboard has a 104-key arrangement, and the keys are designed in a floating island style. This is my favorite design, because it will be more convenient to clean the keyboard. The keycaps are a classic black and red match. The three-dimensional body is 44.6*13.2*3.7cm, On the top of the arrow keys, the brand logo of the bloody ghost is designed, and the panel on the keyboard has a good feel and texture. Moreover, the bloody ghost S510N mechanical keyboard also moved the common indicator light in the upper right corner to the left, and added a game mode indicator light. It looks more unique. The bloody hand ghost S510N mechanical keyboard uses a ladder-shaped keycap, which is a two-color injection-molded two-color light keycap at one time. It feels delicate and comfortable to tap. Such a trapezoidal keycap layout is more ergonomic and more comfortable when typing. Both sides of the lower edge of the keycap are designed with beveled edges, which can reduce the chance of accidental touch with fingertips. This design is very practical. In addition, the Bloody Ghost S510N mechanical keyboard is compatible with most DIY keycaps. Remove the keycap with a key puller, you can see that it is a BLMS blue switch, the total stroke is 4mm, the trigger stroke is 2.0±0.6mm, the step stroke is 1.8mm, the initial pressure is 30gf Min, the trigger pressure is 50±10 gf, and the step pressure is 60± 10gf. The green axis has a strong sense of paragraph, and the tapping sound is crisp and clear. It is very rhythmic when coding in the office, which can effectively improve the efficiency of coding. The bottom four corners of the keyboard are designed with non-slip rubber pads to keep the keyboard stable when in use. The left and right sides are also designed with folding brackets, which can raise the front of the keyboard, so that the tilt angle of the keyboard is ergonomic. There are also key pullers and 9 black keycaps for replacement in the accessories. After replacement, the Bloody Ghost S510N mechanical keyboard will become an all-black theme. After connecting the Bloody Ghost S510N mechanical keyboard to the computer, the backlight of the keyboard will automatically light up, and the effect of the iridescent backlight is quite good. After the keycaps are removed, you can see the different backlight colors in different areas more clearly. When the light is strong during the day, the lighting effect will be a bit inconspicuous, but when the light is weak or at night, the lighting effect will be very cool. up. The bloody ghost S510N mechanical keyboard has preset 10 lighting effects, and the lighting effect mode can be switched by Fn+0-9 numbers. The following is a partial lighting effect display: The bloody hand ghost S510N mechanical keyboard can also download the key control book through the official website to achieve more functions. After installing the key control book and starting it, the firmware of the keyboard is updated first, and the core is activated. The programming effect of Hongmi and Oscar is comparable to that of plug-ins. It records multiple operations of the keyboard completely, and then assigns a button or a combination of keys to release all the recorded operations with one click. For some FTG and ACT games with more complicated operations That said, this effect is very useful. On the button page, a single button can realize the functions of other buttons or combination keys, which is also very practical. The game anti-disturb function can prevent the game from being switched to the desktop when some keys or key combinations are pressed. This function must be turned on when playing competitive games. It is possible that the few seconds of switching will affect the outcome of the game. As a game enthusiast, the computer is full of various games, and I want to play every game, but the busy work and trivial matters of life have greatly reduced my time to play games, but as long as I have time, I will still play some games. Yes, "CS: GO" is a daily routine, and I will play with my colleagues. "Far Cry 6" has been playing recently, and the main storyline is at the end, so now I am clearing side missions, quite a lot. Bloody Ghost S510N mechanical keyboard has an excellent typing feel. Although it has a sense of paragraph, it will not hinder the game at all. The RGB lighting effect allows me to see every character on the keyboard clearly without turning on the light at night. The game prevents disturbance The key combination, Hongmi and Oscar can operate some fixed combinations, such as buying guns in "CS: GO", running in "Far Cry 6", etc. The operation of multiple buttons or combined buttons can be completed with one button, and the operation is more convenient. In addition to the smooth operation of the game, the Bloody Ghost S510N mechanical keyboard is more suitable for office use. The crisp knocking sound when coding is really exciting, the more clever the more smooth, and the bevel design on the lower edge of the keycap almost eliminates the probability of accidental touch. Overall. The bloody ghost S510N mechanical keyboard not only has a cool appearance, but also has dazzling lighting effects. The BLMS mechanical axis feels good, has a long life, and has rich functions. Overall, I am very satisfied with the bloody ghost S510N mechanical keyboard. If there is one more axis The body can be replaced, and the playability is even higher. This is a cost-effective mechanical keyboard.

