Keyboards offer more and more innovative technologies, one of them is the possibility of changing the actuation point, which makes the activation of the key much faster or makes it more resistant and costs a little more Dear. These keyboards They use a system called effect Room to be able to change the distance which separates the switch from the PCB, but now, Cute wants to change this system with the help of the new switches of Cherrywho use a system of induction instead of the room.
It is increasingly common to see technologies that allow us to modify in any way the peripherals that we have, and among everything that we can find, one of the greatest innovations is found in keyboards, which have evolved from a simple device to one offering awesome Lots of extremely advanced features. This time, Cherry with Cute They want to improve a system that is only found in the keyboards of gamma highand it allows you to adjust the height of the device’s switches.
Induction switches, an alternative to Hall effect sensors
Lately, as one of the biggest computer industry events in the world takes place, we see a large number of new developments arriving in an attempt to revolutionize each of the peripherals or components we currently have. Keyboards are obviously no exception, and in addition to having seen all those that the major brands have presented, they offer great quality as well as a series of technologies that make them the best on the market, but now Cherry, in collaboration with Ducky, they decided to launch a new system that wants to completely change high-end keyboards.
This system consists of induction switches, which, according to Cherry, is an innovation that seeks to reduce the problems presented by the Hall effect, one of them being the use of batteries, since the company that has created this type of switch indicated that it considerably reduces keyboard consumption. In this way, the Duck One becomes the first keyboard to integrate this new system, the Multipoint MXwhich incorporates a series of coils on the PCB that detect changes in the electric field when the metal of the switches approaches it.
This keyboard promises a lot of things, including long battery life
As we indicated previously, the greatest advantage of this keyboard is the fact that it seeks to offer technology that consumes much less energy when using the device, which should significantly increase the duration of battery life since it is a wireless device. Although we still don’t know what the battery life will be, since they haven’t specified, we can expect it to be higher than the 40 hours of battery life offered by other keyboards incorporating Hall effect sensors.
Otherwise it offers everything you would expect from a high-end keyboard, it uses standard OEM keys, the rear panel contains a USB-C port for charging or connecting in wired mode and a switch which allows you to choose between 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth or wired modes. It incorporates the MX Multipoint Cyan switches, which, although linear, offer a very good feel.
We find this keyboard in two variants, both 60% and 100%, on sale in the third quarter and will have a price which will oscillate between 140 and 170 dollars.
