Speaking of titanium degree, everyone will think of SKY and its smart mouse. Today, we will introduce the mechanical keyboard from titanium TKM-300 。

Appearance display

The packaging of the metallist TKM-300 adopts black+red color matching, which echoes the color of the keyboard itself. The front of the package is pasted with the type of the corresponding shaft body used, and we get the original CHERRY MX green axis 。

There are no spare parts in the package, only a user guide.

We got the sandblasting red color matching, including red and black, and the key cap is black. The keyboard design is not very compact, but it is also well controlled.

There is a huge metal nameplate logo above the direction key. There is nothing to complain about. The problem is that putting Chinese names in such a prominent position is always a bit incongruous.

The key cap is ABS spraying The key cap has a certain skin like effect when it is first used, but after a period of time, it will inevitably have the problem of oiling.

We got the version of the green axis. CHERRY's green axis doesn't need much introduction. The axis body is equipped with a red backlight. The RGB axis is not used unless there are slots.

The LED red light beside the shaft body demonstrates.

After the keyboard is powered on, the red backlight lights up. The backlight permeability is good and even.

Like most keyboards, the TKM-300 also has three LED indicators, but the one on the far right is "GAME MODE", which is different from other products. To turn on this mode, you need to use FN+F12. After turning on the mode, you can achieve functions such as full key non impact and disable WIN key.

The keyboard itself uses a large area of metal, and the sandblasting process has a good texture,

The TKM-300 uses a floating key design, with a narrow border, and the overall visual effect is good.

The panel structure of the keyboard is very special, bending a whole piece of aluminum, so there will be no edges and corners where the lower part of the keyboard contacts the palm. However, this improvement is actually more meaningful for visual services, because it is usually not encountered in normal use.

At first glance from the side, the keyboard is made of a piece of aluminum. In fact, there are obvious seams at the bottom, but there are still large areas of aluminum at the bottom of the keyboard, and there are obvious large light strips on the side. The aluminum material is thick, and the whole keyboard has a certain weight.

From this point of view, due to the large area of the light strip, it is a bit uncoordinated. Of course, the effect will be good when the light is turned on.

It can be seen from the back that although the aluminum material is not a whole piece, the bottom plate is made of metal and embedded with a layer of plastic plate.

The sandblasting process has a sense of texture, and the edge of the keyboard doesn't feel like a knock.

The TKM-300 uses a standard USB interface, which is gold-plated.

Light effect display

Although there is only a monochrome red backlight, the TKM-300 also has different lighting effects, such as stars, waves, fireworks, diffusion, etc. It is still interesting to use. You only need to use FN and number keys to switch lights:

FN+1 is always on

FN+2 Breathing

FN+3 single lighting

FN+4 stars

FN+5 wave

FN+6 fireworks

FN+7 diffusion

FN+8 cross star

Compared with the backlight of buttons, the TKM-300 is more notable for its large area of RGB light band. Although the buttons are only monochrome, this large light band has 16.8 million dynamic light effects.

If you use the key to switch the RGB light band, there will be two working modes, one is always on, and the other is breathing. We can switch through FN and number keys:

FN+9 atmosphere light is always on in single color

FN+0 atmosphere light RGB color gradient

RGB light with multiple colors:

user's experience

The TKM-300 supports the titanium degree "e-sports wizard" drive. The settings for the keyboard itself are not complicated, and are divided into three parts: intelligent reconstruction, lighting system and function settings. The reconstruction allows users to change any key to the function they need, such as changing F2 to play/pause, which is more practical for users with special needs.

The light setting is more functional than the key switch. The light strip has four effects. At the same time, we can adjust the speed and brightness.

In terms of function setting, there is only a full key non impact switch on the TKM-300, which can be switched between "six key non impact" and "full key non impact". Of course, we can also realize this function by directly turning on "GAME MODE" (FN+F12).

It is measured that there is no pressure to achieve full key non impact under GAME MODE.

In terms of hand feel, CHERRY's original green axis certainly does not have any grooves. It has a clear sense of paragraphs, typing is crisp and crisp, and it has a full sense of rhythm when used. Of course, the problem of too loud a sound from the green axis also exists in this keyboard. As far as the author is concerned, he would prefer to use the keyboard of Green Axis for office use rather than for playing games. Several long keys of the TKM-300 use the setting of the satellite axis. The consistency of the feel is good, and it will not appear too "fleshy".

In terms of key caps, I felt good at the beginning, and there was no sense of stickiness on the surface. However, after a period of use, the keyboard would be marked with grease, and there was a slight phenomenon of oiling. As the first batch of keyboard products under the Tidu brand, there must be some small problems more or less, which we can understand. It is hoped that the firmware upgrade can enable the keyboard itself to achieve more function adjustment, and at the same time, some better material keycaps can be introduced for everyone to choose. PS： The author also found that the space bar of the original keycap will feel better if it is installed reversely.

summary

As the first batch of keyboards launched by Titania, the comprehensive performance of the metallist TKM-300 is still in line with our expectations. It has its own characteristics in terms of appearance design and materials, and the use of the original MX axis also guarantees its hand feel. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the durability, material and driver functions of the key cap. The preferential price before the deadline is 659 yuan, which is suitable for users who like the metal texture and have feelings for SKY.
