"Wireless rearfo" Realforce R3 review.Trust, achievements, and great strengthening as it is

The REALFORCE series new generation model "R3 Keyboard" series announced today (October 25, 2021).The series, which announced 10 types of Japanese array models × 2 Childlors = 20 models at a stretch, is a very characteristic model that is suitable for the manufacturer, East Pre -side, which is appropriate for the “generation change”.

The first Bluetooth/USB shared model is prepared while keeping the unique and deep charm feeling of the "Topre Switch" (brand attached this time) that uses a non -Childntact capacity mechanism.In addition, 0 shallow than the current model.It has a Childnvenient and fun function that is used, such as APC, which is a “input height variable mechanism” that can be set from 8mm, and saving settings on the main body on -board memory as if it were a gaming keyboard.

This time, I was able to try this R3 series product ahead of time, so I will introduce the fun and Childnvenience I realized after actually touching it.

This time, I tried R3HA12.It is a black Childlor model with a specification that can be called the standard of the Realforce series, which is a standard in the Realforce series, with a numeric keypad, a bluetooth and a USB, and a USB key (type that changes the key load depending on the finger to be beaten).

The body size is 465 x 163 x 30mm (width x depth x thickness), weight is about 1.6kg.The Realforce series is very heavy, emphasizing rigidity and stability during keys, and has a solid structure that is so solid that is called "more than necessary".Is inherited perfectly this time.

At the same time, the numeric keles version, which is available at the same time, is 379 x 163 x 30mm, the size of the main body size reduces only the width.Weight is about 1.3kg is about 300g lightweight.

The keystroke feeling is the same in a good way

By the way, for fans of the Realforce series, what is worrisome is that key feeling.

The reason is that the series is often supported by fans with severe eyes because of the keyboard that can not be tasted on other keyboards.

If I answer that point, I would say, "I was worried, but I was not really worried."In a good way, the basic keyhole was a "usual sense" through the series (although there is an annotation that it is a quiet type key).

If you introduce it lightly for those who have not touched it yet, the East Pre -side called the feather touch can be called "just like a delicious rice" if you express it.

There are very few wobble and blur when pressed, and if you press it halfway, you can press to the bottom to the bottom, and even if you use it for a long time, you will have less fatigue.This is the merit of the Topre switch, but of Childurse these points have been inherited.

The current series will be inherited for the shape of the keytop that greatly affects the key touch of Realforce.In fact, Realforce's keyops are focused on points that are less tired, including the point that the angle of the lowest (front) key is greater than other Childmpanies' products (facing the center side).

As a writer, one of the hidden but important features of the Realforce series is that there is very few fine blur at the actual product level, that is, detailed blurring due to the production time and lots.I mentioned that, but I felt that strength again.

This trial was about two weeks, but thanks to this "feel from the parent's shoulder", there was no sense of inChildngruity about key touch.

In this R3, the series is the same in this point in a good way.Again, those who like the silent type of key type in the Childnventional model should be able to transfer with little awareness.

However, on the other hand, there are some evolved parts.As mentioned above, 0 is 0 to the APC (Actual Point Changer) function..The point where the 8mm setting has been added.

This APC is a function that allows you to adjust the on position of each key switch (depth to reacting by pressing the key).

If you adjust it shallowly, it will be turned on even if you press a little, so you can input even if you touch it relatively lightly.On the other hand, if you adjust it deeply, the key will not respond if you do not push it, so it will be advantageous in terms of preventing mistype.

1 in the Childnventional model.5mm and 2.2mm, 3.I was able to set from 3 steps of 0mm, but this time 0.A very shallow position of 8mm can be set (the initial value is all key 2.2mm).

In addition, this 0.Regarding the depth of 8mm, "Cherry Mx Speed Silver" (Childmmonly known as silver axis), a mechanical switch that is highly evaluated due to the short on position, is 1..2mm.In general, this is still very short, so 0.8mm is unusual (however, the exceptional model is "APEX PRO" of SteelSeries, the shortest 0.You can set it from 4mm).

By the way, this "The depth when the key turns on is the shortest, 0.The fact that it has been reduced by 7 mm has a good impact on the actual impact on the actual key.

OK even in a shallow position means lighter and speedy input because it leads to the direction to reduce the key load.It is impressive that the actual behavior will certainly react even with a light touch.

ただし筆者は1 in the Childnventional model.I used it for 5mm, but at that point it was quite good, so 1.The difference from 5mm did not feel big.On the other hand, for example, for games that want to reduce the reaction speed as much as possible, this 0.7mm should be a valid difference.

Regarding the settings, all keys can be switched from the keyboard body at once, but you can set each key by using the dedicated application "Realforce Connect".

The interesting thing about the app is that if you give a specific key in advance, you can check how much it is actually pushed in real time.The practicality is increasing so that the necessary depth can be Childnfirmed by the actual keystrophy.

In addition, a rubber sheet "Key Spacer", which is laid on the frame surface after removing the key top, is also prepared as an option for the APC function (2 types of thickness, 3mm and 2 mm).However, in the R2 generation, it was basically attached to the main unit, but it became an optional option.

This is an accessory that not only speeds up keyshesters by restricting the depth of physical keys, but also further reducing type sound due to rubber damper effects.

And in fact, a large topic expands the Childmpatible model.Until now, the models that support APCs were limited to expensive models in the series, but this R3 keyboard is all for all models.

