What is a mechanical keyboard ?

A mechanical keyboard is a keyboard built with high quality, typically spring activated, key switches. These key switches vary based on the keyboard’s application or user preference.
Mechanical keyboards raise the bar in every way. A mechanical keyboard’s switches, framing, functionality, type print methods, key construction, PCB board, LED lighting (sharpness, brightness, adjustability), and a slew of other features are far superior compared to traditional rubber dome keyboards. Most of these improvements boil down to one thing - feel.
Mechanical keyboards simply feel better than rubber dome keyboards.

What's the difference between the switches ?

Quote:

Cherry MX Black Switches

Spoiler for Cherry MX Black:
Type : Linear Switch
Link : Datasheet
Tactile : No
Clicky : No
Actuation Force : 60g (40g-80g overall) (Force Diagram)
Key Travel : 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

Cherry MX-Black switches are linear (non-tactile) switches, these are considered one of the best switch types for gaming. When gaming, having a tactile bump does absolutely nothing because you're going to be bottoming out anyway. So these give you a very smooth feel. The actuation and release points are at the exact same position as well. So games that require a lot of double tapping become easier than on any other keyswitch. However, most people don't enjoy typing on them that much do in part, to their linear nature.
If you're a person who tends to hit a wrong key every so often while gaming, these will be beneficial in that the high actuation force will help prevent many of those accidental presses.

Cherry MX Brown Switches

Spoiler for Cherry MX Brown:
Type : Tactile Switch
Link : Datasheet
Tactile : Yes
Clicky : No
Actuation Force : 45g (55g Peak Force) (Force Diagram)
Key Travel : 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

Cherry MX Brown switches are considered a middle ground between typing and "gaming" switches. They have a light, tactile feel half way through the key press that lets you know the switch has activated. This gives you an indication of what you can release the switch. The switch is considered a middle ground because the reset point & actuation point are close enough together than you can "float" at that point, enabling you to double tap faster.

As a note: this switch actually has a peak force of 55G, it is 45G at the point of actuation. This is due to the design of the Cherry switch itself.

Cherry MX Blue Switches

Spoiler for Cherry MX Blue:
Type : Tactile & Clicky Switch
Link : Datasheet
Tactile : Yes, precise
Clicky : Yes
Actuation Force : 50g (60g Peak Force) (Force Diagram)
Key Travel : 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

Cherry MX Blue switches are the best cherry switch for typing. The tactile bump can easily be felt, and the resistance is similar to your average keyboard.

Although many people find them just fine for gaming, some don't like the fact that the release point is above the actuation point. This can cause some trouble with double-tapping. This is usually the case with someone who has experienced other mechanical switches before hand.

As a note: this switch actually has a peak force of 60g, it is 50g at the point of actuation. This is due to the design of the Cherry switch itself.

Cherry MX Red Switches

Spoiler for Cherry MX Red:
Type : Linear Switch
Link : Datasheet
Tactile : No
Clicky : No
Actuation Force : 45g (Force Diagram)
Key Travel : 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

Cherry MX-Red's are another switch that can be considered a "gaming" switch. It's essentially a lighter version of the MX Black, requiring less force to actuate. Some people do not find this switch that good for typing or gaming because it is so light, but others rave for this fact. Light or Stiff is always a matter of preference. This switch was hard to find; and was reported as EOL, but it is still in limited production with a higher than average MOQ leading to higher cost to board makers. Marketed with high demand, boards with this switch are becoming more common, but are generally more expensive as well.

Cherry MX Clear Switches

Spoiler for Cherry MX Clear:
Type : Tactile Switch
Link : Datasheet
Tactile : Yes
Clicky : No
Actuation Force : 55g (65G peak force) (Force Diagram)
Key Travel : 2mm to actuation, 4mm to bottom

Cherry MX Clear switches have often been called "stiffer browns" though some users note that they have more of a tactile feel than browns do. This really can be a subjective topic, though this is another switch that could be considered "ballanced." The force required is comparable to most rubber dome keyboards, with a nice tactile feedback to tell you the key has actuated. These switches are harder to find on keyboards.

As a note: this switch actually has a peak force of 65g, it is 55g at the point of actuation. This is due to the design of the Cherry switch itself.

Buckling Spring Switches

Spoiler for Buckling Spring:
Type : Tactile & Clicky Mechanical Switch
Link : Patent
Tactile : Yes, very precise
Clicky : Yes, loud
Actuation Force : 65g-70g (Force Diagram)
Key Travel : 2.3mm to actuation, 3.7mm to bottom

Buckling springs are pretty straightforward once you see them in action. After pushing the key down a certain distance the spring buckles under pressure, causing the hammer at the bottom to hit a membrane sheet and create an electrical contact. The buckling of the spring also provides tactile feedback and a satisfying click as it hits the shaft wall. And you might also notice through the force diagrams that this is the only mechanical switch where the tactile and audible feedback correspond to the exact moment the switch actuates.

