Many people's mechanical keyboards have been used for a long time, and the keys will fail or the LED lights will not light up. Generally, this situation is caused by the damage of the shaft body or the aging of the LED lamp. You only need to replace the damaged parts to return to normal, but sometimes due to external force or other reasons, the buttons fail or the lights do not turn on, you need to re-solder the corresponding shaft plate to solve the problem. It happened that I used a HyperX in the past two days. Let’s use Aloy’s car with a perforated shaft plate as an example to talk about how to easily find the correct wiring point and repair the hard drive without using a multimeter.

It can be seen that the position of punching this time is on the number 7 key in the small keyboard area.

Turn over to look at the shaft plate, wipe off the solder joints of half of the shaft feet. The difficulty of repairing such a perforated keyboard depends entirely on luck. If the excessive wiring on the PCB is not damaged, fewer keys and lights will be affected, otherwise more keys and lights will be affected. The next step is to determine which keys are affected.

Plug the keyboard directly into the computer, and the three lights will not light up, but don't be too happy, there is one light in the middle, which means that the problem must not be so simple. Let's test the keys first.

Professionals can download a keyboard testing software such as KTU. We only need to test whether the keys are effective, so it is enough to open a web page for testing keys. After a round of testing, as expected, the punched number 7 is indeed out of order. The good news is that apart from the number 7, only the number 4 is affected, so our subsequent repair work will be easier. .

At this time, we stand up the shaft plate, find a wire or other things that can carry electricity, and test the button with electricity.

First test 7, directly short the contacts of the two shaft pins from the rear, which is equivalent to simulating the effect of pressing the button.

It’s amazing, although one of the pivot points has been pinned off in half, it can still be triggered. If you look carefully, the key can’t be used at the beginning because the pin of the silver pivot was completely cut off during drilling. , so, only need to replace a shaft, this key can be repaired without damage. In the next step, we will test the key position of number 4 again.

I forgot to take the picture of directly shorting the two pins of 4, let’s just talk about the result, it will not trigger. So try to connect as shown in the picture below, and short-circuit one of the pins of 4 and the pin of 1 below. Here, be careful not to short-circuit the pins at the same position, and cross-connect them like the one in my picture. It is known that the two pins of key 1 are normal, so if we short-circuit as shown above and no key is triggered, it proves that the pin of number 4 is broken and a flying wire is needed. Then we use the same method to test another point of the number 4.

The test result is not bad, this point is connected, and the number 1 is lit, which shows that the point of the number 4 we tested is collinear with the point of the number 1, but the point of the broken circuit and the number 1 Not collinear. In other words, if we are going to repair the pin that digital 1 did not test, we are done here. But we are repairing the number 4, so the next step is to find other buttons that are in line with the point where the number 4 is disconnected, and then fly on such a line, and the problem will be solved instantly.

Tried around the surrounding points, lit up countless buttons, and finally found that the pin of END and number 4 is collinear.

It can be seen that when these two points are shorted, the number 4 key is triggered. So in the next step, we only need to fly a line to connect the pin that is not tested by the number 4 (the one that confirms the open circuit is not the connected one in the picture), and the pin that is now tested by the END key. This is achieved by pressing the number 4 to automatically trigger the effect. If you directly connect the two points on the picture, it would be interesting. After the keyboard is plugged in, the number 4 key will be in a long-press state. Alright, now that both keys are done, the next step is soldering.

Solder suction device plus hollow needle, easy to get. It is strongly recommended to prepare a hollow needle to assist when removing the shaft, the shaft diameter is 1.2, and the lamp is removed with a diameter of 1.0. It is inevitable that there will be very few cases where the tin suction device is not clean. If you want to rework, you have to fill up the tin and re-operate. With the hollow needle, you only need to simply heat it and insert it to poke it.

Replace with a new shaft body, and the number 7 key will return to normal after normal welding.

The number 4 is simpler, just solder a short enameled wire to connect the two solder joints we just mentioned. So far all the buttons are back to normal, and the maintenance is complete.

Next we'll fix the lights.

Of the four pins of the 4-pin RGB light, three of them control the three colors of RGB respectively, and the extra one is a common pin, some of which are common cathode and some are common anode. If the common pin is broken, the performance is that the light is off. If the color pin is open, the performance is lack of color. If the common pin and the color pin are shorted, the performance is that a certain color is always on. In fact, these are not too important, it is just background knowledge. In actual operation, we still use the old method, connection test.

Here we should pay attention to the shared pin. The RGB lights of this hard drive share the third pin. The method to confirm the shared pin is also very simple. The shared pin is generally longer than other pins. Then I found the pin definition diagram of this REB light. In fact, it doesn’t matter if there is no picture, we only need to know that the color and function of each lamp corresponding to the pin control are the same, and the problem can be found by trying a few times.

