The price of mechanical keyboards has continued to decline, and machinery that was once unattainable is now falling out of the altar. The hot e-sports market has completely ignited the mechanical keyboard market. Kingston, as a world-renowned storage vendor, is not the first person to extend the product line to the peripherals, and the same pirate company known as the pirate ship of the computer company has long been a cult in the keyboard industry. The storage of Zhi Qi is also a piece of sky in the keyboard industry, the personality of the look into the mechanical keyboard
Before the keyboard, Kingston also launched an e-sports headset. High cost performance, this is also the reason I look forward to the performance of Kingston peripherals.
So how is the flagship keyboard of Kingston, the largest store in the world? Take a look below.
Auntie Zhang packaging:
After learning that I was qualified for the evaluation, I used only three days before and after receiving the keyboard. I received a keyboard on the last day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. I had to send Zhang Shun's delivery speed and there was a point like SF Logistics.
Before you can only look at Zhang Aunt's out of the box, now you can receive this "value" seal, when the emperor feels really cool, and say it is not excited it is false.
Not to mention packaging is still quite my heart, mainly on this package there is such a humanized sticker,
I was called a messy beauty package
The beast that seems to be sealed by spells
After making a seal on the surface of my seal, there is a layer of foam wrapped inside.
The parcel is still a bit careless, and the outside courier bag is torn off before it is actually found on the packaging box. After all, there are hundreds of keyboards.
Unpacking:
Finally, the keyboard is fully packaged.
The packaging is not very different from the mainstream packaging now. Kingston black and red color is still relatively rare. The upper right corner tells everyone that this is a design for FPS games.
Look at other aspects of packaging
The side is introduced for the packaging content of various languages
The bottom is a graphic description of the keyboard features. The most noteworthy one should be the cherry mark above.
The side can be out of the keyboard packaging. Pure black corrugated box. In fact, the logo of the product can be marked on the box, which has both advertising effect and a certain decorative effect. The empty surface can better highlight the main body. (In fact, looking at Darwin's packaging 'smirking') why not do it?
Open the box and see the HyperX that I said best appeared on the inner box. Now appears in the keyboard storage bag is not bad.
The product's internal product promotion cards and manuals are thicker and explain in more detail. It is advisable to take a moment to look at them.
Then this is the protagonist keyboard
By wrapping a whole, softer sponge around the bottom and bottom, it can be seen from this point that Kingston is very attentive to the product and the protection is also worthy of recognition.
Take out the keyboard, at the bottom there is another trick, the keyboard line and the distribution of the keycap hidden below
The keyboard accessories are still very rich, because the keyboard is very thin, it also eliminates the need for hand-holding
HyperX Alloy keyboard is a key-line separation design, red and black keyboard braided wire, the interface is also specially reinforced, durable, plug the keyboard has two USB ports, one for the keyboard line, one for the keyboard HUB power supply line. The workmanship and quality of the wire did not matter. At the moment, I got a keyboard line.
Usually there is no take-away habit of the keyboard, and this storage bag should not come in handy. It must be praised that the workmanship of the storage bag is also first-class, and the softness and thickness are good, and the keyboard can be given to it safely. Kingston's commitment to quality can be seen from the workmanship and quality of these parts.
keyboard:
First look at the keyboard, nowadays very popular ultra-narrow frame and suspension keycap design. The keyboard is more convenient to clean. There is nothing special about the shape, but it is not necessarily a mainstream design. The design reflects the calm and conservativeness of Kingston's first attempt on the keyboard.
The light is only a single color of red, red light and black keyboard really combined into the Kingston classic red and black color. In RGB has been so hot today, the 899's keyboard is not so strong, to see the price of the keyboard with the price of the Friends of the same business which is not playing lights play. The mode of lighting is also relatively small, making me a little disappointed with playing lights.
There is nothing prominent about ALLOY's keycap, but I really like it. The black two-color injection-molded ABS keycaps are available from 1999 to 1999 under the hood. What I like is the fine character of this keycap, which is thicker and thicker and a bit more lovely.
It can be seen that although it is a closed character, these small letters are printed very clearly. The edges are very clear and there is no reduction in overall quality due to the increased difficulty of the process. This level of closed characters can only be seen on the mid-to-high-end keyboards of major manufacturers.
The keycaps work quite well, the thickness is medium-in-the-range, and the light-transmitting is medium-handed, and the quality is quite satisfactory. The four stiffener caps are generally strong.
The large key and space bar are balance bars. The space sounds a bit boring and feels a little flesh. The other major keys feel well tuned. Feel the overall performance is excellent.
The original cherry green shaft is also my favorite axis body. The keys are crisp and refreshing.
The whole keyboard is still very thin from the side, and it is the thinnest one of my keyboards. Such a thin keyboard can basically eliminate the hand rest.
The back is also a unified keyboard simple style, the corners of the four non-slip foot area is small, non-slip effect is acceptable. In fact, non-slip foot stickers can be made bigger, not to negate this anti-slip performance, but people will look at peace of mind.
The USB port on the keyboard is different from the traditional USB hub. From the cell phone charging pattern and the structure of the connecting cable, it can be seen that this is not just a USB expansion port, it should be a USB port on the computer. On the keyboard, it can provide enough power to charge mobile phones and other devices. After testing, the actual charging speed is similar to the charging speed of a mobile phone connected to a computer.
Aloy, as a keyboard for fps games, is more considerate of the game. Specifically for the G button to arrange an indicator, Fn + F12 open, this mode, the Win key will be locked, the keyboard enters the full key no punch state.
The eight special FPS game-specific keycaps donated are not perfect in terms of craftsmanship. It feels more like a game, and although I don't play games, I still have it installed.
to sum up:For this keyboard if you look at the price is a relatively good mechanical keyboard. On the outside packaging, you can experience the Kingston style, and you can see Kingston's intentions from the packaging. The quality of the accessories is also very high, there is no quality reduction due to accessories, especially the keyboard line, very much like. I think and can send a wire puller or something.
ALLOY keyboard quality is very high, materials, workmanship, craftsmanship, the keyboard itself is quite good in all aspects. The design is slightly concise, there is no obvious Kingston's personality, a public face, forgive me for being too deeply affected by the keyboard. At the same time, it is a pity that this price is not on the RGB light. The same price of the pirate ship, Cooler Master is more competitive than the alloy in this respect.
The target is very clear about the target of the FPS game keyboard. The G-key game is more practical for the game. This should be the keyboard's standard. There are delivery game keycaps, this looks like little to be seen, not much workmanship, but I do not care much about this, because this character is more my heart. There is some regret that there is no driver software.
Overall, HyperX ALLOY is like a child who climbs upwards. You can see what he sees and see his province's lack of strength. As Kingston in the field of robot keyboards for the first time, I think we should be more tolerant of this kind of insufficiency, and people have to rely on a step by step to grow up. I believe that with Kingston's strength in the future there is strength to be able to do a good job of the keyboard. What is missing now is only experience and time.
