Every summer vacation with unbearable heat makes people want to stay at home and spend their days blowing air conditioners and playing with the computer. A sigh was left to myself, and I was in Tianjin - this year's North China Plain was evil, and this repeated 40+°C high temperature made my thoughts of staying home even heavier.
To play on the computer, you have to get a decent keyboard.
Scarce is expensive, easily available things are not much new, recently I asked someone to get a mechanical keyboard from Baodao Bay Bay, very interesting, take it out to share (Versailles).
THIS IS A PRODUCT FROM MONTECH. Monarch Technology is a computer parts and peripheral brand of Wanwan, relying on chassis, power supply, heat dissipation "electromechanical" products to start the brand, and later around the market demand for computer peripheral products, developed keyboard, mouse and other peripheral peripheral products.
The keyboard shared today is a new product under MONTECH, named the "Dark Country" castle-style MKey mechanical keyboard.
The actual effect of the desktop matches my dark computer desk very well, and this dark black match is quite high.
Or to start from the basics, this outer box style is a bit characteristic, the depth of the halo extension, quite a sense of technology.
The MKey keyboard is equipped with a 105-key full keyboard as a whole, which is a relatively special key arrangement.
Of course, the numeric keypad that many players can't give up is naturally retained.
Will the keyboard configuration of Wanwan be different from that of the mainland?
Keyboard, dust cover, data cable, key puller, manual, the configuration is basically similar.
In addition, this configuration is also equipped with special castle keycaps, which can be personalized to play.
It's just that this data cable is really interesting, the mainland keyboard is usually equipped with a 1.5m long cable, and the MKey cable is 1.9m long, which is 40cm longer, obviously the manipulable space will be slightly larger.
MKey's overall size of 443*136*41mm is almost no different from the 104 keyboard, and the size is basically synchronized, but the weight is obviously quite different.
MKey is quite weighty, the keyboard weight is 1.6kg, compared to other keyboards in the same list, slightly heavier, it can be inferred that a wave, keyboard configuration materials should be more sufficient.
PBT material is widely used in the production of mechanical keyboard keycaps because of its high heat resistance, toughness, fatigue resistance, self-lubrication, low friction, hot water resistance, alkali, acid, oil and other characteristics.
MKey adopts PBT material keycap, and the printing process adopts five-sided dye sublimation technology, which is more uniform and does not fade when used.
Regarding the keycap height, the more common ones are the original (CHERRY height) cap and OEM height. MKey this time to choose MDA height keycap is a ball cap, the overall height of the keycap will be slightly higher than the original keycap, rounded and straight, the area of contact between the keycap and the fingers will be larger, and the overall feel is worth looking forward to.
No height is the best, it can only be said that each has its own merits, purely depending on personal preference.
The MKey shaft body is a Gadalon G Pro 2.0 shaft body, which is a pre-oiled self-lubricating shaft to ensure smooth input spring.
Peripheral enthusiasts always want DIY products, and the Kaihua hot-swappable shaft seat used by MKey is compatible with 3-pin and 5-pin shaft bodies. Gamers always like to make modifications on individual keypads, and this customizable attitude comes first.
I can do without. But you can't do without!
MKey is equipped with independent south-facing LED lamp beads under each button, and the RGB multi-color display is relatively stable. In the past, when the technology was not mature, there were occasionally ghost key problems due to matrix scanning circuit design problems, but now it has been completely eradicated.
The wired keyboard has no power problems, MKey supports up to 18 built-in RGB light modes, and you can also play with some custom lights according to personal preferences.
The specific lighting we will experience later.
There are many keyboards with knobs in the upper right part, and I have come into contact with several keyboards with knobs, and the knob function is mainly to control the volume and light mode.
MKey retains the habit of controlling the volume and light mode, and also adds a particularly interesting zoom in and out function, and the desktop icons can be zoomed in and out at any time, which is very convenient.
Press - rotate, lazy only.
The foot supports three gear height adjustments, which can bring three-stage height adjustment of 3 degrees, 6 degrees and 9 degrees respectively, suitable for users with different typing habits.
The height of the keyboard is particularly magical, many people have actually achieved blind typing, but they need to be adjusted to a very comfortable observation angle, which is also a psychological support~
There is a clear brand LOGO on the woven USB-C to USB-A cable interface, which is strange and good-looking~
The back of the keyboard reserves three trace directions for the cable: left, center, and right, which is suitable for the use environment of different chassis positions.
Wireless has the convenience of wireless, but in terms of signal stability, the signal transmission of wired keyboards is the most stable, and there is no one!
That said, I really haven't used software from Wanwan before, and this is also a precedent.
Except for traditional characters, there is no difference, the two sides of the strait are family, and the culture itself is integration.
Lighting adjustment, key DIY, macro setting and other mainstream mechanical keyboard adjustment functions, all have, I feel that in the field of technology, everyone's trend direction is not much different.
There are 18 kinds of lights, just choose the one you like.
There are three ways to switch lights:
1. Multi-function knob switching;
2. Fn key combination switching;
3. Drive software switching.
Convenience features start with this control knob in the upper-right corner of the keyboard.
Zoom in and out, volume level, RGB light mode switching, press switch mode, rotate to adjust, very convenient.
Interestingly, the knob aperture lighting effect in each mode is also different, and it is convenient for users to form operating inertia when used for a long time.
No matter how many pages you have open at the same time, you're sure to quickly switch to your desktop to find a file or program. MKey's "Fn+F12" key combination implements "Boss Key!" function, jump directly back to the desktop, that is called a convenience!
Regarding the purpose of Fn, MKey made an instructional guide card to show the lazy people in the direction.
When the later product is upgraded, if the manufacturer preprints these thumbnails on the side of the keycap, it will greatly increase the frequency of use of these buttons, after all, not every user is willing to remember every button clearly - lazy thinking is very representative.
Wired keyboards break the signal ice and can be described as "unbridled" to use.
If it is a game environment, to cope with the complex operation needs, the keyboard multi-key no punch should be the basic guarantee.
Open the hKBTest software, tap the test at will, the keyboard can always give multi-point accurate feedback, and the full key is in place!
The turning drift, nitrogen acceleration, side perspective switching, etc. of Need for Speed all require multi-key use to operate, and the actual use effect of full key without rush gives me great motivation, and the overall performance is good.
Gunfight games, position ~ position ~ accurate or not, first see if you can walk or not get ~ a hearty decompression journey, dissipated some heat.
The hand feel feedback of mechanical keyboard is mainly affected by the shaft body and keycaps. The feedback force of the shaft body, the key travel, and the touch of the fingertips in the shape of the keycap are all key factors that affect the user's body feel.
The overall softness of the shaft body of Jiadalon, as well as the addition of the MDA ball cap, the fingertip wrapping feeling when tapping and typing is still very comfortable, and the input can be completed with a light tap, which is more comfortable.
The keyboard silent effect is also good, because it is designed with a double-layer silicone shock-absorbing pad at the PCB board, so that the sound and vibration of the keyboard when tapping are absorbed by the software, maximizing the user's comfortable and silent environment. Let's put it this way! It's not my first time with the tea axis, but it's the first time I've encountered a keyboard with such a noticeable mute effect.
After using it for more than a week, in summary, the keyboard feels very comfortable to use, and I don't know if it is the credit of the MDA keycaps, or the tea shaft, more silent design and other factors, in short, the results are satisfactory.
Trying early and experiencing more good things in life really has a clear improvement in happiness.