When repairing the light, we need something that can act as a mirror to reflect the light, so as to observe the effect of our short circuit. The lights of the keyboard are connected vertically and in parallel, and because the light of the number 4 is on, and the hole of the number 7 is interrupted, so the first step we test is to short the common pin of the two lights, that is, What happens on the third foot.

Sure enough, the light turned on. Although the color was wrong, a good start was half the battle. This proved that the shared pin was indeed broken. Let me tell you here, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know which is the shared pin, the big deal is to short-circuit and try from 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4 in this order, and you will find the problem after up to four times. Then there is welding, which is different from repairing buttons. We have to test welding once, so that we can carry out the following test.

Soldering is very simple, like this, the enameled wire flies a bit, and it's done.

At this time, when we observe, we will find that these keys with wrong colors are lacking in color. When the other lights are pink, they are blue, which is the lack of red. We test the effect of shorting the red pin.

Facts have proved that it works, except for one light with the wrong color, everything else is normal.

What are you waiting for? Keep flying!

Our next step is to look at the last stubborn light. At present, it seems that the problem of this lamp is not an open circuit, but a short circuit. Some two or three circuits are shorted, causing the displayed color to be inconsistent with other lamps. For this situation, there are two solutions: the first one is more foolish, remove all four pins, then insulate the interface of the shaft plate, and fly four wires to the lamp pin of any normal lamp in this row superior. The disadvantage is that it is more troublesome to fix, and I feel that it is more likely to cause problems in the follow-up, such as false connections or short circuits. Another way is to insulate the common leg separately, and then test which way can mix the correct color with other lights. I used the latter method, and first insulated the common pin.

It is not convenient to use thick wires this time, so I soldered a flying lead on the common pin, and then used the other end to test.

Finally, when the second pin of the above light is connected, the light will become normal. (To be honest, I am too lazy to analyze why. It feels like the green and red are short-circuited, so that the green will go all the way alone, so it is normal).

Then use black oil to insulate the pad, and then fly a wire in the air.

Plug in the power and test it, the light is completely normal, get it done.

To be on the safe side, fix the dangling pins with hot glue.

At this point the fix was triumphantly over and a keyboard was brought back to life. Install the bottom case and put on the keycap.

Feel the joy of light pollution.

Now the mechanical keyboard is getting more and more volume, not recently Heijue launched the AK966 three-mode mechanical keyboard, the configuration is full, 98% configuration, Gasket structure, full-key hot-swappable, metal volume knob, 18 types RGB lighting effect, built-in 10000mAh high-capacity battery, and Kaihua MX ice cream switches are also on sale for the first time on this mechanical keyboard. The three color schemes of Senyu, Mengxia and Xingwan are quite beautiful! The price is also very kind, and I personally feel that it can play well in all aspects. Let's find out how the specific performance is through this AK966 three-mode mechanical keyboard.

You can feel the sense of quality that high-end products should have in your hand. The outer packaging is a circle larger than the traditional keyboard, and the weight is also much heavier. The design of the window opening of the outer packaging is very exquisite. Combining creativity, you can see the color of the keyboard inside at a glance.

The transparent keyboard cover has a certain thickness and is more durable. It is just the right size to protect the keyboard tightly and avoid dust intrusion.

Heijue AK966 has three colors: Senyu, Mengxia, and Xingwan. Among them, Senyu moved me. In the recent 40-degree high temperature weather, there is nothing more refreshing than a touch of green.

In terms of accessories, it is very rich and neatly embedded in the sponge pad below. There are 4 types of shaft testers with different shafts, four mac supplementary keycaps, key pullers, replacement metal knobs, and Type-C Braided cable and instructions.

I don’t know that when you use a 108-key mechanical keyboard, some keys are almost never used. In order to save desktop space, a 98-key keyboard layout was born. The Heijue AK966 three-mode mechanical keyboard is a 98-key layout. Product, compared with the 104-key layout keyboard, the 98-key layout saves 20% of the space, giving more freedom to the desktop, in line with the current desk trend.

Although the three-mode mechanical keyboard has 98 keys, there is not much difference in the key experience. First, the number key area is completely reserved. Except for the 0 key becoming smaller, there is no difference in the other. The four direction keys of up, down, left, and right They are also full-size, and there is no problem of inadaptability for design or financial personnel.

In terms of size, the overall size is 327.5*136.5*41.38mm, the weight is 1027g, and the layout of 96 keys. The shell is made of ABS all-plastic material, and the upper and lower shells are directly fixed by buckles without screws. As the name implies, the Gasket structure is divided into upper cover, shaft body, PC positioning plate, PORON sandwich pad, PORON shaft bottom pad, PCB, PORON bottom cotton, GASKET silicone sleeve, and bottom cover. The hard impact with the shell when knocking is matched with the PC material positioning board to enhance the consistency and soft elastic feeling of the keyboard.

