[Preface]

As one of the important peripherals of the computer, the keyboard has the most contact with us. With the rapid development of domestic e-sports industry in recent years, the frequency of "mechanical keyboard" is also increasing. At the same time, more and more manufacturers have entered the ranks of mechanical keyboards. Today, I want to talk about the mechanical keyboard launched by Tidu Technology, which was founded by SKY (Li Xiaofeng), the first person in China's competitive sports - Tidu TKM610 Gunsmith.

[Unpacking]

As can be seen from the picture, the packaging of the firearm division is very mechanical keyboard. The product effect picture printed on the package is clear and eye-catching. There is a label on the upper right corner, which shows that the author has received the green axis version this time.

On the back is the product highlights and related information. You can see many highlights of the gunsmith. Later, the author will introduce these features one by one.

Open the package and you will find that there is another layer of packaging inside. Because the two layers of packaging are very compact, it can be said that it is very difficult to take out this layer of packaging. If you are a girl, you must have no energy to take it out. To tell you the truth, Titania is still lacking in the unpacking experience.

Open the last layer of packaging, you can see that the keyboard and lines are placed neatly. The fixation of the carton to the wire makes the keyboard firmly bound.

Take out all the products, and you will find that there are no other accessories except the keyboard and instructions. Generally, mechanical keyboards are equipped with an additional key puller.

Appearance

Back to the product, the appearance of the gunsmith is as cool as his name. The camouflage coat will surely fascinate many boys. The firearm technician adopts the 97 key design, but the size is similar to that of the 87 key keyboard, and the function of 104 keys can still be achieved. This can be said to be very attractive, and the compact fuselage makes daily carrying a natural problem.

The power cord is integrated with the keyboard, and the groove design at the bottom can place the power cord in the left, middle, and right directions to ensure that the desk is clean and tidy, which is the gospel of Virgo.

There is a small bracket at both ends to support the keyboard, and the whole contact surface can be fixed under the anti-skid foot pad, making the keyboard not only more comfortable to use, but also anti-skid.

As a 97 key keyboard, the input experience brought by the keypad is beyond doubt. Titanium turns the number keys into multi-function keys, and the function of the keyboard with key 109 can be achieved through FN key matching.

There are also many highlights in the letter key area Raise the S and G keys. STD and GAME are marked on these two keys respectively. Press FN+S to enter the standard mode, while Press FN+G to enter the game mode.

Features of standard mode: standard 6 key has no impact, left and right WIN keys are turned on, macro recording/playing is turned off, and light switching mode is turned off.

Game mode features: all buttons are free, left and right WIN keys are off (can be manually turned on), macro recording/playing function is turned on, and light switching mode is turned on.

If you don't know the current mode, press and hold the FN key for 3 seconds, and the S or G key will flash, which is very considerate.

The Gunsmith's Caps Lock key has a downward axis light. When you press this key, a red light will light up, which can be used to determine whether the current mode is uppercase or lowercase. For people who even confuse the upper and lower case, this small detail can be said to solve the pain point.

The firearm division's F1~F12 keys also have a macro function. By setting macros, you can easily complete some actions that require manual speed, such as the blind man's R flash in LOL, Raven's light speed QA, and so on. Complex operations can be achieved with one key. The gunsmith provides three macro trigger modes: single shot, semi-automatic and full-automatic. However, there is a disadvantage here that the macro key set by FN+needs to be pressed to trigger, and the FN key is on the right side of the keyboard, which leads to the need to put down the mouse in the game to press two keys at the same time. This design still has a great impact on the experience.

The axis light of the gunsmith is only red, but each button is an independent LED light, so the light is very bright. And press FN+5, you can customize the editing light, so that you need to light up the keyboard, the function is very good, but unfortunately there are no more special effects, but in fact, everyone's hobbies are different.

The gunsmith's key cap is made of ABS material for injection molding. A closer look shows that the surface of the key cap is also coated with a special coating, which has a skin like touch, making the handle more delicate. As can be seen from the figure, it still adopts the mainstream satellite shaft design. Compared with the balance shaft, it has the advantage of easier disassembly and cleaning.

The gunsmith I received uses the original Cherry shaft. Cherry shaft can be said to be the benchmark of the mechanical keyboard shaft. Needless to say, the benefits of the original shaft can only be known after experience.

[Experience]

Speaking of experience, we have to start a league of heroes. Cherry's green axis trigger key path is 2.4mm, and the pressure is 60g. It has a clear sense of paragraph, although the green axis is not so suitable for the game. But the actual experience is very comfortable, especially the "click" sound of the green axis, which brings a strong sense of rhythm. Playing the game makes people feel full of fighting passion, which unconsciously turns out to be supernatural in 20 minutes!

Summary

The Tidu TKM610 gunsmith gave me the impression that it is a mechanical keyboard with very strong comprehensive strength, and there is almost no obvious weakness on it. Although the price is relatively inexpensive, the design, workmanship and details of the entire keyboard are similar to those of the first-line manufacturers. Secondly, in terms of the use experience, there is no doubt that Cherry's axis makes it perform well in both games and typing. Finally, Tidu TKM610's attention to details is also commendable. Multifunctional digital keys, no driver macro recording, upper and lower case status light prompt, game working mode switching, etc. are all functions that can bring users an excellent experience. At the same time, the author also hopes to see SKY bring us more surprises after retirement!
