Red Magic has released its first batch of esports peripherals, marking the expansion of its esports lineup from mobile devices to the PC. So, compared to products from established esports peripheral manufacturers, can Red Magic, as a new force, bring players a completely new user experience in terms of design and functionality? Next, let's take a look at the three-piece set of Red Magic esports mechanical keyboard, mouse, and mouse pad to see what makes them outstanding.

As soon as I got the Red Magic esports mechanical keyboard, I noticed that its 100-key layout is noticeably different from mainstream products. The four directional keys are integrated into the main key area, eliminating several keys like Print Screen, and the Insert, Home, End keys have been changed from a horizontal arrangement to a vertical single-row distribution. The advantage of this design is that the keyboard keys are more compactly arranged, the length is shorter, and it saves desktop space. In terms of operation, the author believes that these keys have relatively low frequency of use in daily use, so the impact is not significant, but it still takes some time to adapt to them initially.

The transparent design of Duangfeng on the Red Magic phone also appears on the keyboard for the first time, creating a stunning visual effect. Paired with a more eye-catching black-gray-red color scheme, it creates a strong esports vibe and greatly increases its appeal to gamers. The upper layer of the keyboard keys is made of non-transparent PBT material through a process of thermal sublimation, ensuring that the keys do not get oily after prolonged use and still provide a comfortable feel. The lower layer is made of transparent ABS material, providing a unique visual collision effect.

As an esports product, it is essential to have lighting effects, and in this regard, the Red Magic esports mechanical keyboard performs exceptionally well. The keyboard supports 16.8 million colors and 12 lighting effect modes. After the lights are turned on, you can clearly see the rhythm of the lights through the transparent lower half of the keycaps. Thanks to the Duangfeng transparent design, there is also an additional RGB light strip on the upper left of the keyboard, further enhancing the keyboard's cool lighting effect. In the upper right corner of the keyboard, there is a 1.47-inch display screen equipped with Magic Cloud intelligent control screen display interaction. It can display real-time parameters and Red Magic wallpapers. Users can customize their favorite images and use the knob to quickly adjust volume, monitor performance, and set lighting effects, which is very convenient.

In terms of the crucial switches, the Red Magic esports mechanical keyboard uses TTC Silver Switch V2. Based on the TTC Silver Switch, this switch reduces the trigger key travel distance from 1.2mm to 1.08mm, making the triggering faster. It adopts a dual-stage spring design, which increases the initial pressure but keeps the trigger pressure unchanged, significantly improving the Silver Switch's susceptibility to accidental touches and making the rebound faster and more responsive. TTC Silver Switch V2 has been upgraded to a silver-plated switch pin, enhancing its anti-oxidation properties and extending its lifespan to 100 million keystrokes. It is also factory-lubricated for a smoother feel.

With these features, TTC Silver Switch V2 has the advantages of fast and accurate triggering and is less prone to accidental touches, helping players stay one step ahead in intense games. It is worth mentioning that the Red Magic esports mechanical keyboard also supports hot-swappable switches, compatible with most switches on the market. Users can replace the switches according to their preferences, greatly enhancing its playability.

In terms of internal design, Red Magic has listened to player feedback and adopted the Gasket structure. By using the design of clamping the keyboard's internal chassis with upper and lower covers, there is no resonance or noise between the covers and the chassis. Coupled with the filling material that fills the internal space, it provides players with a softer and quieter typing experience.

The Red Magic esports mechanical keyboard supports wired, 2.4GHz, and Bluetooth three-mode connections. It can quickly switch between five devices (one wired, one 2.4GHz wireless, and three Bluetooth) through shortcut keys and the connection mode switch button on the keyboard's front. As for the latency issue when using the 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections, the Red Magic esports mechanical keyboard has optimized the 2.4GHz wireless connection, which provides low latency and stability comparable to wired mode. It also uses the nRF52832 chip to make the Bluetooth connection more stable and have lower latency. In terms of battery life, the keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery, supports charging while in use, and can provide a maximum battery life of up to 350 hours.

During usage, it was found that the Red Magic esports mechanical keyboard must have the knob function set. For example, to achieve volume adjustment, if it's not set, you need to press the knob twice to make the adjustment, which can be a bit troublesome. By setting the knob for volume adjustment, you can directly rotate the knob to adjust the volume. Of course, the knob can also be set for switching lighting effects, backlight brightness, lighting effect speed, backlight color, and other functions. Players can choose according to their preferences.

The Red Magic esports mechanical keyboard adopts the unique Duangfeng transparent design, coupled with dazzling lighting effects. If you are tired of considering traditional esports peripherals, the appearance of this product will definitely give you a refreshing feeling. Coupled with the keyboard's TTC Silver Switch V2 switches, contrasting keycaps, and support for wired, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth three-mode connections, it achieves top-notch performance and gaming control experience.