The three-layer PORON cotton sound-absorbing structure is better than the traditional silicone pad for sound-absorbing and feel. It effectively fills the gap inside the keyboard and eliminates most of the cavity sound. The relatively silent tapping experience is also a boon for roommates or colleagues, whether it is for office work or gaming. , you can get a comfortable tapping experience.

In terms of switches, with the continuous rise of domestic switches, while domestic keyboards continue to improve and improve, more and more customized switches are slowly entering mass-produced keyboards. Kaihua MX ice cream switches are It is the best among them, and it will be sold on the Black Jue AK966 as a mass-produced shaft for the first time. The unit price of this product reaches 4 yuan per piece. Now you know how involuntary the keyboard market is!

Everyone in the customization circle knows that although the MX ice cream shaft was released a few years ago, as the pioneer of POM material, this shaft is still a star shaft in the customization circle. Now it is a newer version, the shell The uniform milky white color is adopted, the shaft core is matched with the same color, and the material is changed to POM. The large keys of the keyboard adopt a new satellite shaft design, the large keys are not easy to shake when tapping, and the tapping is very stable.

In terms of parameters, trigger force: 55gf, bottoming force: 70gf, conduction stroke: 2.0±0.5mm, total stroke: 4.0±0.3mm, shaft type: linear shaft. The feel of this shaft tends to be linear and tough. Coupled with the material blessing of the POM shaft core, it can get good smoothness and durability without lubrication. The keys have just the right amount of feedback.

In addition, the switch body of the keyboard supports hot-swapping and matching at will, and is compatible with the hot-swappable switch base of the three-legged/five-legged switch body, and can be replaced with other switches on the market at will, and the playability is higher!

In terms of keycaps, Heijue AK966 uses MDA highly sublimated PBT keycaps. The contact surface of MDA ball caps is larger, and the fingertips are positioned more closely. Oil fades. The look and feel is comfortable. If you are a player who has converted from abs keycaps, you will definitely be pleasantly surprised by the feel.

Among them, the Mac-specific keycaps are very intimate, including 2 Control, 1 Option, and 1 Common, which are still very friendly to Mac users.

On the back of the fuselage, there are 5 rectangular non-slip rubber pads, and the upper left and upper right corners are also equipped with tripods that support 2-stage adjustment, which can adapt to the heights of different habits of users, and the adjustment is more convenient for tapping experience .

The upper area is the groove for the three-way data cable. The Type-C slot also uses a more stable structure, which is not easy to fall off. However, for users who like to customize the aviation cable, this Type-C connector needs DIY production on the original wire. If there is no such requirement, use the standard data cable.

On the left side of the fuselage, AK966 supports three-mode connection, designed as a dial-type switch, with Bluetooth 5.0 on the top, wired connection in the middle, and 2.4G connection on the bottom. The dial-type switch is designed on the left than on the back. Much more convenient, without opening the back of the keyboard, it is easy to switch between modes.

On the right side of the fuselage, there is a storage slot for the USB wireless receiver on the right side of the keyboard. With this slot, the wireless receiver of the keyboard is not easy to lose, which is worthy of praise.

Practical metal volume knob. The color matching complements the keycaps. The sides are non-slip diamond-shaped textures. The rotation has a sense of scale and a certain sense of damping. Pressing also requires a certain force to prevent accidental touches. It supports pressing down to mute switching. The color is consistent with the green color of the keycaps. Workmanship Not bad, full of texture.

You should think the above configurations are quite powerful, no, there are more! How can a stacking-level keyboard lack the blessing of RGB magic lights! AK966 comes with RGB backlight with strong lighting effects, supports about 16.8 million colors, 18 kinds of preset lighting effects can be quickly switched, one-button adjustable, more playability can be achieved through the driver, support onboard, and also support in wireless mode Modifications to lighting effects. FN+|Lighting effect switching, support up to 18 kinds of lighting effect switching.

Unexpected little surprise, built-in 10000mAh battery capacity, about 1200 hours of battery life, about 50 hours when the light is turned on, even if you take it out, you don’t need to worry about battery life.

This keyboard is quite easy to get used to. When you first get started, there will be accidental touches. After using it for a period of time, I gradually get used to the 96-key operation method. I do a lot of design and code words every day. AK966 gave me The feeling is that the keycaps have a delicate touch, the key travel is moderate, the typing is triggered quickly, and the fit between the fingertips and the keycaps is very good. There is no need for a keyboard hand rest, and the wrists will not feel pressure and dull clicks when you keep typing for several hours. The tapping sound, no matter in the office environment or in the school dormitory, will not cause noise to others.