Recently, I have been typing a lot, and the desktop area is relatively small. The previous 108-key keyboard took up a lot of space, so I replaced it with the new X4 keyboard from Black Canyon, which is wired plus 2.4G dual-mode, with keyboard backlight, and magnetic wrist rest. With a plastic dust cover, and best of all, it's a compact-class layout with a numeric keypad in a small footprint. The version selected this time is black and white keycap color matching and Kaihua blue switch. Kaihua's blue switch has the strongest paragraph sense, the strongest mechanical sense, and a full sense of typing rhythm, but the blue switch is the most noisy when used. Lan Kaihua's switch has a refreshing and crisp sense of paragraph, plus the unique "click" sound, it is a very good enjoyment to type when you don't disturb the people around you, but because of the very strong sense of paragraph of the blue switch, it is very Few gamers choose to use blue-axis mechanical keyboards, and more office users choose to use them. Users like me who type a lot are one of the target customer groups of Kaihua Blue Axis. I deliberately took the previous picture under warm yellow light. This picture is its original color. Its original color tone should be pure white, but only the upper part of the keycap is made of pure white color. Half of it is black, and it looks like a floating keycap at first glance. The first reaction I got when I got the packaging box of Black Canyon, I thought it was an 87-key layout keyboard, but after opening it, I realized that it was a 99-key keyboard. The Black Canyon X4 keyboard comes with two useful things: a fully matching magnetic wrist rest and a plastic dust cover. More and more keyboards come standard with plastic dust covers, but few keyboards come standard with wrist rests. The interface of the Black Canyon X4 keyboard is a Type-C interface, which has two functions: wired connection and charging the keyboard. Because the Black Canyon X4 keyboard is a dual-mode keyboard (2.4G/wired), it is dual-purpose. The Type-C interface should be the most widely adapted interface at present. The 2.4G receiver is placed on the back of the keyboard, and there is a dedicated storage slot design, which is great, so you don’t have to worry about the storage of the receiver. The two-stage foot support adapts to the typing habits of different people, and a physical switch button is used to switch the keyboard. (Tip: Black Canyon X4 keyboard can also be directly plugged into the Type-C cable to use the wired mode when the power is not turned on). In wireless mode, the power display is displayed by three small lights next to the ESC key on the keyboard. In addition to the two-stage foot support design, the Black Canyon X4 keyboard also has an ergonomic curved surface design, which fits the curve of the hand very well when typing. The keycaps on the photo are actually a little deceptive, it looks like a floating keycap, but it is actually a standard OEM height keycap, only the upper part is made of white, and the lower part is made of black, so both the appearance and the The closure used. The version I bought this time is the sky blue switch body of Kaihua’s new BOX switch, the paragraph switch, which feels more like the blue switch of the typewriter version. Different from Cherry, domestic shaft manufacturers like Kaihua have been insisting on developing new shafts. They have developed a lot of new shafts in the range of paragraph shafts and linear shafts. The naming of various shafts It has completely surpassed the category of color. The feel of the sky blue BOX switch is similar to that of the green switch, with a trigger pressure of 45g, a trigger of 1.8mm and a total stroke of 3.6mm. The Cherry MX switch is a product of the 1980s and has a history of more than 30 years. It can fully meet people's use in ten or even twenty years based on people's requirements for keyboard performance at that time, but in the second decade of the 21st century In 2019, the popularity of the Internet and the popularity of e-sports drew people's attention to the mechanical keyboard, a "magic toy" with various shapes, especially the combination of high-value, high-quality Versailles culture and faster, higher and stronger competitive spirit. After that, the requirements of players and enthusiasts for mechanical keyboards increased exponentially. The structural shortcomings of Cherry MX switches such as low life, poor waterproof and dustproof, and poor stability undoubtedly hindered the rapid development of the industry. unprecedented attention. The new sky blue BOX shaft is upgraded to 100 million times of service life on the basis of the original BOX shaft, which is more durable and reliable. It is worth mentioning that the BOX shaft has a sealed dust cover, which has the effect of dustproof