Speaking of HypeX's peripherals, its gaming headsets are always admired by fans, so that many people ignore its keyboard and mouse.
If nothing else, HyperX's keyboard and mouse is quite reliable.
At that time, I personally picked up a HyperX MARS1 generation, equipped with a Gaute shaft, although the feel is not as good as the CHERRY shaft, but the durability is beyond imagination.
▲Because I want to share the 2nd generation of MARS today, I turned over the 1st generation in the middle of the house. In addition to being ugly, there is nothing wrong with it, even if it is a high-tech shaft, it is OK to use it.
But it is really durable, in my desktop in addition to soot and dust outside the window, I myself have a few times did not control the mood hammer a few times, the shaft body is not broken, in the end really want to change the new one to replace it.
▲However, this returns the appearance of the 2nd generation MARS to the usual design style of HyperX, which is angular, concise and quite tough.
▲In addition to the tough appearance, the key layout of HyperX MARS 2 is also non-tight, which greatly reduces the misexamination rate of my big hands and fast codewords. Although its border has a certain thickness, the difference between the A-side border and the keyface is still quite obvious, and the information on the keycap is relatively simple, and the overall look is relatively refreshing.
▲There is also a matte effect on the A-side chassis, which may not be visible without a closer look.
▲ MARS 2 generation side display, the whole fuselage has some thick feeling, the key surface when not opening the bracket has a significant upward angle, but the U-shaped arc surface of the entire key surface is not very obvious, so I am personally more accustomed to opening the bracket.
▲ MARS2 generation B side shows that the cable is removable, so in addition to the three routing routes, there is not much design.
▲ The head of the connecting keyboard is a plug-and-play TypeC head, with two screw holes reserved on both sides, and the user can lock it with the cover plate in the accessory, but I think this design does not make much sense.
▲In addition to the slope of the fuselage, HyperX also has two moving foot pads that are opening and closing, and anti-slip foot pads are added to the ground, because the fuselage is heavier, and the front and back and left and right translations are very stable.
▲ Keycap display, did not expect or PBT material of two-color injection molding keycaps, the overall character is large, but it is closed. Probably because I am a fire shaft (red shaft), it does not feel tough when used except for the usual warm and dry touch.
▲ The inside of the keycap is displayed, the inner wall thickness is moderate, except for some injection holes, there are no other flaws.
▲ Shaft body display, note that although the fuselage is plastic, the steel plate of the A-side is still there. In terms of shaft body, although it is called the fire axis, it is relatively close to the CHERRY red axis, and it is faster from the perspective of a smaller stroke. However, personal hand does not have CHERRY red axis to compare, can only say the feelings of the MARS2 generation.
The first feeling is that there is a soft red axis, but it is not so soft for a while, the sound is naturally larger, and the simple code word must have the feeling of flowing water, I personally think it can also adapt to the game, fast but not so soft.
▲ The big key display, in addition to the use of satellite axis scheme, it also seals the gap in the middle, so the advantage is naturally to eliminate the ash. Under the drawbacks of the red shaft's habitual partial meat, the MARS2 generation seems to solve this problem, but it may also be due to the shorter travel of the fire shaft, in short, it does not give me that kind of flesh, and even the spring sound is gone.
▲Speaking of the light effect part, here you should pay attention to the HyperX has no driver, the light effect mode is not much, and it can be adjusted through the shortcut key combination.
The lighting effect visual effect is general, nothing special, although the brightness is adjustable, but its keycap deliberately does not maximize the light transmission performance. If you have to pursue a bright lighting effect, or as mentioned earlier, you can change their pudding keycaps.
▲Put two more light effect pictures for reference.
▲Overall summary section
Although the trend of the mechanical keyboard market in the past two years has been customized, the domestic peripheral market size is still here, so the traditional wired mechanical keyboard is not without living space.
MARS2 is as introverted and stable as HyperX, and the whole keyboard is nothing new, but it is solid and easy to use.
The appearance is not high, but it is durable enough, and the RGB lighting effect is not exaggerated, because it is an OEM height keycap, and the player can also match the HyperX pudding keycap to increase the visual impact of the light effect.
The whole keyboard design is stable, the workmanship is remarkable, the feel is a highlight, I estimate that many people will feel that the experience of its fire axis will exceed the CHERRY red axis.
Just in terms of price, the price of nearly 500 will make many people prohibitive, do not mind waiting for a good price, personally more respect its fire shaft feel, there is indeed a uniqueness.