Three-mode wireless solution, supports 2.4G, Bluetooth and Type-C wired connection, and supports full-key no punching. All are switched through the dial switch on the side, which is very convenient to operate. Among them, in Bluetooth mode, 3 Bluetooth devices can be stored, switched by FN+Q+W+E, seamlessly switch back and forth between multiple devices, and can be connected to computers, mobile phones, pads, and the efficiency of work and chat is doubled.

In terms of games, playing games is not inferior. In the actual game experience, the game requires high keyboard operations, frequent keystrokes, and a long game time. During the test, thanks to the smooth feel of the Kaihua MX ice cream switch , the trigger is light, the keyboard keys respond quickly, and there is no conflict with the commonly used keys. The delicate matte feel of the PBT keycaps is not easy to slip and misuse, and you will not feel tired after playing for a long time. The key feedback and mute effect of this keyboard are very good, it is very suitable for use in quiet places, and the experience results are satisfactory.

Generally speaking, the equipped Kaihua MX ice cream switch is for the first time sold on the Black Jue AK966 mechanical keyboard. Gasket structure, three-layer PORON cotton sound-absorbing structure, excellent workmanship, remarkable hand feeling experience, and the overall keyboard is perfect. 98% configuration, MDA highly sublimated keycaps, two-stage segmental foot supports, 10000mAh lithium battery, 18 kinds of lighting effects, hot-swappable switchable shaft design, a lot of effort has been made in design, quality, and appearance. First-tier manufacturers, stock-level existence, whether it is daily office or gaming experience, it is hard to put it down, satisfying your imagination of customized keyboards!

How can Tianxuan beat workers lose a handy productivity tool! ? The keyboard at hand is an essential tool whether it is a worker or a student. The keyboard I like very much recently is the Rapoo MT510 Pro multi-mode mechanical keyboard. Let us learn more about this keyboard below.

Rapoo MT series is a high-end business office series of Rapoo. This design has two themes, one is meow cute holiday and the other is sailing diary. Most girls should choose warm meow cute holiday like me. It’s so cute The keyboard makes the desktop atmosphere more relaxed! The cute orange cat and seaside beach elements on the keyboard remind people of relaxing and happy holidays.

The cute version of Rapoo MT510Pro family portrait, in addition to the keyboard itself, there is also a 2.4G wireless receiver + key puller and a USB to type C cable, the essential manual and key map.

75% is equipped with 84 keys, and the overall size will not take up too much space on the desktop.

The side is sandblasted and oxidized aluminum alloy frame, the Rapoo logo is printed on the left side of the frame, the top frame has a Type-C interface, the bottom four corners have silicone non-slip pads, and there is a switch key, when not in use The power can be turned off to save power.

The keycap of the floating button is made of PBT material and five-sided thermal sublimation process. The color of the keycap is soft, the characters on it are conspicuous, and the font is also cute and cute.

The touch of the keys is a matte texture, not completely smooth, and there is no greasy feeling. Pull out the keycap to check, and the workmanship on the details is also very meticulous.

The Rapoo MT510Pro mechanical keyboard supports multiple modes. There is a Type-c interface on the top edge. It can be used directly when connected to the wired mode. The length of the cable is 1.5 meters, and it can be charged at the same time. The built-in 4000mAh lithium battery is wireless. The mode supports 2.4G and Bluetooth connection. When it is fully charged, it can be used continuously for 225 hours. The continuous battery life is about one or two months. Of course, I am using both wired and wireless, so there is no power outage yet.

The Rapoo MT510Pro mechanical keyboard adopts Rapoo’s independent linear fast silver axis, the service life of a single axis can reach 50 million times, the durability is good, the trigger stroke is 41.3±0.5mm, the trigger pressure is 45±10cN, and the keys are not hard in terms of feel. .

The sound of daily use is not as loud as that of my mouse buttons. I don’t feel tired when typing, and I have a sensitive response speed when I occasionally play games.

At present, the keyboard should be a tool that has been used for a long time at work. The foot support at the bottom of the Pennefather MT510Pro mechanical keyboard is one-piece, and the height of the support is just right. I don’t always keep the same posture when typing, and I also know my habits better during use. My right hand moves more when typing, so the silicone anti-slip pad at the bottom of the keyboard is also very necessary. There is no silicone anti-slip pad. The keyboard on the keyboard is often pushed forward on the right side, and the keyboard will become skewed. This keyboard does not have such a problem.

The keyboard combination keys have many shortcut functions, which actually increase the convenience, but it takes some time to memorize them.

The default ice blue backlight is my favorite lighting effect, simple and smart, and the brightness and speed of the light can also be adjusted. Press and hold the FN and Ctrl keys to switch other 6 lighting effects, such as breathing light, starry mode, ripple mode, etc. You can also customize the settings through the driving system, and you can customize the lighting if you want.