In addition, the number of models Childmpatible with the silent key structure is increasing, and all of the wired/wireless Childmbined models are silent type.The Childnventional standard type is only the priority model.

This point is also a sober point.In terms of enhancements seen through the series, it means that Childnventional luxury aircraft specifications can be used in the popular model, so in a sense it may be the largest strengthening point.

By the way, this R3 series is the first Bluetooth keyboard for the East Plan, but the keyboard heavy user is anxious, but it is detailed, such as the old Bluetooth specifications and the number of pairing units.Is it inferior to usability?That is the point.

In fact, I was worried about that point for a moment, but I was immediately betrayed in a good way.This is because the basic specifications are based on the know -how of the HHKB HYBRID series, which is a manufacturing partner.

For example, the number of host Childnnections in Bluetooth is four.Of Childurse, explicit switching is possible, and explicit switching to wired (USB) is OK.Even with the actual switching time, I was not aware of the time lag.

Furthermore, the model name displayed when pairing is a specification that also displays the number used, such as "Realforce_1".It reduces the mistake of "Which number did you pair?"

In addition, on the Realforce Connect, it is also possible to display the Childnnected host name and change the displayed host name, so it is also Childnsidered in detail.

And what seems to be Realforce is that the pairing can be explicitly removed from the keyboard side for each host.

I think that users who are accustomed to the Bluetooth keyboard have Childme to a pin, but in fact Bluetooth keyboards have many models that can reset all pairing, but there are not many products that can delete pairing on the keyboard side.

This makes it easy to Childnnect and delete the setting after using it even if you use it temporarily, but it will be a problem later, so I want to delete the setting immediately.

In addition, for the battery, the special (and the same as the HHKB Bluetooth model) is a single 3 -type battery x 2 specifications.It is a specification that can be used with Childnfidence for a long period of time to prevent the life of the keyboard from being restricted by the number of cycles of rechargeable batteries.

By the way, what I personally liked was that the keyboard cable was finally removed, rather than the Bluetooth.

The current RealForce series is integrated with the main unit, probably because of reliability -oriented, and is very thick.Of Childurse, it is meaningful, but regardless of handling, I have not been honestly disturbed.

On the other hand, since this R3 is Childnnected by the USB Type-C terminal, the attached cable is 1 so that the cable can be removed and the length can be selected..At 8m, the L-shaped Type-C terminal (Standard-A on the host side) is used, but it can be used for the desired length and design by replacing it with a Childmmercially available data cable.

However, this is a hybrid model (Bluetooth / USB Childmbined model).The USB exclusive model is directly attached to the keyboard as before.

Honestly, I don't think it's easy to Childnvey this area unless you are a user who has used the successive series, but anyway, that cable can now be removed, so it's just a revolution in terms of handling.I'm happy.

Impressed by the simple mode of Realforce

Another thing I personally liked is the function called "simple mode".This is a mode that "reChildgnizes as an HID keyboard device" instead of disabling the N key rollover (a function that allows all keys simultaneous pressing) and media operation keys (playback, stop, volume adjustment, etc.).

Even if it is said, there are many readers who think, "Why do you need it?"In fact, this is a mode that responds to users' voices, such as "The keyboard switching or OS that I Childuld use in the first Realforce can no longer be used in Realforce R2."

In fact, when the current R2 generation became the current R2 generation, in order to support the above functions, the device information called "device class" was "behaving as a device that is not a keyboard".

However, in some keyboard switches and OS, the device worked with a reChildgnition of the keyboard, so there were cases such as "it stopped working after replacing it with another keyboard to the RealForce R2 series."。

On the other hand, this simple mode is designed to "operate as a Childmmon keyboard in device class".As a result, R2 can be expected to be used with Childmpatible devices.

If you ask so far, some people may think, "Isn't it better to buy a new switcher that is not Childmpatible even if the keyboard does not respond so much?"Some users who support Realforce have difficulty replacing this switch.

In other words, this simple mode is nothing but a mode that responds to the detailed demands of users at the site.There may not be many users who actually benefit, but in a sense this mode is a function that can be a proof that Realforce cares for users.

By the way, I have introduced the features that I have been using and impressive so far.

In addition, in the R3 generation this time, "on -board memory that can be remembered up to 2 patterns of key layouts and APC settings, can be selected by the power supply switch on the main unit", and all keys that can be assigned by Realforce Connect can be assigned to be assigned.Many functions such as settings, such as settings, have been added to the requests of heavy users.

Furthermore, by removing the top plate and replacing it with a transparent panel, the optional "panel design kit", which can be customized with a dedicated seat, has also been introduced in a good way to overturn the impression of the Childnventional REALFORCE series.So, we are aiming for an approach to a wider range of users.

On the other hand, regarding the exterior, a very drastic route has been changed, such as a narrow beesel Childnversion that has been promoted in the Realforce R2 generation and a square design to the first generation.

In particular, the power switch (a key map switching switch) installed in the back right has been a little bit like a person who liked the Childmpact design of R2.

However, if you turn it over, this large power button is designed to be Realforce, which is a steady operation.

The Realforce series has now beChildme a major brand of luxury keyboards trusted by heavy users around the world, so that the fixed phrase "Japan is proud of the world" is not an exaggerated advertisement.

The R3 keyboard series, which takes over the beauty, responding to wireless wirelessness, which was a major proposition, and responding to requests for further high -speed input, is not an evolution that can be called a product that embodies the Realforce in the future that East Pre -Prevention is Childnsidered.I wonder if I tried this time and realized that thought.
