Review on Gaming keyboard Bloody B820R LK Light Strike Blue, black, Russian by Wiktor Janic ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

In general, everything is not bad, but I expected more.

My very first keyboard with mechanical keys. The selection was not a random one for me. Earlier, I tried out the B800 and B820 at the store; both of them had blue switches, and I didn't care for the clacking sound they made. Despite the fact that, of course, it is difficult to comprehend something in a span of only a couple of minutes. I didn't really think about it when I got a B820 with red switches. I took it with me to my house in the hopes that not only a miracle, but also something interesting and would occur. I didn't enjoy it. For a list of drawbacks, see above. I wasted a couple of hours of my life messing around with this disgrace before putting the keyboard away. There are already other switches that I again didn't feel (not blue and red, but orange (with a click) and brown (without a click); they say orange is a little quieter than blue). At first, the plan was to pay another thousand dollars and change it to B975 (in order to understand for sure that I did everything I could and took the topper at the moment, so to speak). As a consequence of this, I came to the conclusion that I shouldn't waste my time with nonsense and instead went for the A4Tech KV-300H thin, which is very well-known in specific circles. There are no difficulties in acquiring familiarity with it, everything is quite convenient, and the printing is swift. To summarize, it is unquestionably superior to the B820 that was tested using red switches. It's possible that the choice with the B975 on the orange switches would have made me happy, but we'll save that discussion for another time. As a consequence of this, I am able to assert that once again I am persuaded by the notion that the average citizen's opinion of mechanics is significantly exaggerated. It does not in any way add to the pace at which the word can be typed, and it may even slow it down. There are also problems with the user friendliness of it. It's simply that these are OTHER sentiments, if I may put it that way, and sadly, their differences do not always come in the form of an improvement. In point of fact, for many gamers, it serves no purpose other than to be stylish. Even taking into account the fact that the price is several times higher than even very good membrane claves, I still believe that it is inappropriate to purchase mechanics in the general case (in general! If you enjoy some blue switches, or just enjoy the presence of Additionally, I am completely happy for you - this means that the purchase was not in vain). To the best of my knowledge and experience, there will be a greater number of drawbacks associated with utilizing even a high-quality mechanical one than there will be advantages.

Pros
  • - Cost (relative to the mechanical) - A backlight that offers the opportunity for a variety of challenging settings When it came to working directly with the keyboard, I did not experience any noticeable advantages. The following day, I turned over the keyboard to him. Having said that, I am not implying that the keyboard is of poor quality. I needed something that could be used for both work and play because I have to type quite a bit, but it does not appear to meet my requirements in any way.
Cons
  • In theory, I understood the drawbacks (you don't have to throw slippers because "this is mechanics, it should make noise"), but in practice, it's tough to sense all this until you've worked with the keyboard for at least an hour or two. - It was difficult to distinguish the red switches because there was no tactile feedback. The button, when pressed with a particular amount of force, begins to be pressed uniformly, and at some point (probably within a millimeter and a half), it begins to function without any identifying marks. Pressing the button with the same amount of force until it stops working is required. In theory, none of this matters when you're printing quickly; you may keep hammering away, and the pace won't be affected in the least; nonetheless, it will likely make you feel uncomfortable. It's been said that red is the best color for gamers, yet even gamers have to print things sometimes. To put it succinctly, for a novice. - It is still at a high level. Because I have been utilizing slims for the past decade, I have lost the practice of using high keys. In and of itself, it may be tolerable, and you might even be able to get used to it again if there were some evident benefits to it, but I couldn't identify any of those things at all. - The button caps most likely stagger rather dramatically, moving someplace by a millimeter due to the mechanics of a particular model or the general design of A4Tech's products in general. Even if it is difficult to notice due to the rapid printing, it is still not a very pleasant experience. Despite the fact that I was able to feel the old membrane, they also move a millimeter in either direction, and I was never aware of this. The older model B975 already has some form of stabilizers built into the switches. These stabilizers help alleviate the problem in part, but they do not solve it entirely. - The keyboard makes quite a bit of noise, even when using the "silent" switches. It is possible that it makes more noise than the older membrane claves. It would appear that the knock takes place at the precise moment when the key is fully depressed, and at the same time, in contrast to the membrane, it is not affected by anything that makes it more pliable. When traveling at speeds of more than 500 cm per second, all of this is pounding into the ears with such a very powerful burst. When using switches that need clicking, the process should, in theory, be the same plus extra clicks themselves. In spite of this, I'm not sure whether this would do anything more than alter the tone of the whole thing and make it more pleasant to listen to.