The advantage of choosing a multi-mode keyboard is that it can connect multiple devices at the same time without plugging and unplugging, and it is convenient to switch. For example, the keyboard of Rapoo supports up to 5 devices to be connected at the same time. You only need to press Fn+1-5 number keys to switch Using the connected device, it is enough to have a keyboard for desktops, laptops and tablets that are usually used.

In wired mode, the 84-key full key has no conflict, and the wireless mode has 6-key no conflict, and the daily office and entertainment experience is quite good.

In general, the Rapoo MT510 Pro multi-mode mechanical keyboard has won my heart in terms of appearance design and feel, and the lighting effects, multi-mode multi-device connection and other functions are also very practical. The use of this period of time makes the desktop collocation lively There are many, friends who like it may wish to start.

Just at 7:30 on January 4th, ROG released a bunch of new belief products. For me, the most concerned thing is peripherals (in fact, I just can’t afford a computer). In fact, I bought the Wang Zha set through my relationship before and after it was released. After using it for a few days, I just held it back until now to send it out.

The first one is the ROG Night Devil three-mode mechanical keyboard, keywords: Gasket, hot swap, customization, aluminum upper case.

The second is the ROG Dragonscale ACE X AimLab cooperation version of the mouse, keywords: lightweight, wireless, high battery life.

As we all know, the current e-sports players are ROG, Razer, and Logitech.

ROG , focusing on computer hardware, electromechanical fans, graphics cards, monitors, and routers are all the top of the product category, while peripherals can only be described as tepid. There are available products, but they don’t seem to be particularly popular. However, the players we love ROG are all for the whole family. ROG has relied on the name of Prodigal Eye and its excellent design style over the years. There are many good products in the field of peripherals, and the price is also advantageous. From the perspective of ROG peripherals In terms of sales, everyone has their own preferences.

Razer , is the originator of playing lights, the low-end keyboard and mouse are cost-effective, and the innovation ability is average. Razer has attracted many players by relying on the names of various dangerous small animals and the green snake LOGO. It should be ranked first. I bought the first-generation Purgatory Viper 15 years ago. It was indeed a good mouse that crossed the era. You must know that the best-selling mouse back then was the Logitech G518. The Viper made me change from grip to grip. I became a prostitute, and I just went to the Razer JD store to look at it. There are ten wireless mice, and six of them have the word Viper in their names. How good are you at naming them?

Logitech , When I was in school, Logitech was the only one who played with ergonomic peripherals, and the others were monsters and ghosts. In recent years, Logitech’s GPW has once again led the direction of the mouse. Almost interesting, the sales volume of the flagship store also shows.

The gap between these brands of high-end keyboards and mice is not that big. Unless it can completely subvert everyone’s perception of flagship mice like GPW and try new designs to make changes, otherwise it is still necessary to change the shell, after all, the hardware configuration is redundant.

At present, there are only ROG Night Demon in Yusanjia, which adopts Gasket keyboard structure, OLED screen and pre-moistened mechanical axis. The upper shell is made of aluminum alloy, and there are pulley physical buttons on the side. It can be said that he has all the characteristics of the current customized style keyboard. Yes, at present Yusanjia and even big brands are the only one.

The packaging of Night Devil is mediocre, and it can be seen from the size that it is not a full keyboard. I already hate the 104 full keyboard. When you have tried 98 and 74, you will never want to use a big keyboard again, especially For gamers, the small keyboard of the 104 keyboard affects the range of mouse movement too much.

The biggest selling point of this keyboard is the customized accessories. In addition to the main body of the keyboard, there is a foam box for special accessories, as well as ROG stickers and several manuals.

In the past two years, I have bought more than 30 keyboards. This is the first time I have seen a keyboard with a running switch set. In the past two years, the keyboard market has been too hot. Domestic keyboards have sprung up. Cherry has become a thing of the past. In fact, it is manufactured by several big domestic brands, such as ROG’s NX and RX are made by Kaihua,

All accessories are as follows, in addition to the lubrication shaft set, there are key pullers and shaft pullers.

Originally distributed with a small can of DuPont Chemours grease, which is recognized as a good oil by customized keyboard players.

This small accessory is used to remove the key shaft. In addition to the NX shaft of ROG, there is also the MX shaft of Cherry.

Put it in the corresponding slot, and the protruding plastic sheets on both sides will open the shaft without hurting the nail cover and the shaft.

In fact, it is very interesting for keyboard players to run the switch. Each switch can be adjusted according to their own preferences. The sound of mahjong is not easy to control. I remember a master once told me that even if it is a cherry switch, it feels invincible after moistening. , but the NX axes of Daredevil are all pre-lubricated.

