preface:
With the popularity of online games, various peripheral products and brands are becoming more and more abundant, but there are not many brands that really make people feel very unique. Compared with the traditional old brands - Pirate Ship, Sirui, etc., Heteropole is a young brand, but it has its own advantages in workmanship and design. For example, a new product, the Heteropolar Warfighter Mechanical Keyboard, allows you to remove and change the shaft by yourself, which is very practical for solving the high failure rate of the mechanical keyboard.
The price of the keyboard of the Heteropolar Demon Fighter launched this time is relatively moderate, at about 699 yuan. In an e-commerce promotion, you can buy three kinds of axes and a gift package of axis puller for the keyboard. The name of the e-commerce will not be mentioned, but you can search for it yourself.
Since we know that its main product is replaceable shaft, let's take a look at its product introduction, which will give you the most intuitive understanding.
The official specific parameters are as follows:
With the official introduction, we have a certain understanding of the axle body and independent axle replacement, especially the characteristics of purple axle, gray axle and orange axle. But in actual use, can it meet our increasing needs for feel and operation? Can it meet the needs of an office user who has been typing for a long time? Let's continue to look down. It's time to really let everyone know the product.
Unpacking:
A technology product must have a good appearance design, because it must conform to its product positioning, so that it can be more attractive. Let's take a look at the perspective experience brought by the monster fighters.
The package uses very straightforward pictures to show its characteristics, especially the most prominent features of the three-axis, which is very obvious on the front. Although there is no text description, users who understand the product will also be interested in seeing the distinctive three-axis.
The back is more distinctive. Product information and features are represented by icons, and a variety of text descriptions are provided.
The most attractive feature of the simplified Chinese version of the manual must be the "magic array" modular mechanical shaft.
Open the shell, you can see that the inside is wrapped in a hard paper shell. I like the pure black color very much. The black color is calm and grand. This design has the same meaning as that of the monster fighters. It is calm and grand and has its own unique charm.
After opening, you can see the appearance of the product, but the packaging bag is still there, so you can't see it more clearly.
Integrated shaft puller, S and C, As a key cap puller, C as a shaft puller, a bit of slotting, as a keyboard that can change the shaft, this kind of shaft puller is slightly inferior. It is made of plastic, and the key cap puller and the shaft puller are combined into one, so the feel and experience are slightly inadequate. For the mechanical keyboard of the devil fighter, which is a major feature of the shaft changer, this kind of collocation is too reasonable, but by contacting the customer service, Suggestions have been made for such shortcomings. It is believed that with the sales of the product, the shaft puller will be improved to help users obtain a higher shaft changing experience.
Summary:
In terms of packaging, the overall visual effect is very obvious. The front side is the feature of its three-axis body, the back side has a series of features such as changing the axis and design features, while the side highlights its three-axis color features. In general, the packaging is still very textured and distinctive.
appearance:
As a mechanical keyboard, appearance is one of its eye-catching focuses, and details help to give users the most intuitive feeling in use. Therefore, there is still a great distance between product design and user experience. Let's take a look first.
The front of the mechanical keyboard of the Heteropolar Demon Warrior is a standard 104 key position design. The overall black layout has a unified vision. The upper right corner is equipped with a red indicator light and a volume pulley design, which is very attractive; On the back of the keyboard, there are 5 anti slip foot pads and 2 adjustment brackets, which can make the keyboard have a certain gradient, more ergonomic, and reduce the fatigue strength of the wrist during use; The middle of the back is the simple information of the product, while the different pole LOGO has a large engraving design on the back, and the product recognition is very high.
The front side is a whole metal steel plate, which shows that it has been carefully treated, feels frosted, is very delicate and has a certain texture, and looks high-grade; The advantage of this design is that it is convenient to clean up debris, and debris can be removed by using a brush or tapping.
On the whole, the keyboard design does not adopt fancy design. The simple and generous combination of black color will be a versatile color for men and women; In the process of opening and closing the back adjustment bracket, the damping is moderate, and the clicking sound can be heard, so that the operation recognition is relatively high. The anti-skid foot pad is designed on the bracket, and the anti-skid effect is excellent; The Devil Warrior's mechanical keyboard also has an expansion accessory hole on the side, which can support accessory expansion and make it more practical.