and waterproof, so that the BOX shaft can eliminate interference factors and achieve a long life. What consumers may not have considered, Kaihua has considered. The new Kaihua sky blue switch used in the Black Canyon X4 keyboard perfectly meets the needs of writers in terms of feel, and has a super striking feel, just like typing on a typewriter. Of course, the problem is that it is a bit noisy, which is the same as a typewriter, so this keyboard is actually only suitable for one person to use in the study. Fortunately, I am also alone hehehe, so I can let go of myself and type. The typing experience of a keyboard with a wrist rest is indeed a level better than that of a keyboard without a wrist rest. In fact, when I bought a mechanical keyboard before, I always put something on my wrist, which can relieve the fatigue after typing for a long time. So in fact, whether to wear a wrist rest or not is an important factor for me to decide whether to buy it or not. The wrist rest of the Black Canyon X4 keyboard is also a detachable design, assembled as a magnetic adsorption, and it is very convenient to disassemble and assemble. Because it is a black and white color design, the visual thickness is actually much smaller than its actual thickness, which makes the whole keyboard a little more agile. Finally, I put a display picture of my typing desktop, with a white desktop and a white keyboard under the warm yellow light, and after taking a shower, I comfortably wiped my hair and sat in front of the computer to type and write articles, feeling like the typewriter coming from the fingertips The touch is a pleasure.

No matter what posture you play on and what platform you play, "input" is a very important part of the gaming experience. Whether it is ABXY on the handle or WASD on the keyboard, even in the smartphone industry where it is difficult to install physical buttons due to size, various manufacturers have made various attempts to improve the player experience. When it comes to improving the input experience, the mechanical keyboard is a topic that cannot be avoided. Compared with cheap membrane keyboards with one-piece conductive film, each key of a mechanical keyboard is controlled by an independent hardware switch, so even the cheapest mechanical keyboard can have better customizability. The feel is far superior to most membrane keyboards. Whether you are a gamer or a working soldier, an excellent mechanical keyboard is a combat power multiplier. In the world of mechanical keyboards, there is a company with a very famous name: CHERRY. If you have ever purchased a mechanical keyboard, you must have heard of the five switches of black, white, green tea and red, and they all come from CHERRY company. Even if the keyboard you use does not use these five types of switches, their dimensions are consistent with those of the CHERRY switches, or in other words, various changes are made based on these switches. It can be said that without CHERRY, there would be no current mechanical keyboard market. CHERRY's first patent on mechanical keyboard shafts was registered in the United States on February 6, 1973, with the patent number US4467160A. This patent laid the foundation for CHERRY to enter the keyboard market, and it is produced in CHERRY facilities in different countries, including the M5 and M6 series made in the United States and Japan and the M7 series made in Germany. Interestingly, CHERRY’s commercial promotion of this set of switches, corresponding keyboards and key modules started at least in December 1971, which means that the actual production and R&D time can even be traced back to the 1960s. It has a long history. Because they are produced in different countries, these series of products are different in appearance, size, and packaging, so for end users like you and me, the customization is basically zero. Nevertheless, I believe readers can easily see that these products are already very close to the legendary MX series shafts in form. That's right, the MX axis body is its direct successor. A major feature of the M series switch body is that it encapsulates the movable part (that is, the part where the keycap actually presses down) in the switch body, which can not only prevent the movable part from being displaced due to the accumulated wear and tear over time. trigger, it can also prevent dust from entering the shaft body, which can effectively prolong the service life. In addition to CHERRY's own key modules and keyboards (such as the extremely classic CHERRY G80, yes, the G80 keyboard is even older than the MX switch), this series of switches is still in classic models like the HP 9830A get used. CHERRYMX: The Way of ZTE On August 6, 1982, with the official approval of the German Federal Patent DE3229465A1, the era of mechanical keyboards as we know them