Let’s take a look at the lighting effect of Ye Mo. The lighting effect of Yusanjia’s flagship keyboard is indeed impeccable, gorgeous but not coquettish.

Compared with the previous generation flagship Dragon Knight 2, Daredevil's lights will be more abundant, and both models are very beautiful.

Looking at it under the light, the keyboard shell and keycaps are dark gray, and the aluminum alloy texture on the keyboard cover is comparable to the fashionable aluminum tuatuo nowadays.

The gray and black design of the keycap is full of modern sense, and it is also very gaming-like. This small 2-inch OLED screen should be the clearest picture in the current keyboard circle. The ROG design for him is too accumulated, and it can be used with the side pulley. Lighting effect and multimedia function operation, from a practical point of view, this screen is not very useful.

Judging from the official structural diagram, Night Demon uses steel plates to limit the range of movement of the shaft body, and then arranges ten silicone gaskets around as buffers, and a layer of silicone pads is added between the steel plate and the PCB, which can greatly reduce the The cavity sound and spring sound of the shaft body, the sound of the keyboard is more pure, and with the pre-moistened shaft, the Daredevil has the feeling of mahjong sound when struck.

Pull out the shaft, and there is PORON foam in the middle of the PCB. With the sound-absorbing cotton on the bottom cover, this keyboard can be said to have no noise at all, and the overall feeling is a very advanced customized keyboard.

Although there are pulleys, ROG still arranges a lot of shortcut keys for Nightmare, for friends who are used to combination keys to set lights.

The pulley on the side is a three-way rotary pulley switch, which is very practical with a small screen.

The physical switch on the back can be set for three-mode transmission. This year, the physical switch began to appear again. Facts have proved that the physical switch is the most direct and convenient method of operation. I used to have a keyboard that all functions need to be combined with keys, so his manual I dare not throw it away.

The Type-C interface is on the left. This keyboard should not be plugged in with a cable. With the support of ROG’s SpeedNova wireless technology, the Daredevil can support 2000 hours of battery life.

On the back is ROG's signature twill decoration, and the prodigal eye pattern is prominent on the right.

The height increase shelf is a necessary small function of the keyboard. I was satisfied with all the configurations of the previous keyboard, but I didn’t know whether to cut corners for the beauty of the back, and cut off the height increase shelf, which further caused me to change the door.

It's a pity that the back of the Daredevil is made of plastic. It would be perfect if it were all made of aluminum.

The angle of side heightening is good, and it can meet the angle of fingers tapping the keyboard with the keyboard hand rest.

Compared with the old flagship Dragon Knight 2, the workmanship of the two keyboards is good. The Dragon Knight uses a brushed process and has a certain fancy design, while the Night Devil looks a lot more low-key on the top cover.

The two keyboards should be regarded as the fengshuiling of the previous generation of e-sports flagship keyboards and modern e-sports keyboards. I believe that ROG has taken this lead, and a certain snake is coming soon...

In fact, white light is also quite good for people who don’t like light pollution. Yusanjia’s light control is very good, and it looks very textured.

The RGB color is also very positive. I lowered the highlight in this picture. As far as I have three keyboards with screens on hand, the ROG screen is the most compelling. The content on the other two screens is really hard to bear.

This wave of new keyboard and mouse design is not exaggerated, it can be regarded as ROG's own subversive design.

Connected to ASUS Armory Crate, you can make detailed settings for the keyboard, and you can customize the settings for lights and scroll wheels. The whole family is ecstatic, and even the content of the OLED screen can be replaced.

Looking at the three-piece suit from another angle, everyone who has used it knows the joy of the whole family bucket.

To summarize the feel, Nightmare is equipped with NX pre-moistened switches manufactured by ROG Kaihua, and the feel is much stronger than ordinary NX switches. Thanks to the Gasket structure, the consistency of the keys is very good, and the small keys and small keys The percussion texture is very good, and it is not easy to make typos when switching from domestic keyboards. The matte texture of the PBT keycap surface is very obvious, which is the same as the surface texture of the Dragonscale mouse. The key travel of Hawthorn Red 1.8 is suitable for games and fast typing, and it feels light. The response is fast, and the feel is comparable to that of a domestic keyboard.

Compared with changing several keyboards a year, my pursuit of the mouse is not too high. In the early years, I also pursued a mouse that can adjust the weight. I thought that the heavier the mouse, the more stable it was. After using this method, coupled with the popularity of the quantitative mouse in recent years, I really feel that for the mouse, the counterweight is a typical function designed for gimmicks. Any design and selling point must be based on the actual combat. Useful and good On the basis of use, this is the case with the GPW fire in recent years. From the initial launch of doubts, to the current process of various brands vying for the ultimate lightweight, it has proved what is really practical for the mouse.

