As an ordinary consumer, when we intend to buy a mechanical keyboard, we will definitely be stumped by many terms such as switch body/configuration/hot swap/customization/. Or look at a lot of peripheral bigwigs' reviews, think this is good and that is good, and look at the price and directly dissuade it. In fact, the mechanical keyboard is getting started or entering the pit, you can put these aside first, watch the food and eat, choose the best appearance you feel, look at the small combined with your own use habits, text input or game-based? Finally, confirm that the shaft is complete. During this time, I got my hands on a new mechanical keyboard, and after using it for a while, I feel that it is the most suitable mass production keyboard for entry or entry, and it is the K615W from Durga. Why do you come to such a conclusion? If you are interested, you can take a look at it together.
Duga's K61X series has 610/615/620 three models, 610 is 104 keys, 615 is 97 keys, 620 is 87 keys, the three models cover different user groups, the three designs are the same, and the small size and convenient number keys are K615W. It has two colors, one is light pink, and the other is the one I pictured below, fog blue.
Duga K615W switch body selection is still very much,The first contact must be very messy,A closer look is actually two brands of switch bodies,One is a custom switch from the domestic manufacturer Kaihua,The other is a cherry switch from the originator of mechanical keyboards。 I have rarely experienced Kaihua's shaft, so this time I chose Kaihua's red shaft to try it, and this will be reflected on the side of the color box. In fact, the most important thing is that K615W supports hot swapping, even if I don't like it in the future, I can replace it as a whole.
The Durga inner box is also more exquisite, and the unpacking is very ceremonial.
Fog blue K615W true face,It's very heavy to get started,The whole is about 1132 grams,Mainly white,The commonly used key is dark blue,Supplemented by blue gray embellishment。 A sober color scheme. Fine matte texture, comfortable to the touch. Duga as an old peripheral brand, many accepted products, found that it has always maintained its own tonality in such a volume of keyrings, never blindly follow RGB, most of their products are the use of very elegant "white light", these will be after the model "w" letter can be easily recognized, white light is actually very attractive, this aesthetic may have to be experienced at a certain age.
K615W adopts a 97-key layout with a column, compared to the 104-key keyboard that everyone often touches, it reduces several infrequently used keys in the editing area, retains the small number key area, and is the most accessible keypad layout, which can basically be switched seamlessly, saving 20% of desktop space, and the small key body also reserves more space for players to operate the mouse.
The keyboard is designed with a narrow bezel, the space of the shell is actually very limited, and the indicator light is cleverly arranged in the middle of the input area and the number key area, and the space is well utilized. The 5 lights are numeric keys/case/connection mode/power, and the lighting effect is also very good-looking.
Duga K615W supports three-mode connection, up to 3 devices can be connected at the same time, the switching mode is the same as that of a laptop, and the way to switch through the right FN+Q/W/E/R, the keycaps with a combination of single keys basically have side-engraved fonts, and it is also very convenient to find.
Duga K615W front side frame is black,Also according to"International practice"In the lower right corner of the keyboard with its own brand brand,If you make protrusions or metal nameplates, the texture should be stronger。
Independent power switch and TYP-C interface, as a keyboard that can be carried out, it has a built-in lithium battery, but I checked the relevant information but did not find the specific capacity of the lithium battery, but from the official data, in the case of turning off the backlight, it can have up to 360 days, a year of battery life. It also has a battery life of 7~90 days when the backlight is turned on. Of course, this test data can only be used as a reference, and it will change according to the usage situation. The independent switch can reduce the loss of standby, which is important for battery life.
The most fascinating mechanical switch of mechanical keyboard, different shaft bodies have different feels, pull out the keycaps and take a look, the shaft body of the axis of the wall, plus the logo on the shaft body, is still very easy to identify, this is Kaihua's Turbo red switch, triggered at 45±10gf The total travel is 3.7±0.3mm.
In addition to a better input experience, the most important point is that you can toss and toss, Duga K615W in addition to the satellite axis of the whole key switch body adopts a hot-swap scheme, and is compatible with the common three-pin axis on the market, five-pin axis. If you really don't like it later, you can also replace it or DIY it yourself.
Kaihua Turbo axis memory should be released in 22 years,Now many keyboards have its figure,Its core is mainly the application of self-developed composite POM material,There will be a smoother input experience,There will be no sore hand for long-term text input。 Judging from the parameters, you may think that there is a little bit of a gap, but in fact, the reason why the key ring roll is this subtle detail change, not only the shaft body, but also the appearance and function.
PBT two-color closed-mouth process keycaps, the benefits of PBT material have been blown by various key factories for many years, and we have actually experienced it, I don't want to use it for a long time.
The keycap characters are clear.
At the bottom of the keyboard,Duga K615W exterior design is a more rigid line,This should be more obvious at the bottom,There is an anti-slip pad at each of the four corners,Separating 2 foot supports,There can be three height options。
The Durga K615W is used
OEM height keycaps, keycap height design is 2mm higher than the original, 2mm doesn't look like much, but the total input stroke will be shorter, the response is more keen/fast, silent and efficient input whether it is a game or text input is very good, so the red switch will be called a jack-of-all-trades shaft.
The storage warehouse of the 2.4G interface is on the left side of the right foot support, which is convenient for travel, and the design is more concealed when integrated with the appearance.
Matched with K615W is Duga's Zeus driver software,The function is not very complicated,It's easy to get started,In addition to the regular keyboard and macro settings,It has a nebula function,You can upload commonly used settings to the onboard memory,Carry it out,Even if you change the connected device, you don't need to readjust the settings,You can apply it directly,Very convenient。
The keyboard settings are still very rich, and you can change the key position or set the key combination to quickly realize the macro function.
Lighting pre-8+1 effects, the so-called 1 is self-defined, 9 kinds of lights are switched through FN+ rotation shortcut keys, and the brightness/speed of the first 8 lighting effects can also be set.
DugaK615WThe input experience is very pleasantly surprised,Corresponding to the Lofe marshmallow that is now being used in my hand,The effect of sound reduction and shock absorption is indeed obvious through the sandwich silicone pad and the bottom sound-absorbing cotton,There is no noise and no cavity sound,Lofe's marshmallow cavity sound is particularly obvious。 The feel is very light, typing is light and easy to touch, I may have heavy hands, typing basically does not exert much downward pressure, the fine frosted surface of the keycap has a grainy feeling, and the text input process is very comfortable.
Why is DugaK615W very suitable for entry or advanced keyboards?The first line is its small size,97 pieces are the final easy-to-use keyboard,Input and 104 keys are basically the same,Less trouble with large volume,Don't worry about 86 key numeric input trouble,3Mode connection basically meets most devices,PBT keycaps These are not to say, the replacement shaft is really a function that novices must focus on when getting started, before the shaft to understand the welding iron or the wallet is strong, now to change the shaft is really to change at will, do not like to easily replace their favorite shaft body, Jia Dalong / cherry shaft, as you like. It greatly enhances the playability of the mechanical keyboard and reduces the chance of changing the keyboard. If you are an early pit of mechanical keyboards and is a hundred pieces such as Rapoo such as "usable" mechanical keyboard, then you have to believe in the fact that the wool comes out of the sheep, sandwich silicone/silencing cotton, when the "key frame" is good, direct use is good, the keyboard should also be a good foundation, is the beginning of your toss switch / keycap.
