When I was in school, I was satisfied with the mechanical keyboard and which cost over a hundred yuan, and I would brag about it to my roommates. It wasn’t until I started working and gradually came across mechanical keyboards with higher price ranges that I realized that you get what you pay for. Due to the demands of work, the words written by typing on the keyboard every year are estimated to be in units of "one hundred thousand". In addition, I prefer playing games when I relax, so I spent 600 to buy it when I first started working. A TT mechanical keyboard with a green axis that has been used for six years.
I have recently become obsessed with mechanical keyboards of different axis types and models. Among the several keyboards I have used recently, I particularly like the products of the brand Duga, so I planned to buy one when their new product K610W came out. After receiving it, I have been using it for a week and would like to share my experience with you.
[Still good-looking]
Recently I bought two keyboards, the Duga Fusion and the upstart GM780. They are designed with 68-key green switches and 78-key silver switches respectively. The work needs have made me switch from the original desktop computer to Mainly for notebooks, the wireless keyboard and are naturally indispensable, and the small keyboard will of course be more suitable for portable use. This time I bought Duga K610W purely because I still feel that the regular 104 keys are more suitable for working at home. In addition, my first impression of Duga Fusion was very good.
I have to say that I haven’t paid attention to these keyboard designs for a few years. In my impression, I still thought that the keyboard was a traditional black and gray design without too many small details. However, after purchasing several new keyboards, I just discovered that the appearance of current keyboards has indeed improved a lot. Take Duga's products as an example. Whether it is Duga Fusion or this time K610W, a lot of thought has been put into the color matching and appearance details. Upstart The same is true for GM780, which will give people a bright feeling.
The new keyboard K610W has many selling points. It not only has three modes of wireless, Bluetooth and wired, it is compatible with Windows, MacOS, iOS and Android systems. At the same time, the axis also supports hot swapping, plus up to 360 days of super Long battery life has at least exceeded the existing basic needs for mechanical keyboards.
There are two colors in the Duga K610W series. One is the fog blue color called "Echo" that I like more, and the other is the dark green color called "Island". The color matching is low-key but can reflect your personality, and the keycaps are very textured. The PBT keycaps made by injection molding process have an opaque design and closed character craftsmanship. No matter which angle you look at it, the texture is excellent. The advantage of PBT material is that it is more resistant to wear and tear after long-term use. The strength is also very good, and the keycaps are not easy to oil, and the durability is very good. This is also the main material of keycaps from many major manufacturers. The one I use is more durable. After using the keyboard for a long time, some characters are now blurred.
The processing of the corners around the keyboard is also very detailed. The top left side is designed with a power switch and USB Type-C data interface. Switching between different modes is not performed on this button, but is switched through hot keys.
We often like to adjust the height of the keyboard to be slightly tilted to meet the ergonomic angle, but different people have different angle requirements, so Duga K610W adopts a three-stage height design for height adjustment. The receiver is also designed to be hidden here.
There are five indicators in the upper right corner of the keyboard. From left to right, they are the numeric key area indicator, uppercase and lowercase status/Bluetooth device 1 indicator, left WIN key lock/Bluetooth device 2 indicator, and 2.4G wireless connection/board. Download custom button configuration recall indicator light and pairing status/battery indicator light.
[The domestically produced shafts feel very good]
Because the Duga Fusion and my previous TT both have green shafts, while I chose the silver shaft on the Upstart. The two shafts are naturally different in terms of experience, but for the sake of balance, This time I chose the silver axis for K610W. In addition to the silver axis, K610w also provides red axis, silent red axis, brown axis and to choose from.
This time the shaft is a customized crystal shaft cooperated with Jiadalong. The shaft has been upgraded and optimized on the basis of the CAP shaft. It feels very stable and smooth, is gentle and does not shake the hand when it touches the bottom, and rebounds at the same time. The power is also quite strong. Different from the green axis , the green axis is crisper and noisier, while the silver axis is slightly slower and softer. For typing, I think both models are good, depending on the personal use environment. You can see the silicone pad in the space bar area, and there is a layer of sound-absorbing cotton inside, which effectively reduces the sound of the keys. Even if you use it at night, it will not feel very noisy.
[Macro definition for playing games]
For a player like me who is rated as Silver, there are naturally not many "showy" operations when playing League of Legends, so if some combos can be associated with key operations through macro definition I think it's pretty good. Of course, you can also define some commonly used functions in normal work, such as password input, account input, and even address input, etc.
[Summary]
If you really have a certain demand for a keyboard, I personally recommend that you choose a slightly more expensive keyboard. The personal experience during use will be greatly improved, such as this Duga K610W , three modes of connection, long battery life and support for multiple systems, I think this is in demand for many people, especially smooth and stable typing, which some membrane keyboards and cheap mechanical keyboards cannot Comparable.
