Dygma Raise is the new ergonomic keyboard for gamers

The world of gaming is extremely interesting and exciting; so many gamers can go online around the clock without paying attention on anything. After spending many hours in a sitting position, it is necessary to have comfortable furniture - first, a chair, because it is the correct posture of the user that depends on it. An important factor in the success of the game is the quality of the equipment - computer, monitor, mouse and keyboard. In particular, the latter is not easy, because the choice is huge, it is difficult to navigate. Gamers rarely use all the keys, and games require about a third of them. Today we head to Valencia (Spain), where Dygma has developed a modern Raise gaming keyboard for eSports professionals, which can be split into two independent units, has a bright backlight, special armrests, has high ergonomics and allows for high ergonomics for each game.

Features of the novelty

The modern gaming world is not standing still, improving day by day. Some games have such good locations and well-drawn characters that it does not seem surprising that the multi-million dollar army of gamers grows by the hour, not by day. Every year, eSports professionals make big bucks by participating in international tournaments, promoting well-known brands, creating videos, teaching tricks and finding loopholes in popular bestsellers.

Modern games have quite high system requirements, which ordinary computers cannot cope with. Just like keyboards - most arcades have special keyboard shortcuts that help you quickly respond to different situations while staying in the win. Earlier, we talked about a keystone-backed mechanical keyboard from the American company Input Club, which combines touch-sensitive analogue controls, got hot-swappable base switches, incredibly durable (up to 1 billion clicks), and has open source that allows you to program it independently for specific tasks (you can read more about it at the link).

Today's novelty is represented by a split model, which means splitting it into two independent blocks. While regular keyboards force the user to bend the wrist in an uncomfortable pose, it allows you to rotate each part of it as you see fit. In addition, Dygma Raise has a special stand for each hand, which greatly facilitates its use. Professional player Luis Deilor Seville, who believes that the difference between winning and losing can be 0.1 second, developed the novelty. In order to become a professional, a player requires excellent fitness and a high speed of reaction. Normal keyboards are not designed for high results.

Both parts of the split model have their own cable connection using dual cable. Not only can you adjust the keyboard layout, but also the distance between the halves. The software allows you to create macros in a configuration, assign hotkeys or shortcuts, and instantly switch between them. Each of them may have different properties at the single, double tap, or hold. The firmware of the novelty has an open source code for programmers to create their own plugins or to correct existing ones.

The space in the model is divided into 4 parts, and below it, there are four additional programmable keys. They are just in the place where the gamer is thumb in the natural position of the hands. Both parts of the split model can be used independently of each other, which gives more space for the mouse. The manufacturer also took care of the left-handers, making the halves almost symmetrical with the replaceable buttons.

Raise received hot-swappable mechanical switches. There are different types of switches to choose from - Cherry MX or Kailh. The difference between them is that the former are slightly higher than the latter. The novelty is equipped with adjustable backlight RGB. It not only adjusts the brightness of the backlight, but also provides the ability to add a separate color to each function block, shortcut keys or a separate button. The keyboard works without the need to pre-install drivers on any of the popular operating systems - Windows, Mac, and Linux. The computer is connected via USB.

The material of the upper part of the case is aluminum to increase the strength of the device. The bottom is made of ABS plastic and polycarbonate. Magnets attach both parts of the split keyboard to each other so that the connection cannot break down during operation. In addition, the manufacturer has installed an additional USB slot on the body so you cannot search for this connector on the system unit, and immediately use a USB flash drive or peripherals by connecting them directly to Raise. Its folded dimensions were 200.9 * 330.9 mm (width * length), left half - 200.9 * 153.7 mm, right - 200.9 * 177.2 mm. The left side weight was 320 g and the right part was 365 g.