The keyboard of the Heteropolar Demon Warrior is a changeable axis keyboard. The mechanical axis adopts a suspended bare axis design. After the key cap is removed, the axis body can be easily pulled out for replacement by using a shaft puller. In fact, the advantage of the suspended design is that the keyboard can be easily cleaned, which is very practical for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The Heteropolar Warfighter has maintained the advantages and characteristics of the previous products in terms of quality and details, such as the design and workmanship of the cushion foot pad, which will not be worn out in long-term use.
The key caps of the Heteropolar Warfighter are made of ABS plastic and laser engraving technology, which improves the light transmittance. The white and black key caps are good in texture, especially the front. The delicate sanded feel greatly improves the comfort of the finger belly during typing. The white and black keycaps can have different visual effects after matching. As a common direction key, I like the matching feeling very much, and the recognition is very high.
From the front of the keyboard, the more prominent focus is the indicator area. After adding red light, the recognition is very high. The addition of the volume pulley is a finishing touch. In order to increase friction, the surface of the pulley is designed with twills to improve the feel. Sliding left and right, the feel and damping are moderate, and the response is fast. As one of the most commonly used shortcuts, The volume wheel is more practical.
As for the keyboard, it will not be moved frequently, but in order to ensure the safety and firmness of the data connection cable, the Heteropolar Warfighter has added a silicone protective sleeve at the keyboard outlet, which will not easily damage the USB cable when pulled, I was a little surprised that the USB cable was not equipped with a shielded magnetic ring, but the quality of the harness should be reliable from the visual point of view, with red and black color matching. The external part is braided wire, which is very convenient in sorting and folding, and is conducive to sorting the cable.
The SUB port has been gold-plated, and the other side is engraved with words of different poles.
Summary:
From the overall appearance, the mechanical keyboard of the Heteropolar Warfighter is relatively simple. The suspended shaft design has a three-dimensional effect from the front. The silicone protective sleeve at the cable outlet is orange, which extends the cable life and reduces visual fatigue; Anti slip foot pads and adjustable supports are very practical; The color of the indicator light and the design of the volume wheel are very distinctive; Compared with other keyboards, expandable accessories can be added to improve the playability of keyboards and cope with different users.
Shaft change:
The person who fought the devil in the different poles got the purple axis. The feel of the purple axis is similar to that of the green axis, and it can be fully competent in the usual typing, daily office work, input and games. Since the axis can be changed and several different gray axis and orange axis bodies are presented, it is a very different experience for those who are willing to do it.
In fact, as a daily mechanical keyboard, it is very easy to remove the key cap and clean the shaft. Now we have a key puller, which is more convenient. We get the complimentary two in one key puller. The first step is to remove the key cap and use the S end. However, in use, due to design problems, it is not easy to insert the key cap into the gap, It is necessary to press down hard. What is more reliable is that the quality of the shaft body and the key cap can stand such a toss, which gives me some comfort; When pulling the shaft body with the C end, as long as the two bayonets on the shaft body are aligned, press both sides of the shaft puller, the shaft body can be easily lifted and taken down.
Some people are worried about the damage to the shaft base when pulling the shaft body, which can be assured. As a product with replaceable shaft, they took this into consideration at the beginning of the design, and do not worry about the damage. The shaft body and keyboard panel belong to two different mechanisms. When in use, the shaft body is fixed on the panel through a snap, and the contact point at the bottom of the shaft body is that two contacts on the circuit board contact the base contact, and the LED backlight is designed on the circuit board. The bright light you see makes the key cap bright through the light guide column on the shaft body, so as to achieve the purpose of backlighting.
As a hands-on person, disassembly is not a big problem. After removing the shaft body, you can see the internal structure. The LDE lamp is of chip design, while the metal contact is of copper design. Compared with the design of other pin contact, this metal contact reduces the failure rate. The Z-shaped pressure contact structure is adopted for changing the shaft of the heteropolar shaft to allow the elastic metal sheet to contact the shaft pin to complete the connection function. In order to increase the contact stability, it uses beryllium copper materials and gold plating technology on the metal sheet to ensure that the MMS shaft has 1000W times of shaft changing times with known beryllium copper characteristics, which has more advantages than other shafts.
Disassembly of shaft body:
As the distinctive purple axis, gray axis and orange axis, observe their internal structure and see what their characteristics are? After disassembly, you can see the real interior and show us.
Three kinds of shafts, purple shaft, orange shaft and gray shaft, which can be changed by the heteropolar shaft. The bright white column seen from the front is the light guide column.
