Since Cherry released MX RGB, RGB backlight has become the most popular selling point in the mechanical keyboard market. Whether it's a very simple and violent colorful LED backlight arrangement, or an enhanced version of the three core LED, or a serious SMD patch, in short, without RGB effect, let alone the backlight is a selling point rhythm.
Although the RGB backlight effect seems to be quite easy to achieve, due to the main control IC, light control and even light road, there are still considerable differences between each manufacturer and even each product. Cherry MX RGB is the most authentic and authentic. The combination of SMD chip LED and transparent shaft body makes its backlight effect excellent, and powerful drive control can make extremely rich personalized adjustments.
Next, there will be major domestic shafts. Due to technical and cost reasons, most domestic shafts are realized with three core LEDs. Since the shaft body or shaft cover has not changed, the backlight effect is not perfect. And due to technical and R&D reasons, different people have different opinions on the lighting effect achieved.
The Royal Kludge RG930 static capacitance series has been introduced before, and this time the Royal Kludge RG928 is a mechanical shaft series. In terms of packaging design, Royal Kludge RG928 is very simple, with only one logo.
On the side are various detailed parameters. The Royal Kludge RG928 body has black and white color options. The backlight is RGB backlight, and the key position is only 104 at present. In terms of shaft body, there are still four kinds of black tea, but the shaft body is Guantai shaft, which is also a kind of domestic shaft. To mention a little, there are three famous domestic axle bodies at present, namely Kaihua, Guantai and Gaote. Kaihua has the highest reputation because of its cooperation with Razer to launch the green axle.
On the back is the introduction of various selling points, such as gold plated interface, multimedia keys, win key lock, full key conflict free design, etc., which are very common or standard in mechanical keyboards. The most special one is the "two-color injection molding key cap", which used to be a high-end, grand and upscale key cap process. With the decline of cost, it has also become a popular trend.
As far as the appearance design is concerned, Royal Kludge RG928 has an obvious feeling of "game" and "home-made". In other words, it has nothing to do with Japanese simplicity. Royal Kludge RG928 is a standard 104 key design, and has multiple multimedia keys and function keys. For the white controller, the key cap of Royal Kludge RG928 and the white of the keyboard body are relatively pure, and the appearance is quite good.
Royal Kludge RG928 is a suspended design, or a bare shaft design, which also makes its frame very thin. In addition, the suspended design also makes the backlight diffuse diffusion beautiful, and the surface of the positioning plate has been sanded to further enhance the light diffusion.
As far as the overall design is concerned, Royal Kludge RG928 and Razer Black Widow series have similar elements, such as the uplift of the hill at the top. However, the contraction of the bottom of the Royal Kludge RG928 and the oblique cutting of the side are a little different, which makes the appearance more refined than that of "domestic".
The back is a standard design with two legs and five non slip pads.
Royal Kludge RG928 is designed as a combination of keys and wires. The wires are made of ordinary leather materials, equipped with gold plated interface and screen magnetic ring, and are designed in three directions and three outputs.
Royal Kludge RG928 keycap adopts two-color injection molding process, which is actually two-color molding. Same as Royal Kludge RG930, its character font is relatively thick due to process reasons. Although the overall workmanship is relatively good, the two-color molding part is not full enough, and the nozzle treatment is also relatively general. Of course, on the whole, considering its price, Royal Kludge RG928 can be forgiven.
In terms of shaft body, Royal Kludge R928 uses Guantai shaft, which is also a famous shaft body among domestic shafts. At present, Kaihua shaft, Gaote shaft and Guantai shaft are the first group of domestic shafts. Many domestic or foreign brands use this shaft body or OEM products. Of course, the most famous one is the green shaft jointly developed by Kaihua and Razer.
The four color axes of Guantai axis are adjusted with Cherry axis as the sample, which means that the hand feeling performance is basically the same. Comparatively speaking, Guantai axis is slightly lighter than Cherry axis in the pressure hill, which makes it feel more crisp. In terms of consistency and edge pressure, its performance is also enough, which is equivalent to the latest batch of Kaihua axis.
In terms of backlight, compared with the Royal Kludge R930, the Royal Kludge R928 is quite comprehensive. Of course, as mentioned above, the backlight effect and RGB light are more related to the master IC, light controller and light path, which also makes the same "RGB backlight" keyboard have this different performance.
The Royal Kludge R928 has a variety of backlights, but in fact, it is generally the brightness and breathing effect of a variety of color choices, and has rainbow dynamic flow. Although Royal Kludge RG928 has no corresponding driver software for personalized adjustment, and there is no more popular single lighting and custom backlight, its rainbow flow is actually the main selling point of RGB backlight.
Apart from the selling point of RGB backlight, the Royal Kludge RG928 is a very sincere domestic keyboard. First of all, as far as the appearance design is concerned, although the "game" and "domestic" flavor in the design of domestic manufacturers has not been completely removed, there are certain innovations in the detail design.
Although the domestic shaft still has a bad impact on everyone, in fact, the domestic shaft body has been making progress. With the batch of Kaihua shaft, both the process and feel have been improved. The performance of low-key, such as Gaote Axis, is even excellent in hand feeling. The performance of Guantai Axis in all aspects is not far from Cherry's performance. This also means that the domestic shaft body is no longer a factor that should be spurned.
Back to the keyboard body, Royal Kludge RG928 uses Guantai axis, two-color injection molding key cap, full backlight RGB and a variety of lighting effects, and also has a relatively suitable shape design. If there is a good price, it is worth recommending.
