As a well-known peripheral manufacturer, several classic products of I-ROCKS are very popular with players and e-sports players, not to mention the cooperation with WE team and MISS, which makes its attached feelings and prices more interesting. The IK6 introduced today, in addition to continuing the simplicity and refinement of I-ROCKS, is also quite interesting.
Compared with the 6220, IK2 and IK10 launched by I-ROCKS, this IK6 is more feminine or refined. Why do I say that? It will be described in detail later. There are four versions or colors of IK6, namely black, white, WE team version and MISS version. There is no difference in functions between the four versions. They are slightly different in keycaps and details and can be selected according to different preferences or beliefs.
Compared with the packaging design of products before I-ROCKS, this IK6 looks simple and even artistic. According to the different versions, different main colors are also used on the package. In other words, the blue color of the MISS version is really fresh. I wonder if fans of MISS like it?
On the internal packaging and accessories, IK6 uses disposable plastic packaging, and the accessories only have instructions and a MISS cartoon promotional paper.
On the positive side, I-ROCKS IK6 seems nothing special. IK6 is designed for 108 key position, especially the compact design of F area and main key position, which can reduce the moving distance and improve the corresponding speed during operation. In addition, due to the reason of MISS version, its key cap is blue, and there is corresponding signature at the position of the indicator light, which is full of faith.
Check all details. Looking at the details, we can see that IK6 is still an ultra narrow frame design, which also conforms to the current aesthetic and fashion. In addition, the key areas are relatively separated, which makes the key cap form a certain sense of suspension, and looks more beautiful with the white base. IK6 designs the indicator lights above the direction keys and has corresponding MISS signatures.
The most interesting thing about I-ROCKS IK6 is its transparent base. How to say, at present, the appearance design of the keyboard is very similar. Occasionally, some game style designs appear, which is often the aesthetic distortion of the designer, so it seems that there is not much to say about the appearance design of the keyboard. I like the I-ROCKS IK6 this time.
Its base is polycarbonate, which is used on Nokia Lumia series and iPhone 5c. Transparent coloring, with white inside, makes the overall tone very fresh and attractive to girls. If I-ROCKS works harder to better design and use the lighting effect or liquid, it will be more distinctive.
It is more obvious from all aspects.
IROCKS IK6 is a membrane keyboard, but it uses its own unique cross mechanical palace column technology. Each key is designed with an independent key shaft, which is very different from the common slot of the membrane keyboard. Its key shaft is made of POM material, which can provide 3.8mm key travel and 20 million service life.
In terms of actual hand feel, although it is a membrane keyboard in essence, I-ROCKS IK6 is significantly improved compared with the common membrane keyboard. Compared with ordinary membrane keyboards, IROCKS IK6 is cleaner and crisper, without the consistent adhesive feeling of membrane keyboards. Although it is different from mechanical keyboards to some extent, its enough hand feel is good in terms of price.
In terms of key cap, it uses PBT and ABS mixed materials, which can not only avoid the disadvantage of ABS material that is easy to grease, but also ensure the crisp feeling of key cap. Its characters are printed by laser laser engraving, and will not fade after a long time of use. However, IK6 characters are thin and long, and the visual effect is not good. If you can use a cleaner font, the overall effect will be better.
One advantage of using the cross mechanical palace column technology is that you can use the personalized keycap of the mechanical keyboard. It can enhance a certain personality of the keyboard, and the membrane keyboard can also have the unique personality of the mechanical keyboard, which is also an interesting selling point.
The large key position does not use the balance bar or satellite shaft used by the mechanical keyboard, so it is a pity that the full set of key caps cannot be used perfectly.
I-ROCKS IK6 keyboard and base are not supported much, so it will sink at some points. The obvious thing is that the upper left and right sides of the keyboard will sink when pressed with greater force. Of course, this phenomenon does not occur in daily use. In addition, although I-ROCKS IK6 does not have a corresponding tripod, the keycap is the same as the mechanical keyboard, forming a certain ergonomic angle, so it can avoid fatigue to a certain extent, and is more thoughtful than the ordinary membrane keyboard.
I-ROCKS IK6's innovation in appearance design, especially the use of transparent sitting, breaks away from the traditional style of the keyboard, and the design of different versions in color matching, in addition to attracting specific game player groups, it also has greater lethality to girls. In addition, the cross mechanical palace pillar used by the keyboard is much better than the ordinary membrane keyboard in hand feel, and can also achieve individuality by changing the key cap. I-ROCKS IK6 has been listed, and its price is more than 100 yuan. I also think it is worth it in all aspects. Considering the additional beliefs of WE team and MISS version, it can be included in the list of considerations.
