Like Shuangfeiyan, Colorful is a long-established peripheral company in China, which has been active in the market since the nineties of the last century and is one of the world's largest suppliers of computer peripherals. The market share of colorful computer cases in China was as high as 25%, and it was the only computer peripheral company in China that won the "China Famous Trademark".
Although it is common for peripheral manufacturers to diversify, the diversification of most manufacturers is limited to a limited number of items such as keyboards and mice, headphones, speakers, etc., and it is rare to cover peripherals, computer accessories, digital products and even artificial intelligence equipment manufacturers like Colorful. Moreover, in addition to the production and sales of its own brand products, Colorful also has OEM business, and the business is extremely complex. However, the over-pursuit of the breadth of the product line will inevitably lack in depth: although there are many colorful product lines, there are no particularly outstanding categories, the overall market performance is not outstanding, and the domestic market share and attention are relatively low.
The colorful keyboard product line is also divided into a gaming series and a business series, but the number of products is smaller, adding up to less than ten. Gaming keyboards are named after "KM numbers", but not all of the series are mechanical keyboards, if there are only 2 digits behind the KM, such as KM09, it means that the product is a mechanical keyboard. Because these mechanical keyboards use non-cherry switches, the pricing does not exceed 200 yuan, which is much lower than that of first-line manufacturers, mainly for the entry-level market. If KM is followed by a four-digit number, such as KM9028, it is a membrane keyboard, and this type of product also takes the cost-effective route, and the price is about 100 yuan.
KM9028 is the only membrane keyboard in the colorful game series, the keyboard body is a one-piece aluminum alloy cover, and the keys are a palace pillar structure, so it is very similar to a mechanical keyboard after removing the keycaps. KM9028 supports up to 26 keys without conflict, the feel is close to the low keycap green axis, colorful backlight, there is a slot at the top, which can be used as a mobile phone, but also as a keyboard handle, very practical, 79The price of 79 yuan is close to 400 yuan of the first-line brand"Mechanical feel keyboard" is undoubtedly very cost-effective. However, judging from user evaluations, the workmanship of KM9028 is not stable enough, and you may encounter problems such as insensitive keys or keycaps falling off.
In addition to the traditional standard keyboard, Colorful also has a relatively rare T9 series one-handed keyboard in the industry, the so-called one-handed keyboard is a keyboard that can be operated with one hand, and the key position is equivalent to half of the main key area of the standard keyboard letter, this type of keyboard is generally only used in games.
T9 series of most of the mechanical keyboard, there are also a small number of film products, the flagship version of the price is close to 400 yuan, the overall positioning is much higher than the standard mechanical keyboard, the series of colorful T9 Plus mechanical one-handed keyboard has won the "2016 German Red Dot Design Award".
The T9 Pro and T9U are the only two membrane keyboards in the series, and neither of them supports macro programming compared to mechanical products, and the lighting effect is much inferior. T9 Pro's positioning is relatively high, the overall left-handed design is left-handed, supports colorful monochrome backlight, and the main body is made of aluminum alloy. The lower gearT9U is symmetrical design,No backlight effect,The body of the keyboard is made of plastic,The prices of the two are 109/99element,The gap is very small,No matter from which point of view,T9 ProIt is more cost-effective。
