Review on Gaming keyboard Bloody B820R LK Light Strike Red, black, Russian by Stanislaw Sipko ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

Impressions from the transition to mechanics are mixed, since I switched from a scissor from the same manufacturer, I think many people know it. The fact is that after scissors, even on these switches, the key travel seems long and tight, although these are already one of the shortest and lightest switches available for sale (in classical mechanics, a 2-4 stroke is usually used). But the reaction to pressing is really instant, and sometimes it saves. Best of all, it is revealed when driving vehicles in offline mode (when there is no ping that affects control). Ride in GTA is a pleasure, especially when you manage to squeeze between cars at high speed thanks to the control without delay. In general, of course I got used to it and I do not regret buying it. But if I were to buy a keyboard for typing only (in which case I would choose the blue switches, but that would make little difference), I'm afraid that the mechanics as such would disappoint me. But this particular model is perhaps the best that meets my requirements from mechanics, in an affordable price segment and from what is found in retail.

Pros
  • Red (in my version) switches Bloody, namely: - Optics (instant response, a huge resource in theory) - Linear motion (thought that clicks would be superfluous in games, plus they slightly increase the required effort to click) - Short stroke before actuation (1.8mm) - Short full stroke (3mm) Good assembly, does not crackle, does not squeeze through, the buttons and the metal panel are pleasant to the touch. Restrained design (relative to other Bloody keyboards) Fully customizable backlighting (in this case it matters, because without backlighting the characters are difficult to see) - Full size (how to fly in GTA without it?)
Cons
  • Crazy fonts. I would still understand if it was due to technical limitations, but I saw the same keyboard on reviews with normal fonts, and apparently it was an earlier version. Cyrillic, located on the same level with the Latin - due to a technical limitation (LEDs are located at the top of the switch) Fonts are hard to see without highlighting. The backlight has exactly the brightness that is needed, there is no margin (if you reduce by 1 value, it is already dim) It was in my keyboard that the legs went without a rubber coating, although it was present in the reviews All of the above is nothing more than nit-picking, which has little effect on anything and overlaps with merits. I got used to the fonts in one evening, now it doesn't affect anything.
