Defender Galaxy 4710 - Classic Does Not Die

What could be better than a conventional classic keyboard? That's right, just an unusual classic keyboard. I will tell you about such a copy.


')
There have been many reviews of super-keyboards at great prices, for example the backlit Razer Lycosa . I will tell about the keyboard from a price range to 1000 rub.

At first glance, Defender Galaxy 4710 is an unremarkable keyboard, just like everyone else. But, I will not reveal all the secrets at once. I'll start from the beginning.

As the theater begins with a hanger, familiarity with the device begins with the box:



Its content is simple and relaxed: keyboard, mini-description and warranty card.
No drivers and extra information. This is good, because With the installation of the keyboard, there will be no problems - Plug & Play (or, as they say with us - Stuck and works). Although on the other hand, this means that the additional buttons are permanently attached and you can only reassign them using third-party utilities. But, the buttons are tied to the most necessary functions, so I think you will not have to redo them.

We get the keyboard out of the box:



Let's pass to technical characteristics:



The appearance of the device is very nice. Gray glossy body and white slightly transparent keys on the same white background, located on the standard layout. The buttons are slightly rough, so the fingers do not slip and it is very convenient to work with the keyboard. All symbols are black, but this does not interfere with perception. Overall very beautiful.

More details about the add. buttons.

There are 15 of them, 3 pieces per block, only 5 blocks:



-Browser
-Mail client
-Conductor

They are followed by buttons for the browser (or explorer):
-Back
-Forward
-Stop

Next - control the player:
-Play / Pause
-Previous
-Next

Well, where are we without sound control?
Hush
Louder
-Turn off the sound

And finally:
-My computer
-Calculator
Sleep mode

As I said, the buttons are tied like that by default, but you can redo them with the help of programs that are in bulk on the Internet.

Well, the characteristics learned, looks looked, it's time to go to the goodies.

So, the first thing you liked was the low-profile keys that provide accurate and quiet tactile feedback, the move is average. Quiet keys will be useful if you are not alone in the room and someone knocks the keys.

And the most important thing, in fact, what distinguishes this keyboard from the usual classical keyboard is the soft blue backlight:



The keys are not illuminated one by one, but all at once using the backlight of the transparent panel below them. Therefore, the light is even and, as it were, streaming, which ensures good visibility of the keys at any time of the day.



This light is much more convenient than the key illumination from the inside, and looks good for the eyes.
Turning on and off the backlight prozvoditsya using the El On / Off key, it is also - Scroll Lock.

The Scroll, Caps and Num Lock indicators are located in the upper right side of the keyboard.



Below there are legs for adjusting the keyboard:



Well, connecting to a computer via USB.

The price of the keyboard is about 500-700 rubles. in contrast to her colleagues in the shop, which cost from 2 thousand.
So, I highly recommend it to those who like to play or work at night.

By the way, maybe someday they will be built into laptops, but it’s very inconvenient to work at night without lighting.

So, consider all the pros and cons:

Pros:

-Design
-Easy and easy installation
- Soft key travel
-Standard layout
-Advent buttons
-Blue light
-Price

Minuses:

- It is impossible to recustomize additional buttons
-When the backlight is on - Scroll Lock is on
White dust is visible

Overall, a rating of 4+.



In this price range in terms of quality and design, this is one of the best backlit keyboards.
