At the moment of the key ring inner roll, to say that the functional configuration of the keyboard, it will not be weak to take out a handful at will, and the price, overall quality, and keyboard feel have made long-term progress compared with two years ago. But under such a prosperous scene, few brands have innovation and attempts in the appearance and style of the keyboard, and the keyboard function configuration is full but the style can not get rid of the 'simple' or even 'traditional' OEM style, which inevitably makes people feel tired.
Hi Keys as a new positioning brand of Duga has made a very bold attempt in the design language, this attempt is not only reflected in the appearance of the keyboard, keycaps, font design and even the function keys on the keyboard are ingenious, okay, nonsense, let's take a look at the keyboard.
I have sunburned a lot of Duga's keyboard, the blue packaging does not let people take out the desire to dry, this time Hi Keys' new packaging can not only effectively distinguish Duga's previous products, but also very interesting in color matching and design language.
In my mind, the futuristic design concept is not only the high-saturation red and blue lights in crowded and closed cyberpunk, but also the sense of cleanliness and order in Advent, and this Duga Hi Keys keyboard fits the latter temperament very well.
First of all, it is very restrained in the choice of color, the classic combination of metal body and white keyboard is not rare, but it is a classic color that is not easy to be worn out by time, the most typical is the Apple Magic Keyboard magic keyboard, the product launched decades ago still seems to be at the forefront of design.
After turning on the keyboard, the white light is lit up, and this sense of sophistication is added a few more points
After several years of RGB light pollution baptism, seeing this white keyboard is like a plate of degrieved seasonal vegetables on the back end of a table full of wine and meat, and seeing more face filters, a pure and plain face is more eye-catching.
My love for the appearance of this Duga Hi Keys comes largely from this simple color scheme, and for most users, the beautiful curved body and rounded keycaps are the focus of attention, because it is indeed rare.
The curve of the Hi Keys' body is not complicated, but it completely dissolves the edges and corners of the traditional OEM appearance, surrounded by smooth curves, but at the top corners are very sharp, sleek and sharp in harmony on a keyboard friendly coexistence.
There are many embellishments on the fuselage and keycaps, such as the black twill on this spacebar, which Gundam fans should be familiar with, and even this silver spacebar is a good visual supplement to the entire keyboard.
F and H letters are marked separately in yellow
The fuselage is also embellished with lines and brand and model letters
The newly designed keycap character in addition to the simple temperament of the keyboard, in the appearance is also very interesting, square rounded keycap abandons the arc surface of the traditional keycap, slightly bulging, the surrounding is relatively smooth, the top corner is pointed, it is not difficult to see that the keycap is customized for this keyboard.
It is also very different from traditional keycaps in terms of feel, after all, one is convex and the other is concave, and the input experience is very different. You need to get used to it at first, and the comfort will slowly come up after getting used to it.
Little steamed bun version keycaps, strange cute
Speaking of keycaps, a special feature of this Hi Key is that it abandons the tilted keycap arrangement of the traditional keyboard front and back, but completely fits the curve of the fuselage.
Don't worry about such adjustments affecting the input experience, the sloping body and bottom support feet will be relieved to some extent, and the compact layout allows fingers to reach every key without extensive movement.
My one is equipped with Kaihua tea shaft, and there is also a silent red shaft available.
The feel is a very standard tea shaft taste, a slight paragraph feeling, if you do not pursue the ultimate silent effect, then this tea shaft is definitely the first choice.
The keys are smooth and feel excellent, as a Duga who has been known for its feel since its birth, the problem of keyboard feel can be directly skipped, and the addition of high-quality customized shaft body amplifies this advantage
The keyboard switch and wireless switching button are ingenious in appearance, and the co-branded metallic color that echoes the fuselage, what you can never imagine is that there is an indicator hidden under the switch.
The appearance of the wireless toggle switch I can only say general, put on such a simple body even feels a little abrupt, but I can't think of a more suitable design scheme, maybe it is better to hide it at the bottom of the fuselage.
The bottom of the fuselage continues to implement the simple design language, and the huge Dugar letters should be the biggest logo I have ever seen, and there is no one.
The entire anti-slip strip runs through the top to provide sufficient anti-slip effect
Concealed receiver compartment
The support feet lift the relatively flat fuselage to a certain height
These are practical while taking care of the design aesthetics, and are unified with the simple design language
Duga is not a senior peripheral brand, but has a strong 'calm' label, whether it is the classic and simple OEM appearance of K310/K320, or the original shaft body of Cherry that has always adhered to this temperament. But Duga completely breaks this stereotype with this Hi Keys design, not only for Duga, this keyboard is also unique in the peripheral circle.
Futuristic lines and classic silver color combinations, you can judge that this keyboard will not look outdated in a few years, under the seemingly simple appearance is a newly designed keycap character, rich embellished lines, elegant body and keycap curve and a lot of details. I always believe that good design is to do subtraction while doing reasonable self-consistency, and behind each line is a lot of contrast, verification, and repeated scrutiny.
As a keyboard, an input device, a productivity tool, a gaming equipment, a good feel may become insensitive due to habit, but excellent design and satisfactory appearance will become the best decoration on the desktop, so that every use has an expectation.
