In terms of hand feel, my LOL level is relatively average, I only play matching games occasionally, and I use ADC type heroes. Because the keyboard's key position is slightly higher than the membrane keyboard used at ordinary times, I am not used to playing LOL when I first used it. I got used to it after playing a few more. The advantages of the colorful T9Plus one handed mechanical keyboard are gradually reflected, with light keys, clear sound, and good elasticity, The response is sensitive. ADC is not good at combo, but the response speed of the D key (flash) is faster than before, and it will flash to escape at a critical moment. After using the colorful T9Plus one handed mechanical keyboard, I am not used to using the ordinary membrane keyboard. I feel that the membrane keyboard keys are a little difficult. However, there are few keys on the keyboard, which is not suitable for typing. When communicating with teammates, you need to connect an ordinary keyboard.