today officially began. The earliest MX switch is a kind of switch without obvious sense of paragraph and resistance. According to the current classification system, it is a black switch. Its use experience is similar to that of the previous M series switch, but the reliability is further improved to two. Thousands of times. However, the basic design principles of the MX axle body that we are familiar with have all emerged. In principle, the principle of the CHERRY MX axis is very simple. The movable module is connected with a spring. When the user presses the button, the two gold-plated metal plates are closed to form a loop, so the keyboard PCB can send a signal corresponding to the button to the computer; the spring rebounds, the movable module rises, and the two metal plates cannot be closed. ,no signal. So simple, so reliable, and full of room for specialization and modding, it's no wonder it's become the de facto industry standard in the mechanical keyboard world. Now that we talk about specialization and magic reform, we have to mention various axes. Technically speaking, there are essentially only three types of differences between different axes: 1. How hard to press 2. Is there a sense of paragraph 3. Is there an obvious rebound sound The strength can be controlled from the weight of the shaft body, the key travel, etc., the sense of paragraph can also be achieved through the double-layer shaft cap, and the rebound sound is controlled through lubrication. The simple control variable brings more than ten kinds of completely different shaft variables. Users can choose the most suitable shaft according to their needs and usage habits. For example, the "black, white, green tea red" we mentioned earlier, these five colors represent five different button styles. Moreover, the biggest feature of CHERRY MX is that it provides a variety of shafts with different feel while completely unifying the size of different shafts, which means that players and manufacturers finally have the ability to change shafts on one PCB. More keyboard options are easily provided, and due to the unified form factor and cross contact surface, mass-produced universal replaceable keycaps are also possible, allowing users to further personalize their keyboards. At the same time, with the advancement of technology, the MX axis can also provide additional functions and features such as independent LED backlight and tilt angle, which further broadens its market scope. Of course, only one shaft is useless. Along with the popularity of IBM PC compatibles and Apple Macintosh machines in homes, businesses, schools and government agencies in the 1980s, the G80 keyboard equipped with CHERRY MX black switches was launched in 1984, and the G80-3000 released in 1988 was the keyboard industry leader. evergreen tree. It is still produced and sold today. Except for the addition of two new Windows keys and a more modern color scheme, the keyboard you buy in 2023 is exactly the same thing as the keyboard nearly fifty years ago. It can only be said that a classic is a classic, forever. Not out of date. Fast forward to the new millennium, and while membrane keyboards rule the entry-level market, mechanical keyboards still hold their own in the mid-to-high end thanks to their superior typing experience. At the same time, with the development of electronic games, especially the development of large-scale MMORPG and e-sports, players also began to pursue a better input experience. In 2005, SteelSeries launched a 6G gaming mechanical keyboard with CHERRY MX black switches, which is also the world’s first mechanical keyboard developed for gamers. Peripheral manufacturers such as Corsair and Razer have also followed up steadily, making the The game mechanical keyboard with CHERRY MX switch is like a spark that ignited all over the world in an instant. Almost all players who have requirements for gaming experience have quickly changed to mechanical keyboards. Due to the gradual expiration of the two main patents of MX keyboard switches (US4467160 registered in the United States and the German patent DE3229465A1 mentioned above), the self-developed switches of various keyboard manufacturers have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. scene. Market competition will bring technological progress, and for CHERRY, which occupies the dominant position in the mechanical keyboard market, how to make the next step of innovation on the already mature MX axis technology is naturally a very exciting issue. CHERRY's first ax was the RGB switch in 2014, which debuted on the Corsair K70 RGB keyboard. Although the CHERRY MX axis body has long supported the use of LED backlights, this in-line backlight not only illuminates unevenly, but can only illuminate a part of the area, and the color is also limited. It is