If you think that the M260 before the launch of the Sairui player regrets because there is no cherry with the shaft, then the new mechanical keyboard launched by the steel mill will have to look much more sincere, with the MX red axis of cherry best reputation. Sairui's "New Era Game Age" in China does not seem to be in touch with the development path. The lack of backlight 7G and 6Gv2 obviously has not been able to keep up with the trend; and the Apex300/350 film axis feel is difficult to spread now; M260 although with word of mouth Good PBT caps, but cherry rings have no chance of gaining high-end players. Now that the steel mills are making big moves, the Apex M500 can be said to be its "R" technology, so let's see how this skill works.
This is good enough for the Sairui cherry axis mechanical keyboard evaluation
The Sairui-style packaging does not need to be introduced. The same is true for the Apex series of professional e-sports equipment. There are not many exaggerated designs. From the perspective of the keyboard package renderings, the large-scale steel factory still has a pragmatic style. In the lower left corner of the box, you can see several important logos, see the cherry MX red axis and full-key blue backlight LED. The back is a detailed description of the product, mainly to explain this keyboard supports the SS engine, full-key programming.
Sairui M500 packaging
M500 in the shape is to carry out some of the details of the changes, can be considered on the basis of the old 7G model, a little increase in the design, so that the keyboard looks beautiful personality, but not too different. It should be noted that the design of the Apex300/350 is very advanced, but the practicality is generally the same. The old model 7G and 6Gv2 are too rigid. To the cash M500, you can feel that this is a keyboard that is based on the growth of predecessors, not too conservative, nor non-mainstream ahead. The first feeling is that this is a practical keyboard that looks good.
The design of the back of the keyboard is very beautiful, very beautiful, there is a kind of steel embossed taste, although this is just a plastic floor, but the texture is particularly heavy. The key is that the position of the qualifying line can be straightened out in the “left, right, and right†positions in accordance with the player’s placement habits. As a notebook-based player, it is certain that such a design should be praised.
The utility of the steel factory is reflected in the annex. The simple manual is outside the keyboard body. Is it a sticker sticker? No! However, the keyboard actually has a bundled Velcro that allows players to bundle the wire, and there are also steel factory logo blessings.
Velcro Velcro
Materials, the whole body of engineering plastics, rough matte surface treatment, plastic density is high enough, the shell is very strong. The middle layer participates in the steel plate, the blue coating is mainly aimed at highlighting the blue light. With the black fog UV keycap, the entire keyboard looks very strong, the lines are simple and beautiful.
Blue steel plate, cherry red shaft
The axis body adopts the cherry MX red axis. At present, the most popular body of the game player, trigger pressure 45g, trigger stroke 2mm, feel soft, most domestic players like this stroke and pressure feedback feeling. The cherry craftsmanship is indeed more advanced, the durability is high enough, and the pressing feel is very smooth, which is why the cherry shaft has been deeply loved by players all along.
Fog UV Translucent Key Cap
After the red axis of the cherry is matched with the steel plate substrate, there is no plate-free version of the handle, but the sound will be more solid and it will feel even more real when it is struck fast. And the game needs to feel faster feedback, with the version of the steel plate will appear stable, but the feedback is more obvious. In general, typing users like no steel red shaft, and gamers will prefer the steel plate version. Anyway, carrots and vegetables have their own love.
Light transmission effect
In terms of lighting, Sairui still uses a monochrome backlight. The monochrome backlight + cherry red shaft is a very old solution, and the reliable skin effect is a feature of this program. Through the fog UV technology key cap, you can see the light close, even from the character, coupled with the reflection of the blue steel plate, the effect is dazzling and not dazzling, the effect is very good. The RGB aspect of cherry is currently used by only a few brands, and Sairui did not get the RGB axis of the cherry this time. It is a bit regrettable, and I hope that the subsequent models can be used.
The Sairui M500 can use the SS engine to perform full-key programming on the keyboard. The player can record the whole set of connections, including delays, etc., and then define the connection to any key. In addition, the backlight of the keyboard can adjust the brightness, adjust the breathing, always lit various modes. However, there is no dynamic lighting effect of the RGB version.
No punch test
In the no-bump test, the Sairui M500 is able to implement full-key arbitrage of any key and its performance is very powerful. Normally, 10 keys without rush are sufficient, and full keys are not a good tool for those who like to play fighting games together.
In the game test, LOL and CODOL were selected. The keyboard's standard button layout does not have any difficulty in getting started and finger alignment. Players who are new to this keyboard will quickly use the M500 key. The arc button layout gives the finger a good hold, and it will not appear uncomfortable for long periods of use. The soft touch is a good balance between responsiveness and comfort. It can be played comfortably and naturally, and is suitable for gamers playing games at home and for long-term competitive training purposes.
Editor's summary: Sairui Apex M500 is very mature in all aspects, is a look at the practical performance of the gaming keyboard. Workmanship can be said to be in line with 7G, and is much more beautiful in appearance design than the old one. Although there is no gorgeous Apex 300/350, for the e-sports players, the M500's steadfast style is even more appealing. There is not much to recommend in the high-end keyboard field. The Sairui M500 is one of them worth starting.
