TOM take you to play peripherals article 11: BOX low shaft full keyboard - DAREU DAL You EK820-104key Touch Edition use evaluation

The Daeryu brand has quickly gained recognition through the endorsement of influencers, but to peripheral enthusiasts, it might still seem similar to the current MiTec mechanical keyboards—showy and overpriced. However, in the past two years, Daeryu has been continuously innovating, gradually reshaping its image in the eyes of consumers. It’s not about copying others; it's about real breakthroughs. From packaging to product design, especially with the Kaihua BOX axis mechanical keyboard EK835 (BOX white axis, offering a traditional blue switch feel), it has received widespread praise online. Getting positive reviews across the web is no easy task, as both consumers and tech-savvy users have high expectations. This time, Daeryu introduced a new model developed in collaboration with Kaihua—the BOX short axis. The key travel is significantly reduced, making the keyboard extremely slim. In the context of mechanical keyboards, this represents a major innovation, and we’ll take a closer look at its performance. **Part I: Product Display and Key Line Separation Interface** Daeryu's product design used to be criticized by some netizens, but in recent years, there has been a noticeable trend toward refinement. The packaging of this EK820-104 wired mechanical keyboard features a clean white box with an orange-red logo and English text in the center, maintaining a simple and elegant style. Inside the box, you'll find the keyboard itself, a data cable, and a manual. The keyboard is protected by a dedicated inner mold to prevent damage during transport. The manual explains that when the keyboard is not lit, it consumes less than 50mA, and when the backlight is on, it uses less than 250mA. The power supply is designed for a 5V/0.5A USB 2.0 interface, which should be sufficient. This detail is important because some laptops or computers may not provide enough power for mechanical keyboards, leading to issues with backlighting. The EK820 series features the BOX short axis, developed in collaboration with Kaihua—a top Chinese switch manufacturer. This makes the keyboard very thin, resembling a membrane keyboard in feel. The height of the keyboard ranges from 2cm to 2.5cm. The top cover is made of aluminum alloy, processed with CNC trimming to create a smooth, reflective surface. The EK820 series comes in three versions: 68-key, 87-key, and 104-key. The first two offer dual-mode support, while the 104-key version is currently only available in wired form. The keyboard features a key line separation design, using a soft and thin Micro USB rubber cable. However, the keyboard’s USB port is slightly narrow, making it difficult to insert standard Android cables. The EK820-104key gives the impression of a lightweight, modern mechanical keyboard suitable for business environments. We’ll dive deeper into the specifics of the short-axis switch in the next section. **Part II: EK820-104 Key Details and Features** The LOGO on the EK820-104key is placed above the arrow area, featuring a dot matrix "D"—a design commonly used by Daeryu in recent years. The top-left corner includes a touch panel that allows users to adjust keyboard modes, lighting brightness, speed, and volume through touch and swipe gestures. The back of the keyboard has a large indentation. When placed on a flat surface, only two non-slip rubber pads are visible. Upon opening the footplate, there are additional non-slip pads for better stability. The concave design on the back helps position the keyboard more comfortably on the desk. Daeryu paid special attention to the large keys on the EK820. Due to the short key travel, traditional stabilizers and satellite axes can’t be used. Instead, they designed each large key independently. For example, the "0" key on the numeric keypad uses a balance bar, while the "ENTER" key has a bracket on both sides for stabilization. This shows careful consideration to maintain a consistent feel across all keys. The switch cover on the dwarf axis supports the balance bar, adding a subtle design detail. You can also see the logos of Kaihua and Daeryu on the red switch. The keycaps are laser-etched with a silver coating that glows even without backlighting. They transmit light well, creating a visually appealing effect that stands out among other mechanical keyboards. **Part III: Keyboard Lighting Display** The EK820 series uses ice-blue lighting, a popular choice for monochrome backlit keyboards. It offers various lighting effects such as constant light, breathing, marquee, and waves, similar to many other single-color mechanical keyboards. The keycap transparency is excellent, allowing clear visibility of the characters under illumination. The SMD LEDs are placed above the keycaps, with light passing through the transparent shaft shells, making the upper part of the keycap brighter than the lower part. **Part IV: Touch Board Video Demo** [Embedded video player] **Part V: Summary** **Highlights and Advantages:** The EK820 features the rare BOX short axis, a unique feature that few competitors offer. The 104-key version lacks wireless support, which is a drawback. However, the touch board in the upper right corner adds a creative touch, allowing users to adjust settings via touch and swipe. While it's a nice addition, it's not as intuitive as a physical dial. **Disadvantages and Inadequacies:** The lack of wireless connectivity on the 104-key model is a downside, especially for those who value portability. The touch board, though innovative, feels a bit gimmicky and not as practical as a traditional volume wheel. Overall, the EK820 positions itself as a high-end office keyboard. The craftsmanship is solid, and the price reflects its premium build. The BOX axis offers a different feel compared to traditional switches, which may take some getting used to. The white axis provides a crisp, clear keystroke, while the red axis is smoother but less tactile. Personally, I prefer the white axis for its satisfying feedback. If you're looking for a sleek, modern mechanical keyboard with a unique design, the EK820 is definitely worth considering.
