Review on Gaming keyboard Bloody B820R LK Light Strike Blue, black, Russian by Jnis Zels ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

Having broken the previous membrane keyboard with a clear punch to the center, I thought about buying something new) The first keyboards that I used were reed switches. Loud (the impact of the plastic of the kuykaps on the plastic of the body), but almost immortal. Further 20+ years on membrane. I was afraid to switch to expensive mechanics right away, I decided to take something in between for a test. From the requirements - not to make noise throughout the room, not to break from an accidental / special punch, to be able to glow not brightly and not burn out your eyes at night, to have backlighting of 2022 and special characters (yes, yes, all sorts of blind seals and so on . I don’t want to I want, Schaub shone!), have a standard layout of buttons and a digital block on the right. Test passed! Yes, noisier than a membrane, but quieter than standard mechanics. Rubber rings for keycaps will not help. Tactilely with a membrane, the difference is like heaven and earth. As for the unusual font on the keycaps, you quickly get used to it and understand that if it were not for it, the backlight would be much worse. At the end of my experiment, I took mechanics on linear-optical switches from "three snakes" for an amount 4 times more than here. I looked at the keycaps and their illumination and . put the keycaps from here! They turned out to be much prettier and better highlighted. Except CAPS. Didn't get in. Mount is displaced. Now I have a "blazer" (according to the names of 2 manufacturers from which the keyboard is assembled).

Pros
  • Optical switches. The sound is not as loud as conventional mechanical ones. Normal illumination of 2022 and special characters on the buttons. Good build quality. Rigid base.
Cons
  • The software is terrible in almost every way. There is no open API. No synchronization with other products from this manufacturer. Each product has its own software. In general, tin. There are reviews on the manufacturer's products with a logo of 3 snakes, they say the software is rubbish! It's just that you haven't seen the software from the blood))) Yes, the software from the "three snakes" is peculiar, BUT! That software has a documented API, there is a single control center for all highlights, additional functions, macros and other heresy in one place! There is even third-party (and open source) software for integrating those products into everything, incl. and smart homes. It doesn't smell like this.