naturally sufficient for daily office work, but it is still tasteless for gamers. Compared with the ordinary CHERRY MX switch, the biggest feature of the RGB version is that the switch body adopts a partially translucent design. With the additional installation of light-emitting diodes, it realizes a 16.8 million-color RGB experience that can be independently programmed. The lighting is set to what you want most to enhance the sense of substitution during the game. The second ax is the Low Profile launched in 2018, that is, the low-size shaft. The MX axis feels good, but the thickness of nearly 20mm plus the PCB and support structure means that the height of the mechanical keyboard is difficult to control. Naturally, it is not a big problem for most people, but there are also many consumers who hope that the keyboard can be thinner, lighter and more portable. Therefore, CHERRY MX Low Profile came into being. It can be seen from the schematic diagram that the size of the Low Profile shaft has been cut from the original 18.5mm to less than 11.9mm. With the shorter keycap, it can effectively control the overall height of the keyboard and increase the speed of key triggering. Take the Corsair K70 RGB Mk.2 Low Profile keyboard equipped with this shaft as an example. With the highly optimized aluminum frame and keycaps, the overall height of the keyboard is controlled at less than 29mm, which is about 40mm higher than that of a general mechanical keyboard. This is a very practical update for those users who have portable needs. This last resort is the Ultra Low Profile shaft. The 11.9mm thick Low Profile shaft is naturally sufficient for desktop keyboards, but with the development of notebook computers in recent years, many consumers have begun to use notebook computers as their only work equipment, and of course they will also be interested in better keyboards. Enter Experience to make the request. Of course, laptops with mechanical keyboards, while uncommon, haven't existed. For example, MSI’s GT83 Titan, a heavy-duty brick game, has launched a model equipped with a complete CHERRY MX shaft, but as a price, the thickness of the whole machine has reached about 60mm. It is obviously not suitable in a high market environment. And considering the necessary PCB and support height, the advantages of the Low Profile shaft body can only be said to be better than nothing. Therefore, the Ultra Low Profile shaft came into being. In order to press the thickness of the shaft body to an astonishing 3.5mm, the CHERRY team needs to solve a lot of engineering problems, such as how to ensure the sense of paragraph and the unique rebound of mechanical keyboards. In the end, the team decided to overthrow the entire design and start over, adopting a supercar-like gull-wing door design, while retaining the unique precision and touch of a mechanical keyboard, while allowing the overall size to fit the design of a modern laptop. The result is this set of CHERRY MX Ultra Low Profile shafts. This set of shafts met consumers for the first time in the Alienware m15/m17 R4 model in 2021, which amazed the audience with its excellent feel. Since then, Alienware, as well as this year's mainstream gaming G series, have begun to provide optional CHERRY MX mechanical keyboard options. In addition to manipulating the shape of the keyboard, the diversity of the switch body is another strength of CHERRY. For example, two brand new switches, MX ERGO Clear and MX BLACK Clear Top, will be released in November 2022, respectively named Yu and Mo by the player community. The characteristic of this set of axes is not only the localized naming with an ancient atmosphere of books, but also the characteristic feel brought by the mix and match of the classic five axes. The jade axis is delicate and moist, and the ink axis is smooth but flexible. As a brand-new axis for the enthusiast community, it is quite competitive in the market. CHERRY MX2.0, 3.0 and other classic keyboards equipped with jade switches will also be launched in the near future on the 70th anniversary of CHERRY, bringing more choices to players. From a garage company in Illinois to a multinational factory with offices all over the world, CHERRY's 70 years have not only been dedicated to the study of basic technologies, but also deeply bound to the wave of computers and information technology. The small keyboard carries the continuous pursuit of input feel by generations of engineers and enthusiasts. Even if the continuous advancement of technology and the constant change of consumer demand put forward more requirements under the motif of the keyboard, I believe that CHERRY can gain a firm foothold by virtue of its sufficient historical accumulation in this field, and bring more and more products to generations of users. Many surprises and innovations.
