A Closer Look
AGK700
The biggest thing when it comes to mechanical keyboard is the switches. For some this can be confusing and somewhat complicated because there are so many choices out there. This particular keyboard features the Cherry MX Blue switches. Lets break down and compare the differences of the ones out there courtesy of PC Gamer and wasd for the force curve.
“Regardless of make, the behavior of any switch can be divided into three categories:
- Linear. The keystroke is consistent and smooth.
- Tactile. A bump in the middle of travel, usually around the actuation point.
- Clicky. A bump in the middle of travel accompanied by a sharp “click” sound.
Cherry MX Blue
- Behavior: Clicky
- Feel: Heavy
- Actuation Force: 60g to get over the tactile bump
- Actuation Point: 2mm
- Total Travel Distance: 4mm
- Sound Level: Loud
- Rated Lifespan: 50 million keystrokes per key
- Force Curve: Here
Recommended for: Primarily typing. The Cherry MX Blue has a distinct “click” sound when depressed beyond the tactile point, making it the loudest switch in the Cherry MX family. The Cherry MX Blue’s separated slider construction also provides the highest tactile feedback out of all Cherry MX switches. With that said, the two-piece slider construction also introduces a very pronounced hysteresis, making rapid firing a bit more challenging than linear switches.
Cherry MX Blue Switches
Cherry switches are considered to bring the highest standard when it comes to mechanical keyboards. These switches are available in different colors with different features each. Blue Cherry Switches react at a 60 grams pressure, ideally suited for people who love precision. With its additional audible feedback, you can easily react to all actions in-game, giving you 100% control over your inputs.
N-Key Rollover & 100% Anti-Ghosting
The more competitive a game gets, the more APM (actions per minute) you need. The N-key rollover ensures that all your input is being registered correctly. The feature guarantees that no matter how many keys you press, every single input gets noticed and implemented in-game.
The N-Key Rollover goes hand-in-hand with anti-ghosting. In case you accidentally press adjacent keys, the feature eliminates “ghost” registrations and only forwards the input you intend to send.
USB Passthrough
With a 1.8m braided 2x USB cable, your keyboard will have the most durable connection possible to your PC. The braided structure is tear-proof, lasting longer than regular rubber cables. The convenient USB passthrough including 1x USB2.0 allows you to quickly plug in additional gear without forcing you to reach behind your tower.
