If I remember correctly, the glazed keyboard first appeared in ARMS-COOL fire cool, there have been 87, 61 key layout, "glazed" visually is also a combination of color and transparency, from this point alone indeed the two keyboards have done, but also rich in distinctive personality, in addition to a few light control players are more enthusiastic, but also not too hot. In addition to the publicity is not enough, and glazed keyboard is a market segment, the initial stage may not be perfect related. This time the glazed mechanical keyboard is from Womier Womier K66, a new brand, and then to attack, look at this new 66-key glazed keyboard, and what is the difference between the previous work?
Product appearance.
Probably one of the fastest unboxing ever
The packaging is very simple and uses environmentally friendly materials. It feels like it was the same as mechanical keyboards many years ago, because they are made in China and are made by small brands. There is no need to waste extra money on the so-called VI image. Good things are fine. Everyone More pragmatic.
In addition to the layout, it is the biggest difference from my impression of the glass keyboard in this cover, it is a frosted texture, so the manufacturer called it the "cloud sand version".
Has been, I personally habitually thought that acrylic should be very transparent kind, the original also other processes, this time the surface of frosted acrylic looks foggy, as the kind of hazy feeling of wool glass, than the fully transparent kind is less likely to leave production defects, the texture is also more characteristic, which should be the reason for its adoption.
K66 adopts a suspended design with moderate edge margin of the body, making it look less constricted.
Influenced by the acrylic material processing characteristics, the body is composed of 3 layers of acrylic, respectively, to complete the no steel plate structure under the PCB board and shaft body fixed, a radish (shaft) a pit structure, so that the thick acrylic brings the touch bottom feedback feeling will also be unique, the taste should be different from CHERRY kind of no steel plate, OEM steel plate and aluminum alloy plate these 3.
The bottom cover of the keyboard is also frosted acrylic, in accordance with the idea of the glazed keyboard, the back of the PCB board must be affixed with a large number of LED lights, the body is also a large amount of light is the core feature of the glazed keyboard.

K66 with white laser engraved keycaps, ABS material, but it is worth mentioning that this keycap surface paint anti-slip effect is quite good, in the game test experience, there is no ABS two-color keycap kind of slippery phenomenon. Of course, the degree of wear resistance of the coating depends on the test of time, of course, oil may also avoid, but the good thing is that white does not black keyboard looks greasy.

As a new product, K66 for the first time with the Jadalong axis RGB axis + SMT SMD LED lights (under the light position), can directly supplement the CHERRY axis RGB or not depends on the PCB board LED light specifications, but I personally do not recommend, because the characteristics of this keyboard does not lie in the CHERRY axis, but in the LED, coupled with the satellite axis is relatively slack, change the axis to increase the cost and the feel of the hand Improvement is not much, Jadalong axis for most people is also good.
Before the launch of the RGB axis, the past side engraved backlight or under the light position of the big taboo is the LED beads will shoot directly at the eyes, in CHERRY's RGB axis out with SMT SMD LED lights are much better, the so-called this time and another time, the process of change can sometimes reverse the results
Large keys using satellite axis structure, may be different material characteristics of acrylic plate and steel plate, acrylic is more brittle can not be vigorously squeezed, so set aside a little larger tolerance safety factor is high, but this also makes the dragon ship slightly loose, but the problem is not big.

As mentioned earlier, the keyboard is a combination of 3 layers of acrylic plate, through the CNC process, from the edge of the processing and chamfering, this glazed keyboard process is still within the acceptable range, visually better than the previous two glazed some, mainly in the edge burr less, fewer surface defects traces.

K66 provides four white feet, but there is no foot support, so the tilt is not enough, which will more or less affect the comfort of tapping. If it is because of the inconvenience of acrylic processing, you can consider similar to the GANSS kind of magnetic way, independent support feet to change the tilt.

K66 Type-C interface, positive and negative plug does not matter more square operation, but the location of the interface is slightly down, when connected when the plug slightly adjust the insertion angle can be. In addition, because this keyboard lights, it is recommended to connect USB 3.0/3.1 interface better.

K66 and the previous glazed keyboard the same concept, the body translucent, key caps luminous. Because the body is transparent, so the body translucent light source from two sources.
The 66 LED lights under the shaft body.
The back of the PCB a circle of 43 lights of the light belt.
A total of 109 lights concentrated in 60% of the distribution, this luminous body can not not be large, light pollution is also not strong. These two partitioned backlighting are supported RGB, and can be adjusted separately to form two completely different effects of backlighting before and after.

The Woymeyer K66 Cloud Sand Edition is a mechanical keyboard with a glass finish.
Under a closer look, the integrity and translucency of the laser engraved characters can still be, mainly by the frosted acrylic atomized rainbow backlight more soft, colored body against the key caps like a rainbow covered by white clouds (could not help but reverie.). . But the screws are like "stains" that spoil the beauty.
However, the top of the front engraved characters have a slight shadow, but the F1 ~ F12 column of the side engraved characters is more ideal, suddenly think that perhaps the side engraving can be more perfect, the surface of the simple key caps, frosted white body, hmmmm, think about it can be.

At night, the illusion effect and monochrome effect, depending on personal preferences can be adjusted, do not like the color too chaotic double RGB, you can also FN + Space to start the color palette (66 key caps light different colors), and then press a certain obedient key, the implementation of the choice of dual-zone unified monochrome effect, as shown above.
Think about the previous glaze, this K66 not only characters are RGB, providing 16 kinds of light effects drive-free switching (FN + right Ctrl), the bottom of the body of the large surround light is also RGB, can be adjusted by FN + left Ctrl 4 kinds of light effects. There is no doubt that the glazed keyboard is very sincere and localized in the attitude of lights.

Monochrome night effect, not to exaggerate, the dozens of lights stand up occasionally as a desk lamp or night lighting no problem at all, in order to take a crystal glass to find the feeling of glazing haha.

At night, it is definitely an eye-catcher, the most powerful light pollution that can be thought of. Suggest adding a voice controller, night can wake up (like a small night light), a toilet is also convenient point, ha ha.

In the past in the backlit mechanical keyboard, in pursuit of backlighting or ambient light effect, there is often the use of white steel plates, plug-in lights to strengthen the effect of light, the effect can only be slightly improved, but in the glazed transparent body, light pollution to the extreme is easy, proving the saying: the stone of the mountain can attack the jade.

Feel, the use of Jadalong axis (green axis), in the domestic axis keyboard, its overall performance in the middle, the sound of crisp mechanical sense is very strong, sufficient travel and smooth downward pressure, thick acrylic plate bottom feedback solid heavy, clean and sharp, no aluminum alloy kind of life, large keys have more obvious loose and wire sound, suitable for entry-level players to do upgrades (before the domestic axis), it will not feel inferior, but if you are playing L, F this kind of feel, may have to be discouraged, but still that, this keyboard's specialty is light.
May be limited by the cost, this quite imaginative glazed keyboard although better than its predecessor, but there is still an upside that can be more perfect, but it takes time and money, if the market response is lukewarm, then the good idea is not sustainable. In the case of OK quality, I hope the characteristics of the glaze can be based on market segmentation, just low price to kill, which has what meaning?