White Alps Switches

Spoiler for White Alps:
Type : Clicky & Tactile Mechanical Switch
Tactile : Yes
Clicky : Yes
Actuation Force : 60g-70g (Force Diagram)
Key Travel : 3.5mm

White Alps are one of the most common Alps switch types. These are far more popular than the Black switches due to more pronounced tactility, and the lower force requirements of some versions. Like the Black Alps, White Alps are much easier to bottom out on compared with other mechanical keyswitch designs.

There are also a variety of White Alps-like switches of varying quality. Some, like the SMK Monterey, are considered very pleasant to type on..

Topre Switches

Spoiler for Topre:
Type : Tactile Capacitive Switch
Link : Patent
Tactile : Yes
Clicky : No
Actuation Force : 30g, 35g, 45g, 55g depending on model (Force Diagram)
Key Travel : 4mm

Topre switches are somewhat of a hybrid switch, and are capacitive by nature. The Topre mechanism uses a spring underneath a rubber dome, and the depression of the spring causes a change in capacitance between the underlying capacitor pads. With this change in capacitance; the switch activates.

Topre Switches are considered some of the finest switches available, as they offer a very enjoyable typing experience with a quieter experience compared to a Cherry MX, Alps, or Buckling Spring switch. The reason is Topre switches have the smoothest force gradient even compared to Linear switches like MX-Reds and MX-Blacks.

A87 Dareu, Blackhorse

Blackhorse mechanical keyboard from Dareu

Dareu salah satu brand yang punya power untuk menusuk pasar high end gaming gear, di Indonesia membawa keyboard mechanical high end dengan switch cherry. Kehadirannya bisa dianggap sebagai kuda hitam dalam mechanical keyboard.

Galeri

Mechanical Keyboard Lounge - Enjoy Your Typing! - Part 1

Build Quality

Spoiler for Doubleshot PBT:

Dari sisi fisik keyboard tenkeyless ini sudah cukup cakep memainkan permainan warna hitam dan putih. Balik ke sisi cat, ini finishingnya sangatlah baik, detail ga belepotan/ beleber, istilahnya rapi, rapi, dan rapi. Bagaimana dengan keycapnya? PBT Doubleshot yeaps dengan harga 1,1jt - 1,2jt dapat PBT doubleshot. Juga keycapnya kokoh.

Spoiler for PCB dan Plat:

Untuk ketebalan PCB dan plat, PCB memiliki 1mm tebalnya tapi double sided pcb, juga untuk pcbnya tergologn tebal 2mm sangat baik. Dan plat dengan tebal 2mm ini tidak membuat dudukan switch tidak bergoyang.

Fitur

Spoiler for Magnet Casing:

Selain itu fitur casing dengan magnet cukup menarik jika ingin floating keycap cukup tarik casing magnet. Yeap magnet sehingga tidak merusak cat pada casing. Sebenernya pada tahun 2019 pertengahan ada wrist rest dengan magnet tapi tidak tahu ada alasan apa tidak membawa fitur wrist rest yang cukup nyaman dan empuk tersebut dalam satu kesatuan paket keyboard ini, sangat disayangkan sebenarnya.

Spoiler for Type C cable:

Dilengkapi detachable type c usb keyboard ini sangat menarik, juga di casing belakang terdapat cable management. Selain itu dudukannya terdapat 3 posisi, low, mid, dan high, jadi ada 3 dudukan yg bisa dipilih.

Spoiler for Software:

Software? cukup sederhana sekali, cuma pilihan lampu, polling rate, macro, game mode, dan respons time. Saya rasa tanpa software sudah sangat cukup keyboard ini.

Switch

Spoiler for Switch:

Keyboard ini dilengkapi dengan switch cherry black, untuk feel mengetik agak sedikit berbeda dari red yang biasa saya pakai. Tapi tentunya ini masalah preferensi saja sedikit berat. Untuk spasinya terasa sedikit goncang, wajar karena cherry tapi perlu diinget cherry cukup unggul di per yang sangat baik.

Feel Mengetik
Sama seperti switch cherry black lainnya agak berat, tapi untuk feel mengetik terasa kokoh karena didukung plat yg tergolong cukup tebal 2mm.

Kesimpulan
Keyboard dareu ini bisa menghasilkan mecha keyboard yang tidak terkesan gaming banget, tapi terlihat enak dimata dan kokoh. Jika liat A87 seri lainnya permainan warna dan gambarnya juga sangat menarik temanya, terlihat adem.
Jika sebelumnya dikenal brand seperti ducky, filco, leopold, Dareu dengan seri keyboard A87 dan A840 punya kancah untuk menyamai brand - brand kelas atas tersebut. Alasan saya sebut ini keyboard bisa jadi blackhorse dan tidak bisa dipandang sebelah mata lagi.
