First of all, I am very grateful to Zhang Aunt for giving me the chance to participate in this test, and gave me a gift at the beginning of the new year. Due to the Spring Festival holiday back home in the countryside, SF Express did not send delivery points to the township at the end of the year. Therefore, the keyboard for the New Year's Eve to the county seat helped me collect a relative and collected it until the next year. Although my heart is very excited, but also can not be relatives to come to a scene out of the box, just remove the courier bag. However, this was my second successful application for public beta, so when I saw the express delivery, I had a look. The surface of the SF bag had no previously prominent Aunt Zhang stickers, and even the unique tape was not affixed. It may be Aunt Zhang’s job. The staff also wants to quickly send the goods home to the New Year.
The courier bag was opened and the keyboard was wrapped in a thick bubble paper. The eye-catching tape was present.
When you come home, you can't wait to open the express to experience. I entered the pit mechanical keyboard less than half a year, because the first contact with a customized keyboard is a keyboard with an independent direction of the 60% distribution keyboard - XD60, so the 60-key keyboard is not unfamiliar, although many The GH60's allocation defaults to the poker distribution, but it hasn't touched the most famous mass production keyboard that can be found on the market. Thanks again to Zhang Aunt for giving me the chance to get to know this keyboard. This report will expand from the four aspects of Outer Box & Appearance, Key Cap & Shaft, Internal Dismantling and Use.
The keyboard axis of this test was randomly sent. My personal daily use is mostly the red axis, followed by the tea axis, and the green and black axes are all less used. Among the four common axis bodies, the black axis is Most disliked, no matter if it is typing or games, the fingers are too tired for a long time. Red tea is naturally the most favorite. Although the blue axis is cool, it is too noisy and it always feels that this very brittle shaft will have a long service life. Shorter, so I’m not willing to knock on the keyboard, so I’ve been wondering what axis I’d send before unpacking. The mood of waiting is like the lyrics of a song that I heard in elementary school: Tomorrow is the chocolate candy in the box, what tastes, is full of imagination... Although I haven’t used any previous generations of poker, I’ve seen a lot of box stickers. In the side of the box, the black and red squares of a playing card will be used to indicate the color of the shaft, but this box is not on the outside, or I have changed the logo and I do not know.
Open the bubble paper, and attach a piece of paper outside the box. When you open it, it is a piece of public notice. The content is probably the contents of the page prompts when applying for the test, and the writing tips of the public test report. Last time it was not. See you. ↓
The black carton has an ikbc logo and anti-counterfeiting label in the upper left corner, and a POKER2 logo in the middle. The lower left corner and the upper right corner are the new poker2 representative geometric patterns (unclear). ↓
The side of the long side is the model number and the two-dimensional code, and it is probably the website. ↓
The short side is the product model, manufacturer, customer service information, warranty card and other instructions.
On the back is some of the parameters of the product, such as measurements, weight, etc. There is a red cherry MX axis sign next to the model. I saw this sign as a red axis, and I thought about it later. If the sign color represents the axis body, , how the black shaft printed up.
Open the box and catch the eye is a smaller paper box, presumably the keyboard body, sent in the middle of the RGB two-color key cap and a simple wire puller, which is the IKBC tradition, the right is two The data type of the root type-c interface.
Open the small box, the keyboard quietly lying in a translucent plastic packaging, did not think it is a black keyboard, in fact, I personally prefer the white keyboard, especially with the color keycap.
Look at the accessories first, two data lines, one is a combination of type-A and type-c, and the other is a dual type-c interface.
The material of the two lines is also different. One is nylon braided, and the other is plastic. Obviously, the nylon looks higher, and it comes with cable tie and shield ring.
The keyboard is connected to the right-angle interface, that is, using the original line to basically say goodbye to the front line, the keyboard bottom case also has a rational slot, this will speak later.
RGB two-color keycaps are two blue Alt, two red Ctrl and two green Shift. There is also a wire puller, which will be discussed later.
The instructions are in the small box on the keyboard and you can see the keyboard. Saying that this is the first time I have used the keyboard's hard-programming features, it wouldn't be true without reading the instructions.
