Speaking of mechanical keyboard, we may recall Cherry Of MX axis However, with the development of technology, the mechanical shaft has begun to enter a stage where a hundred flowers bloom. Today, I will share with you from Logitech Romer-G axis Of G310 。
The appearance of G310 seems to have a "fighting spirit". The keyboard is black all over with the usual blue embellishment of Logitech G series, combined with the half size palm rest and the hollow design on the left, which is a more sci-fi game keyboard.
Although the whole body is made of black plastic material, there are three processing methods: coarse matte, skin like material and mirror, so the overall layering of the keyboard looks rich.
The design of the key cap is also a feature of G310. It can be seen that it is common with the key cap of G910. However, due to the absence of RGB backlight, the lettering of the key cap of G310 is blue.
Key cap ABS Material, but there is a very delicate skin like surface layer on the surface, which can avoid oiling to some extent. What's more, the G310 key cap has a unique groove design, and the grooves on the left and right sides of the keyboard are slightly different. Users who first touch the keyboard may need a period of time to adapt.
Unlike Cherry's and Kaihua's mechanical shafts, G310's key cap uses four buckles to fix the key cap, which is more evenly stressed than the general cross design.
Like many keyboards today, the G310 keycap also adopts a layered ergonomic design, which makes users more comfortable to use.
There is a large hollow groove on the left side, which can be used as a handle.
The addition of hollow out and palm rest has added a lot of points to G310's appearance.

It can be used to place our mobile phones or tablets Arx Control The mobile end of the application switches the settings of the keyboard itself.
In addition to its unique appearance, the G310's inner "core" is also very special. It uses the product jointly launched by Logitech and Omron Romer-G mechanical shaft Today, when the mainstream Cherry MX axis and Kaihua axis are everywhere, the emergence of Romer-G is definitely a bright spot. The trigger distance of Romer G axis is 1.5mm , knocking life can reach 70 million Times. Compared with the common Cherry MX axis, the trigger distance is shorter (the red axis is 2mm , the latest silver axis is more extreme, only 1.2mm ）, the knocking life is longer, and the triggering pressure is also 45g From the perspective of parameter characteristics, Romer-G is closer to the silver axis, but not as extreme as the silver axis.
The axial structure of Romer-G is very different from that of MX axis. Four buckles are used to fix the key cap, so that the force is more even. The backlight structure in the center of the axle center adopts the crystal treatment similar to the interior of the lamp, so that the backlight effect will be more excellent. It can be said that this axial design is for the sake of brightness.
Compared with the general 87 keyboard, G310 adds a game mode key and backlight adjustment key. After the former is turned on, specific keys can be shielded in the game to prevent accidental touch during the game. It should be used in conjunction with the driver.
The back of the keyboard also uses a more eye-catching bright blue, and the G310 is also full of a sense of technology in the back that cannot be seen everyday.
G310, like most keyboards, has two levels of height adjustment.
The material of the data line does not match the aggressive appearance of the keyboard. The wire material is not thick, and the nylon braided line is not used, but it has an anti magnetic ring.
G310 button has blue backlight and breathing function. The light can be set in the drive.
As a mid end mechanical keyboard, G310 does not have the same RGB backlight, rich custom functions, and complex drivers as high-end products. However, as Logitech G series products, Logitech game software drivers are certainly universal. The functions of the driver are very simple. There are only game mode key shielding, light setting and heat map of pressing the key next time. For these three functions, light setting may also be more practical.
G310 has blue light. We can set the brightness, breathing effect and frequency of the light in the driver. Although there is no RGB and complex light effect, these basic light functions are enough.
Like other G series products of Logitech, the G310 driver can also count the user's keystroke times and heat map, and can also calculate the user's KPM (Not satisfied with the hand speed) For ordinary users, this function is not very useful.
As for the Arx Control on the mobile end, there are too few additional functions of G310, so there is not much keyboard setting in the application, only the function of changing the configuration file and checking the hardware working status, which is slightly weak.
In terms of performance, the Romer-G axis built for games will certainly not disappoint us. In the basic test, it can achieve 26 keys without impact (take English letters as an example). Although it cannot achieve full keyboard without impact, this performance can meet the needs of most users.
In terms of hand feel, because the trigger distance is very short, it means that when playing, only 75% of the general MX axis can be pressed by hand to trigger the key, and the key response is very fast. This kind of use experience is not found in the common mechanical axis. Romer-G doesn't have a very obvious sense of paragraphs, and the noise is not very loud. When pressed, it bounces back quickly, giving the impression that it is a bit like a tea spool that responds to the enhanced version.
We used the recently popular Watchman to test the game experience, which is an FPS game combined with action games, G310 performs very well in this game. Its light touch brings excellent operation experience and quick key response. This kind of light operation experience is beyond the black axis and the red axis. This is also due to Romer-G's ultra short key response distance design. In addition, because the resilience of this axis is not strong enough, users who are used to other mechanical keyboard axes may feel uncomfortable at first. Users who are accustomed to playing games with the "Powerful Diamond Finger" may be depressed at first. The sense of paragraph like the tea scroll also makes it not easy to get tired after playing for a long time.
After the experience of G310, we found that the current mechanical keyboard has gradually developed towards intelligent hardware in addition to the "traditional projects" such as shaft body and key cap. Logitech's Arx Control is a good example. It makes use of the linkage between PC host, keyboard and mobile phone, so that players can use mobile phone to complete the operation of changing keyboard/mouse settings when playing games, which is quite convenient. Of course, due to the product positioning, the application of G310 in this area is not very practical. Returning to the basic issue of hand feel, G310, a keyboard born for the game, has successfully completed the task. The Romer-G axis, the product of Logitech and Omron's marriage, has performed well in the game, and the keyboard's own cap coating also provides a good touch. However, the premise of playing well is that you have fully adapted to its ultra short trigger distance and grooved keycaps.
