Building on the previous wired board K7, Darmoshark launched the K7 Pro triple-mode mechanical keyboard, which supports USB Type-C wired, 2.4G and Bluetooth wireless. The original shimmer model was extended to the three-mode version, this time adding Gulf Racing and AJ color matching, of which the shimmer and AJ color matching also has a black semi-transparent shell, and also replaced by KDA-high PBT sublimation keycaps, the overall look down the temperament and high value is still unchanged.
Among them, the wireless version of the accessory has an additional 2.4G receiver and receiver extension module, which can be used with the USB cable to shorten the distance between the receiver and the keyboard.

In terms of appearance details, the three templates can be said to have 99% similarity with the wired version, and the remaining 1% is the two switches at the bottom. Taking the shimmer model as an example, the wired version that has been experienced before is a black shell, the keyboard on the hand is upgraded to a black semi-transparent shell, and the Gulf Racing is an off-white shell, impermeable, purely for the sake of close to the keycap color, and the character of "Darmoshark" in the lower right corner is not black, but a dark blue-green, darker than the Gulf Racing theme keycap character color.
Receiver storage
Separate Win/Mac toggle keys and power switches have been added to the bottom of the keyboard, and the other basic layouts have not moved. As mentioned earlier, there is no separate receiver storage compartment at the bottom, but if the user wants, the user can also stuff the USB receiver into the dedicated card slot in the right wire slot, provided that the user does not use the right wire slot. The case of the foot brace is also the same as the old one, the two-stage long and short foot brace is very stable, but the keyboard will be raised very high after opening the long foot brace, and it is recommended to use a bowl holder if you have the condition. Gulf Racing and AJ went above and beyond, with the highest point of the F-zone keycap at least 6cm from the tabletop after opening the foot brace.
The keycaps are divided into two heights, the shimmer is the XDA height of the flat chest, and everything is business as usual. Gulf Racing and AJ models are KDA heights with radians. Especially with the Gulf Racing theme, Gulf Oil, as one of the first oil brands to participate in racing sponsorship, has become the most representative livery of the Porsche 917. The Gulf Racing theme keycap produced by this set of fingertip cultural creation is based on Gulf Racing, which is well known to many players with its lively, high contrast and distinctive personality. Another AJ model, the color scheme is inspired by Nike AJ, the accent color also perfectly restores the yellow, white and gray tri-color of the AJ shoe, and even has the black humor element of "DON'T TOUCH" on the BackSpace button. In terms of production process, Gulf Racing and AJ are hot-sublimated, the original shimmer is still two-color, and the thickness of the keycaps of the former two is greater than that of the latter. Not only are the heights different, but the curvature of the Gulf Racing and AJ keycaps is more pronounced than the flat surface of the shimmer model. The tactile feel is also different for different processes, at least if you experience it carefully, you can still feel the raised characters of the shimmering two-color keycaps. Therefore, in terms of smoothness, these two joint keycaps with sublimation are better. Since all three are smooth surfaces, there will be a diffuse reflection effect when illuminated by light.
G黄PRO、G红PRO和G银PRO
The shaft body can choose G Silver Pro, G Yellow Pro and G Red Pro of Jiadalong, all three are linear shafts, but there is a difference in the button stroke and trigger pressure, after all, it is a shaft body product for different application scenarios. In terms of factory tuning, only the shimmer model of individual large keys is not hard and brittle enough. The stability of the shaft body in the whole area is relatively excellent, especially the G Silver Pro wall shaft core, which has a very small degree of shaking.
K7 full series support hot swap, after pulling out the shaft body can see the sound insulation cotton between the positioning plate and the PCB, hot swap scheme and wired version, support three feet and five feet shaft body.
On the battery life, K7 Pro is equipped with a 3000mAh lithium battery, and the official said that the lights can be used for 150 hours, and the lights can be used for 40 hours. Measured down, the maximum brightness can be used intensively for about two days, more than 30 hours. More importantly, the K7 Pro can calculate the remaining power through Fn+Alt, and the fourth indicator light in the upper left corner will prompt, 90% green light, 60% blue light, 30% red light is always on.
The K7 Pro's driver is different from the K7 Wired Version, which looks more intuitive and concise, and it is easier to get started than the old version. The traditional Fn layer is still there, there will be prompts when editing, and the operation is friendly. The lighting effect setting is the same as the K7 wired version, with good playability and customization features. However, the driver can not correctly identify the Gulf Racing and AJ versions, can not display the keyboard model in the main interface, only shows a shimmer model, and wait for future updates.
In terms of lighting effects, thanks to the semi-transparent shell, the AJ and shimmer models look like they have a certain light transmission effect from the bottom, and the visual atmosphere is much better than the wired version. If you use a fully transparent shell, it is estimated that it will be more dazzling.
Experience it, if you have to label this Dammoshark K7 Pro, it is probably the high value, pleasing shell shape, and the personality elements of the co-branded model that make this product stand out on the traditional three-mode mechanical keyboard. The lowest price of the shimmer (G red Pro) is only 469, the highest joint model (G silver Pro) is only selling 599, to know that the pair of keycaps is not cheap, the cost performance is not low.