Let's talk about the feel experience here. The feel of the purple shaft is similar to that of the green shaft, but the design of the heteropolar shaft is that the trigger stroke is 1.5mm, which is 25% shorter than the general mechanical shaft 2mm, and the pressure is about 50g. The feeling is that the voice is crisp, but the voice is slightly soft, which reduces the impact on others. When using the heteropolar shaft, the feedback is moderate, Long term use will not cause finger pain and fatigue.
During use, you can feel that the gray axis and orange axis have the same feeling, both of which are slightly less stressful. They don't have the obvious feeling of black axis and tea axis in the impression, and they are the improved version of black axis and tea axis. It is easier to type than other shafts for a long time, much quieter than the Nimoso at hand, and more comfortable to handle.
The pins of the metal spring pieces are relatively short. If you need to use other shaft bodies, you need to handle them by yourself. For example, the long pins of the green shaft can be cut short to use the universal heteropolar shaft.
Look at the metal sheet, you can see the contact of beryllium copper alloy. The advantages of beryllium copper are very obvious. It has a series of excellent physical, chemical and mechanical properties, such as high strength, elasticity, hardness, fatigue strength, small elastic hysteresis, corrosion resistance, cold resistance, high conductivity, non-magnetic, impact without spark, etc. This is a known characteristic, so it should be more durable than ordinary alloys, This also guarantees its 1000W shaft replacement requirements.
From the picture, the cross structure of the three shafts is different, with different parts.
The purple shaft plastic shaft body is separated, which has the advantage that it can produce sound without damaging the formation of paragraph feeling, similar to the feel of green shaft.
The grey shaft is integrated, but it lacks a bump, which allows the metal shrapnel to touch directly, without a sense of paragraph, similar to the feel of the black shaft.
The orange shaft is also an integrated design, but it has a small bump, which is slightly obstructed by the metal shrapnel. The sense of paragraph is not obvious, similar to the experience of tea shaft.
It is also convenient to disassemble the shaft body. The buckles around the shaft body can be opened in turn to remove it, and then the parts can be removed in turn to complete the disassembly of the shaft body. The product structure is It is composed of spring, cross column, two metal sheets, bright column, etc. This design is very simple. The base and the buckle can be combined into one.
use:
The heteropolar axis does not provide RGB light design, but solid color light, and has certain operation shortcuts. In use, as long as you remember the combination keys, you can complete the adjustment of daily use.
The light operation mode and shortcut are described in the manual:
PS: NUM1=1 above the small number key
Mode 1: full bright FN+NUM1
Mode 2: All off FN+NUM2
Mode 3: breathing lamp FN+NUM3
Mode 4: Full on and single off FN+NUM4
Mode 5: All off and single on FN+NUM5
Mode 6-9: custom mode FN+NUM6-9
Start recording FN+F11 in custom mode
Brightness adjustment FN+F12
▼F N+PU/PD can switch between full key non impact and six key non impact.
The white light has a good visual effect at night, especially the all off and single on mode. I like the ripple effect of typing at night. As for the effect at night, I need to experience it myself after I get it.
Drive use:
In order to improve personal independent experience, the demon fighter keyboard can download and drive its own settings, or update the firmware. The operating instructions are also relatively simple. After downloading and installing, connect the keyboard, and then open the driver page. How to adjust and use it depends on personal preferences.
The key management operation can carry out different operations. See the instructions. There are USB return rate, AFK breathing light, configuration mode, heteropolar key function assignment mode, etc.
If you want to set your own shortcut, you can set it in the key function assignment.
You can also perform macro editing. The feature of macro editing is that you can set a complex set of key combinations and assign them directly to one key, which is very practical in game operation.
Technical support can update software, firmware, etc.
Summary:
In appearance, the Warrior uses the whole steel plate panel plus the suspended shaft body design, and the more personalized volume pulley design, which has a strong visual stereoscopic sense; As a keyboard that can change the axis, the axis changing method of the Heteropolar Warfighter is more practical. Users who love to toss and turn prefer its more independent design, while Xiaobai users prefer the experience that it can complete the disassembly and assembly of the axis without much effort; Different shafts bring different experiences, and are more suitable for users who need to type for a long time and surf the Internet; For game users, the macro editing mode in the driver can make the operation easier and faster, which is conducive to improving the game experience; In general, devil fighters are suitable for users who have individual needs and can operate independently.
