Although the most lively competition in the mechanical keyboard circle is the axis competition, for consumers, the RGB axis is definitely the most eye-catching. Whether Cherry MX RGB has been released for a long time or Kaihua RGB, its lighting effect has been greatly improved, which is also the main reason to attract the attention of consumers.
At present, the RGB axis mechanical keyboard that has been sold on the market has a pirate ship K70 RGB that has skipped tickets for a long time and finally came on the scene. Razer BlackWindlow 2014 dazzle version is a newcomer. Today, the protagonist is a slightly silent QPAD MK-10. What's more interesting is that both Razer BlackWindlow 2014 dazzle version and QPAD MK-10 use the Keyvia RGB axis.
Compared with the Cherry MX RGB axis, which was released with great fanfare, the appearance of Keyvia RGB axis is a bit sudden, of course, there are some structural differences between the two. Cherry MX RGB is fully transparent, and the chip LED is designed on the PCB, making the whole shaft transparent. Kaihua RGB is realized by using three core LED lights, and the lighting effect is determined according to the light position.
Of course, I have said so much, but it would be better to explain it in kind. QPAD MK-10 is a mechanical keyboard launched by QPAD, which uses Keyvia RGB axis. It is the fastest and cheapest RGB axis keyboard in terms of price and launch time, and has certain advantages in cost performance. Previously, the mouse pad launched by QPAD had the name of a painting factory because of its exquisite patterns and fine workmanship. In addition, it also has several high-quality mice, which are also deeply rooted in e-sports, and MK-10 is its latest mechanical keyboard product.
From the perspective of packaging design, the nickname of QPAD MK-10, Xiaobai, is not casual. It is good to match the theme white with the grey of QPAD. The middle part is a large part of MK-10, and the upper left corner is the selling points of various features.
Various selling points in the upper left corner, such as multimedia keys, 50 million key life, RGB lights, full key non impact and gold plated interfaces. Of course, the RGB Color LED and Kaihua Axis are the most noticeable, which is also a feature of QPAD MK-10.
On the back is the introduction of selling points in various languages.
There are also various selling points on the side, which is quite practical. The QPAD MK-10 uses the human body mechanics curve key design, a variety of light colors, tripods, multimedia keys and an attached hand bracket.
The internal packaging of QPAD MK-10 is very conscientious. Two large sponges make the keyboard hanging in the air, which also makes the overall packaging larger.
QPAD MK-10 has quite a lot of built-in accessories, which can be called the conscience of the industry. The QPAD MK-10 is equipped with two mini USB interface data cables, a key puller, a mini to miroc USB connector, a dust-proof cloth and an inert sponge holder.
Perhaps you are wondering why the QPAD MK-10 is equipped with two mini USB data cables? The two data lines both use gold plated design at the interface. The difference between the two is in the wire material part. One of them is white, while the other is LED streamer. Whether you are cool or low-key, it can meet your requirements.
In addition, its adapter uses a gold-plated design, and the hand holder is an inert sponge, which has a good improvement for daily use and use experience.
The QPAD MK-10 is designed for the 87 key position, which is very special in the shape design. Personally, I like this kind of game or the feeling of E-sports. Besides the details and characteristics, I won't have all kinds of wonderful feelings of domestic game keyboards.
View various details. The QPAD MK-10, as a mechanical keyboard in the style of positioning e-sports, is quite special in some details, or the signal it releases is e-sports and strong. From the design of edges and corners and lines, as well as the indicator light and vacancy, it has a very incongruous sense of balance. It can be seen that the character of "Q" key is designed, that is, the logo style of QPAD, which is very interesting.
The back is also white, and the line design also has some embellishment. In addition, four long foot pads and two foot stands are also provided as standard.
The tripod is made of hard plastic material, and its skid resistance is fairly good.
The QPAD MK-10 is designed for the separation of keys and cables. It uses mini USB interface and three-way wiring.
View various details on the side. You can find that QPAD MK-10 has several logos and notch designs on the side. These gaps are of little practical significance, but they bring a certain sense of design, which is more interesting compared with the setting of other standardized standards. The two larger logos on the side are slightly more colorful.
For the axis part, the QPAD MK-10 uses Keyvia RGB axis. Many keyboards of Kaihua Axis have been put on the stage before, but after several batches and several manufacturers' use, the feel and consistency of Kaihua Axis are still inferior to Cherry's, but daily use will not have much impact, which is one of the reasons why Kaihua Axis has become a new force this year. The large key position uses the stabilizer bar design, and the tuning is standard.
In fact, Keyvia RGB axis uses three core LED lights on the basis of Keyvia axis. Because the three core LED lamp holder is relatively large, the originally used lamp hole needs to be redesigned or reprocessed for normal insertion and use. Of course, the PCB needs to be redesigned accordingly for normal use. Compared with the full transparency of Cherry MX RGB axis, the design method of Kaihua RGB axis can only ensure the brightness of the light point.
QPAD MK-10 uses RGB axis, and its lighting effect is much better than that of ordinary LED lights. There are five colors available, namely purple, blue, white, green and yellow. In addition, it can also set the color through the driver software, and the color selection will certainly meet your needs.
As for the lighting layout, it is mainly the popular e-sports layout. I believe you can understand it at a glance. Of course, there are multi-level brightness adjustment and breathing effect. I hope there will be more options later.
In terms of key caps, the QPAD MK-10 uses ABS material key caps, which are coated to make the fonts transparent, which is also the current standard configuration of backlit keyboards.
At present, the high-profile RGB axis, particularly good shape design, and free accessories from the conscience of the industry, QPAD MK-10 is very interesting in all aspects. Although the QPAD MK-10 is not powerful in terms of the light effect that has attracted much attention, it will be more fun if the firmware can be upgraded and liberated later.
In horizontal comparison, the RGB axis keyboards on the market at present, such as the pirate ship K70 RGB, Razer BlackWindlow 2014 colorful version and the upcoming Logitech G910, all sell for 1000 yuan, or even 1500 yuan. At present, the price of QPAD MK-10 has reached 890 yuan, which is worth choosing for interested players.
