Unique design does n’t always restate to seductive design, but Shurikey nearly hit the point this time. We like the color choices of all three designs. The color choices blend rather nicely, creating a delicious gestalt that’s rather pleasing to the eye. The hall game design goes a bit too far in the number of colors used, but that’s about the only nitpick we've regarding the color choices.
The keyboard comes with six different lighting goods in aggregate. You can circle through other goods by combining the Fn and arrow keys. The same quintet increases and diminishments lighting goods speed. There are five- speed situations, and we like that we eventually set up a keyboard with anultra-slow breathing effect. On other keyboards, the breathing effect is too presto, indeed at the slowest speed. Shurikey explained that RGB is missing due to the unique design of the switches and the PCB( more on that latterly). With that said, we do n’t mind the white LEDs, but we reckon numerous druggies will look at this as a negative.
The figure quality is unexpectedly sturdy given the modularity, rivet- grounded faceplate mounting medium, and plastic body. Overall, excellent figure quality with all corridor feeling sturdy and well- erected. Away from the rivets. We do n’t like those. The essence kickstand is a veritably nice touch, at least aesthetically. More on that latterly.
Moving on to the keycaps, they ’re high- quality double- shot keycaps made of ABS plastic. Now, ABS is generally considered a budget option, inferior to PBT. But this time, we ca n’t say these keycaps are budget- inclined. They ’re thick(1.5 mm), with quality molding, and without any defects when it comes to legends. They ’resemi-transparent and are readable in the dark, indeed with the backlighting set at its lower position. Do note that the north- faced LEDs make the number row harder to read than the rest.
First of all, these arenon-contact switches. rather of the switch stem closing the circuit between the two essence connections when pressed by making them touch each other, like on a regular switch, EC switches near the circuit without the two essence connections physically touching each other. This contactless design gives these EC switches a much longer lifetime and removes the crucial debounce effect set up on regular mechanical switches. Next, Varmilo EC V2 switches look and feel like standard mechanical switches rather of combining the rubber pate and mechanical design.
The stabilizers are top- notch. Varmilo keyboards always had great stabilizers, and we like that Shurikey is continuing the tradition. They ’re plant l**ed in just the right quantum to have zero rattle while being responsive, without a trace of that nasty, mushy feeling you get when going overboard with the l**e. They ’re also fairly quiet and harmonious when pressed. Overall, these are the stylish stabilizers we used on a prebuilt keyboard. headdresses off to Shurikey.
Shurikey’s first adventure into the world of mechanical keyboards is a resounding success. The Hanzo is an seductive keyboard with a enough good figure quality and unique design. We like its antique artificial design and modular nature. Swappable faceplates are a fantastic point. In the future, we'd like to see essence faceplates and clods that would make this keyboard indeed more. The only detail we do n’t like is the rivets. They feel off and look cheap.
