In recent years, the mechanical keyboard market has been designed in many different styles. About six months ago, Newmen made a comeback with more impressive products, notably the GM1000 mechanical keyboard – Moonlight Crane Dance. This product has been eagerly welcomed by Vietnamese gamers with its modern features and innovative design at a reasonable price.
To continue its success, the company has launched a completely new inspiration for the GM1000, with a name as romantic and mystical as “Scenic Beauty.”
Main Inspiration
Inspired by the images of high mountains, flowing rivers, and ancient fairies dancing and singing with the winds and clouds.
Impressing with mountains, rivers, and the sun shining brightly in the distance, the GM1000 Spring brings users a comfortable and relaxing feeling as if they are a king watching fairies dance in a springtime atmosphere.
It must be said that this new design style has made the product more “soulful” and created a relaxing feeling for users.
Design
At first glance at the GM1000 Spring – Scenic Beauty keyboard, users will immediately feel light and relaxed because the colors of this keyboard combine a refreshing mint green and deep teal.
However, to fully express the “scenic beauty,” we must install the keys that have been meticulously painted by the company; this way, the keyboard will accurately reflect the designer’s theme.
With a key layout similar to its predecessor, the GM1000 Spring still retains all the commonly used keys, including the number pad, in a compact and convenient overall size. Suitable for both Mac and Windows users through a switch key.
This keyboard can be used for various needs, from gaming, programming to office work…. Combined with the “scenic beauty” design, it will be quite suitable for users in creative professions… where emotion in work is essential.
This is a product in the premium segment of the company, so the level of completion is easily noticeable from the previous version to this new version.
The frame is still made of solid molded plastic, and the quality of the keys and switches is relatively sturdy, without any rattling noise.
Typing Experience
The trendy Kailh Box switches have been customized by the company to provide a relatively good typing experience, comparable to Cherry MX. The first thing you notice when typing is the clear key sound; when typing quickly, the sound feels even and smooth. There is not much difference between the switches.
With this new version, the company still retains the ability to customize switches according to user needs and preferences. This is also considered a highlight of the keyboard, as the company pays great attention to production quality to ensure the product’s quality upon reaching users.
Speaking of typing experience, one cannot overlook the thick, sturdy keycaps that are printed sharply and clearly. They not only provide durability and a full sound but also maintain a beautiful appearance over time.
Other Features
In addition to the core values of a good keyboard, the GM1000 Spring is still equipped with very “trendy” features, notably its connectivity. This keyboard can connect up to 5 devices simultaneously and can switch devices directly on the keyboard.
The battery life of the GM1000 Spring is still 3000mAh, with a usage time as claimed by the manufacturer of 10 hours with LED lights on and 150 hours without LED. In practical experience, this number is quite accurate.
Speaking of the LED system, it is quite “impressive” with RGB LEDs and 20 modes that can be changed directly on the keyboard or via the company’s software.
However, with the design of this product, personally, I don’t have many LED options that fit it, as the product’s appearance is already beautiful, and turning on the LED inadvertently diminishes that beauty.
If you truly need to use it in a dark space, I think white or blue LEDs similar to the color of the keys are the most suitable.
Conclusion
This is a version that changes the appearance from the GM1000 previously released by the company. This brings a breath of fresh air and a reasonable choice for those who prefer a light and serene style.
The advantages of the GM1000 remain unchanged and are ensured from the previous version to now. The GM1000 Spring is still a “worthwhile investment” for users with needs ranging from basic to advanced, especially for those concerned about their workspace, wanting to decorate and organize an inspiring place; this product will be a valuable choice.