The Moonblade wireless launched by ROG last year is quite easy to use. It weighs 75 grams and has a 36K sensor. The parameters are no problem as a flagship. The price is 449 yuan and there is still a drop. It is very competitive for GPW2, plus the blessing of the prodigal eye , there is nothing wrong with that mouse.

At the beginning of 2023, ROG launched Dragonscale ACE, a lightweight flagship. It weighs 54 grams less than Moonblade Wireless 75 grams, even 8 grams lighter than GPW2, and 7 grams heavier than thousands of Finalmouse. The cost performance of dragon scale is not high, but the ultimate lightweight is not so easy to do. GPW has been boasting for so many years, that is, the weight is good.

Take out the most fashionable GPW2 of the current e-sports team for comparison. In terms of appearance, ROG is slender, and GPW is more rounded.

The ergonomic design of these two mice is nothing to say, so many years of mouse design experience, no matter how comfortable it is to hold, especially the grip, the lightweight mouse is excellent for gripping players, and it is easy to lift and change positions.

There are also two side buttons on the side, which are a bit useful for daily Internet work. The highest dragon scale is at the rear, and the GPW is in the middle. There is not much difference in actual use. Maybe my hands are too big. This change has little effect on me.

From the front side, the two mice have symmetrical designs, and the texture of the buttons is good. Dragonscale’s buttons are slightly harder, and the pulleys are soft, while GPW’s pulleys are hard, and the buttons are soft. In comparison, the keys and pulleys of Dragonscale will feel better. , In addition, the GPW cable has not been updated to Type-C, this is really a bad review, and I have to bring a special cable for him when I go out.

GPW2 completely cut off the LOGO lights, the dragon scale only has pulleys with lights, and the weight is lighter than GPW.

In terms of appearance, there is not much difference. ROG with lights is a bonus item. It is estimated that other color versions will be released in the future. Although the white color of GPW is beautiful, but according to the evaluation, it has turned yellow. I have used it for a month and it has not happened.

The surface of GPW2 is similar to the skin-friendly texture. It is really comfortable to touch, but the grip will be very slippery. Although Logitech has equipped it with anti-slip stickers, I have no obsessive-compulsive disorder. There are some signs of oiling. The surface of the dragon scales, especially the surface of the keys, is very similar to the surface texture of the night devil's keycaps. It has a full matte texture and a clear touch. It hasn't been used for a long time, but I feel that the progress of oiling should not be so fast.

The two sides of GPW2 have a slightly curved design, which helps to make contact with fingers when grasping. There are stripes on both sides of the dragon scale to increase friction.

Dragon Scale is a model suitable for AimLab cooperation. The color of the side buttons and the front LOGO are AimLab’s color and shape. It is estimated that in addition to stamping, AimLab may provide some data to ROG for adjustment. I played a few games to try , and the feeling of GPW is not much different. In terms of parameters, Dragonscale DPI 36K, maximum speed 650 IPS, acceleration 50G, return rate 1000Hz, GPW2 DPI 26K, maximum speed 400 IPS, return rate 1000Hz, these parameters are all The performance is excessive. I only use 1400 DPI. The current parameters of acceleration and maximum speed are beyond the perception of human beings. The only rate of return can reach 1000Hz, which can meet the requirements.

In addition, as a wireless mouse, it can only be considered qualified if it can display the above water quality through wireless technology. Both of these two mice use their own unique wireless technology. There is no difference between game perception and wired, and there is no frame drop or freeze phenomenon. Appear.

The bottom also uses Teflon PTFE foot pads, and the GPW area is quite large, and the actual use of these two models has not felt any resistance.

The most proud thing about Dragon Scale is its weight. Although 8 grams lighter seems to make little difference, after I get used to the weight of GPW, I can obviously feel a little lighter when I pick up the Dragon Scale.

There is not much difference in the grip feel, and the dragon scale frosted surface can increase the touch.

This set has replaced the combination of a custom-made keyboard + GPW made in China.

The appearance is in place and the hand feels good. There is nothing to choose about this set. The only problem is that it is expensive.

Needless to say, ROG’s Armory Crate is very convenient to set up in all aspects. I couldn’t install Logitech’s G HUB software, so I finally installed an offline simplified version, directly sending data and adjusting the DPI of the mouse. pass.