Unveiling the last veil, the body of the keyboard appears before the eyes. 60% of the size can be controlled in one hand, but the length is only 29cm, can be described as the choice of the mini keyboard (do not consider 40 distribution, do not know how to start).
The front is dark gray PBT material laser key cap, OEM height, the font is not completely centered, but in accordance with the layout are located in the upper left corner and upper right corner, remember that the previous poker font looks like in the middle, and the English alphabet font is not the same, In comparison, I prefer the current font, which looks more delicate and delicate.
There are four non-slip mats on the back and there is no foldable stand, so the height of the keyboard is not adjustable. The lower left has the unique geometric pattern of this generation of poker2. The upper part is the outlet hole and cable management slot. The middle of the back is Ikbc's metal nameplate, on the right, has 6 dip switches.
This shell is said to be Ikbc after many design and improvement, and finally finalize the shape, especially the left side of the geometric pattern, to add the embellishment to the original open bottom, which is the appearance of the most obvious difference between this generation of poker and previous generations . At the same time, there is a significant change in the data line outlet from the top of the right dip switch to the top left, which means that the new poker2 can not replace some of the personality of the GH60 bottom shell, such as wood, acrylic, milk shell , metal shells, etc., the same, custom GH60 can not use the current poker2 shell.
DIP switch close-up, the number of switches increased from the previous four to six, to meet the needs of more people, the function of the switch will be described in detail below.
Data cable interface close-up, type-c interface, positive and negative double-insertion, is that the front opening is a little too much.
Nameplate close-up, model, S/N code and MIC, as well as various quality certification marks.
As mentioned earlier, this keyboard uses a dark gray PBT material laser key cap, the feel of PBT material is more rough than ABS, there is a clear sense of matte, in addition to prolonged use is not easy to oil, laser carving part of the font touch There will be a slight bulge, which is also the characteristic of this process.
In addition, because there are only 61 keys, in addition to the shift key combination, the other part of the function keys are implemented with the fn key combination, this part of the key combination is marked on the side of the keycap, to facilitate the search, this is with my GH60 brush distribution The form is very similar.
WASD's four buttons with fn can be used as arrow keys, but it is obviously inconvenient. FGH has 15ms, 100ms and 500ms words on the three key sides. This will be used for key programming and will be explained below.
There is a logo for poker2 in the upper right corner of the spacebar. You can also see the three buttons for volume adjustment.
Side, ergonomic curves, from left to right are R1, R1, R2, R3, and R4 heights, respectively.
Use the key puller to pull down a keycap to see the specific workmanship, this key puller is more general, the two steel wires are relatively loose, it is easy to dislocation, so you have to hold the wire is better to pull.
A Q, in front of the keycap basically can see no glitches.
The back is also very clean and clean. The keycap has R3 printed on it, indicating that it is a R3 keycap. You can see through the back of the letter area or 1x key cap nozzle is not at the bottom.
Sure enough, in the back of the keycap, no one would notice this place under normal circumstances, of course, obsessive-compulsive disorder sees an estimate of his heart will always respond.
Trying to use a cell phone flash is obviously opaque. I don't know how to use a white keycap. This opaque keycap is more suitable for adding lights. The light from the keycap gaps out and looks very pretty.
The large-key water outlet is at the bottom. From the 2x backspace key to the 6.25x space, there are obvious traces of the nozzle at the bottom. It does not look so delicate.
Then take out a few colored keycaps and send them to see. The color keycap uses a two-color injection molding process. It is to hollow out the top font of the keycap and fill it with different color materials. The advantage of this is that the font is always forever. Will not wear, and feel no sense of any protruding, and the keycap is a flat, of course, cost is higher than laser engraving or printing.
This is how white fonts come.
Compared with the own keycap, there is a certain difference between font and position, in addition to the middle of the two shift key is not protruding to both sides?
After changing color caps, the face value immediately increased by a large amount. Of course, if it is a white keyboard and a keycap, it may look better. I personally prefer the white keyboard.
Then look at the axis body, before that was random hair, and I personally do not like the black axis, took out the keyboard when a few paragraphs have a clear sense of passage, my heart suddenly practical a large part of the blue axis, be regarded as Nice result.
Cherry blue, sky blue shaft, on the lights, IKBC's keyboard is said to have set aside the lights, will take a look to open, each axis has a cherry logo.
Large keys, steel satellite shaft design, natural feel is not so clear letter area, from here you can also see the red circuit board under the black steel plate, and a large number of slimy lubricant between the satellite shaft socket and the steel wire.
Remove all the keycaps, patchwork and pleasing.
There is a LED lamp on the right side of the Caps Lock key. It is a Caps Lock indicator, and is lit in blue when uppercase is turned on.
The space bar is flanked by two four-leg RGB LED lamps for displaying the key layer number and programming. Saying that such a design is indeed very curious, I do not know for some short caps, such as the height of the DSA will not top.
As for the hand feeling problem, the hand of the cherry blue shaft does not need to say too much. This part of the article is used to knock out the keyboard. As a common axis, the most mechanically sensible shaft body is crisp and brisk. Feel is cool to take off when typing, fingertips on the keyboard is like dancing with your fingers, but the sound is slightly loud, especially in the case of steel blessing. In short, this wave will not lose.
Third, dismantlingSince the keycaps are all unloaded, please remove them by the way. As mentioned before, this keyboard is not the same as the previous poker. The redesigned bottom case means that the internal circuit has also changed. From the position of the screw holes, we can see some clues.
There are six screws on this keyboard, which are used to fix the inner shell and the outer shell. The following figure is marked with a red circle, and there are no fragile stickers or the like.
The screw is pointed, not the flat head of the keyboard in the usual group. It is very tight. The large and small screwdrivers in the house are not very easy to screw. The screws are almost screwed. Maybe I think this is more intuitive than the fragile stickers. After all, If you open the cover, the screw cannot be intact.
Half of it was demolished and half of it was demolished. The screwdriver at home was really bad and the school had better. After the screw was finished, it was found that it could not be directly taken out. It was originally a key-line separation module that led to the type-c interface.
Key line separation module close-up, very common 5p plug.
The main body of the circuit board is red, I like the red circuit board very much, because had carried on three 60 and one pad before, it is red board, looks very bright, this board of poker is same, very clean, above There is no unclear liquid such as flux left after welding.
The main control area, why do the blue chip and the green chip on the master chip? Can't see is the model, I'm not very concerned about this, large and small chip resistors, capacitors and crystals, do not know what is the role... It touches the diode next to each button with a pin, for Do you not unite? The role of the diode is to achieve no punching of the key position.
The dial switch part is a very high-end look.
The mainboard's key-line separation socket should be replaced with an ordinary one.
In the lamp section, you can see the reserved lamp position, and each lamp position has been soldered. When you want to add the lamp, you only need to use the soldering iron to melt the solder. You can insert the LED directly into the lamp hole and fix it. , just do not know that the pad is solid and not strong.
The circuit board components are neatly arranged, the solder joints are also very uniform, and the board is very clean. According to my layman, it is indeed a very pleasing circuit board. A good circuit board is the basis for the stability of the keyboard. Axis can be changed by oneself, and the circuit is not repaired. Just the appearance of the separation of the key lines makes me more unexpected. I also wanted to study how the type-c interface is used on the keyboard.
The keyboard is eventually used to use, so after some toss, it is still necessary to return to the original purpose. Mentioned earlier that the keyboard comes with two data lines, one of which is a dual type-c interface, now more and more desktop motherboard comes with type-c interface, in addition to Apple's latest MacBook, only With the type-c interface left, it is possible that ibkc is also considering Apple users sending two lines. But I don't have an Apple device. What's the use of this line? Looking at my mobile phone, I suddenly thought that many types of mobile phones now use the type-c interface. Can I insert the keyboard into my mobile phone? Black feed dog!
First insert the keyboard, because the self-contained interface is a right angle, so the line from the left and right sides, so the benefit is to prevent the data line and the keyboard from leaving due to sudden pull.
The width of the cable management slot is consistent with the data line width. It is not difficult to plug, but it will not easily fall out.
At the other end, I plugged into my own millet 5 and played first.
Plug in the light on the left side of the keyboard space bar to the left, I do not know if it is switched to another layer, or connected to the phone is like this, in short, the feeling should be more power.