For these two new products of ROG, I think it is worth a wave. My previous combination is a variety of domestic keyboards plus GPW2 or Moonblade. Now this set solves my three problems:

1. Confused about whether to choose e-sports or customized keyboard I believe that friends who have tried the new domestic custom-style keyboard are hard to let him go, but they also like Yusanjia’s gaming style. ROG’s model combines Gasket structure, aluminum lumps, scroll wheels, hot-swappable, pre-moistened Axis, basically the most popular elements are all equipped;

2. Alternatives to GPW2 , GPW is really good, but there are also problems, 1) no Type-C, 2) the surface is too smooth, 3) the parameters are not strong enough, Dragon Scale solves these three problems, and brings a lower price, I believe in the future There will be a more affordable price when rolled up;

3. Family bucket lovers , the current popular keyboard and mouse sets, either the keyboard or the mouse is not good. Most GPW2 users do not use Logitech keyboards. Although domestic keyboards are easy to use, there are basically no keyboard brands that have a good mouse. ROG is the current product line The most comprehensive and best-linked brand, if it is in place in one step, it will be better, and these two models will do.

Of course there are pros and cons:

Daredevil Keyboard Disadvantages:

1. There is no keypad in the 75 configuration , Yemo currently only has this one without a small keyboard, which can be a test of ROG. It is estimated that the follow-up mid-to-high-end series will add Gasket and pre-moistened shaft design, you can look forward to it;

2. The price is high , the price of the first release of 1799 is indeed much more expensive than domestic keyboards, but think about keyboards with screens, there are also domestically produced keyboards that can reach more than 900, and ROG not only has a screen, but also has pulleys. Not too expensive...

Dragon scale mouse disadvantages:

1. Overcapacity , This is the problem of all flagship mice at present. 36K and 25K sound great, but they are not used at all. The high performance leads to high pricing. For me, whether it is GPW or Dragonscale, the price is set at two or three. Hundreds are over.

For friends who are accustomed to the Mac system, every small upgrade can make our wallets slim down quickly. For example, the 8GB memory made of gold, or the 256GB SSD made of silver, and its other peripherals are not cheap, and a keyboard can be sold for almost 900 yuan. The keyboard I shared with my friends today is the SLIM X3 from SATECHI. It can be regarded as one of the best replacements for the Magic Keyboard in terms of design and feel!

SATECHI is no stranger to us. Its tablet stand and expansion dock have left a deep impression on us. Its meticulous workmanship, solid materials, long-term durability, design-like appearance and official cooperation with Apple The endorsement of the brand is also one of the main reasons why we prefer it.

This is an aluminum alloy keyboard with a slim design. From the design language point of view, it matches Apple's extremely simple tonality very well. When placed together with the Apple notebook, there is no sense of disobedience.

Because it is specially built for Apple (taking into account Win and other systems), its keycaps also come with more Apple-specific features, such as its series of multi-function keys.

Another example is its alt/opt and Cmd.

These keys are perfectly adapted to the Mac system, and there is no difference in the feeling of using the original keyboard.

It supports Bluetooth connection of up to 4 devices and wired connection with PC or Mac, and it is also convenient for friends to quickly switch and use among the four devices.

Compared with other keyboards, each keycap of SATECHI SLIM X3 is flatter, making each of our strokes more stable and comfortable. Although it is a membrane keyboard, it still provides us with excellent tapping feedback. Whether we press it or the rebound of the button, there seems to be a sense of paragraph.

SATECHI SLIM X3 supports 10-level adjustable backlight design, and friends can independently adjust the brightness of the backlight they like according to their own use environment. Can Windows system be used? The answer is yes, and some function keys can also be perfectly adapted. However, the fly in the ointment is that because it is mainly used for Mac, there is no Win key marked, and its position is slightly different from our commonly used keyboards.

The package with a white bottom, the body of the SATECHI SLIM X3 keyboard is in the middle, the SATECHI logo is on the upper left, and the specific model of the keyboard and the words that are compatible with Mac are on the lower left.

Its back shows the usage scene of the keyboard and five features including support for up to 4 Bluetooth devices, backlight, wired connection, and aluminum keyboard.

Pulling out the cover, we can see the kraft paper packaging, with the words SLIM X3 and SATECHI in the middle.

Open it, we can see the keyboard body,

There is a small box of the same color under it, which contains data cables, instructions and two sticky feet.

The keyboard is a little heavy in the hand, but not very heavy, it is about 434 grams.

Delicacy is the deepest impression it left on us. There is not too much decoration on the front, but every fine button and frosted aluminum alloy convey a good texture.

On the top of the keyboard, TYPE-C, power switch and a small plastic window (should be used to transmit Bluetooth signals) are concentrated,

It has six non-slip pads evenly distributed on the back, with SATECHI and related certification information in the middle.

Although it is a membrane keyboard, it is no less than the original keyboard in terms of appearance and feel. At the same time, it supports the attribute of multi-device connection, which also greatly facilitates our current habit of cross-platform use! During the two weeks of use, we were deeply impressed by its quick tapping feedback and its lack of meat! If you have a Mac mini or a Macbook and want to add a full keyboard, it is also a good choice!