After plugging in, the mobile phone can also recognize the physical keyboard normally, and there is a prompt to switch the input method. In addition, the virtual keyboard provided by the mobile phone is automatically hidden and no longer appears.
Directly typing "smzdm", Sogou input method on the phone directly shows "what is worth buying", and there is no difference with the method of input on the computer.
Put another line plugged into the computer, you can see the poker2 and my 15.6-inch Assam laptop size gap, the computer is wider than the keyboard a big circle, pocket mini can be seen.
Contrast with the computer's own keyboard.
In fact, I mainly wanted to try this so-called hardware programming function on my computer, so I silently opened the manual. The following is the flow of the specification demonstration, which mentioned that the first layer is not editable, then the second, third, and fourth layers can be switched using fn+right shift, and then the lights on the left of the space bar will be red, green and blue. Color representation.
The programming process description is very clear, I do not know much about it, this function is very convenient for me to enter a long string of passwords, the keys on the keyboard can participate in programming. But I also found a problem later, press the button that you program, the content of the programming will be repeated from beginning to end, and if there is a case switch, then it is very easy to have the problem of case confusion, such as the following I put one The key is programmed as "SMzdm". When these words are not loose, the five letters are repeated in succession. There is no break. If you loosen the middle and press it again, the uppercase may become lowercase, and the lowercase will become uppercase. How does this lose? password?
Later I noticed the FGH three buttons mentioned above, which are shown as 15, 100 and 500ms respectively. The manual mentioned that the time interval can only be used in programming and can be inserted repeatedly, so I tried it.
The specific usage is during the programming process. Before or after any character, press one of the fn+three keys so that there will be a corresponding break between the two characters, which can be inserted multiple times to increase the higher delay. I'm increasing the time interval after the last letter "m". The figure above is 15ms. You can see there is a slight delay, and the case won't happen when the middle hand looses.
The following figure is 100ms and 500 * 3ms, that is, even press three times, this interval is already quite large, so if you enter the password, then add a longer time interval at the end of the password, after entering the program key to enter the password is completed There will be pauses. When you let go, you won't lose more characters.
My previous keyboards were all written using tkg keys. Of course, the GH60 also has a lot of built-in features, including macros, but all are based on software rather than hardware programming, so the Poker2 upgrade is still quite interesting. There are four levels of distribution, of which three layers can be customized, which gives the needy people a great deal of space. But you need to remember which macro button is set on which layer, which is a lot of work. In addition, if you want to restore the factory settings, press the alt key on both sides at the same time, the space indicator will display white, then you can recover.
In addition, on the back of the six dip switches, I did not very carefully studied, only know that 1 and 2 for the allocation switch, through four combinations to achieve four different arrangements, 3 for the exchange of fn and pn position, through and The combination of key programming and the implementation of a custom pn position, 4, 5, 6 three switches are independent direction keys, Caps/Ctrl and Win/Alt are interchanged. It may be useful for people with special needs. For people like me who have been using standard arrangements, there is no habit of using a back switch.
In the end, I bought the XDA without a full set of the previous ones and put them on. There was a little expensive and not willing to buy. To see if I wanted to try the ball cap, I bought a set of 260 keys at the acquaintance. , Almost all of the current allocation, for poker is a piece of cake, but unfortunately the color is relatively simple, but the value is indeed not low.
What if I want to use the arrow keys? Come to death!
For me who rarely buy a mass-produced keyboard, the contact with the new poker2 is not a surprise for me. Outstanding shell design, positive and negative type-c interface, standard two data lines, and Excellent key feel and large-key satellite axis tuning, the most important is the ikbc play a lot of new tricks on this keyboard with only 61 keys. Whether it is hardware programming or the combination of multiple switches, this keyboard has a wider range of use. But at the same time, the price of 499 yuan is not much better than the previous generation of poker. If the buyer does not have special needs for programming, the previous generation of poker may be a better choice. However, the glow of this keyboard will not be easily concealed, after all, it is very special, has unique design and function, and will be very happy for those who want to toss or need these functions. This year happens to be the Year of the Rooster, and it has a unique relationship with the name "broken shell". I wish the new poker2 hatching new life!
