What tech is in this unit.
Scissor Foot Construction
“The scissor foot construction reduces the range of motion of the keys compared to a regular rubber ring keyboard. This structure also makes the keyboard thinner, lighter and more portable for you to use in any situation. Each key of the keyboard utilizes a scissor foot construction to ensure that your typing experience is always of high quality.” – Doqo https://shorturl.at/ABxl3
They keys have good travel but are quiet. Not for everyone but I like that it is quiet.
multi-function docking: 9 in 1
“Multi-ports docking station to boost your productivity, capable of data transfer;(USB Type C PD charging port up to 18W/HDMI support UHD 4K/30Hz expansion display/SD/ TF slot support up to 1TB storage/ 2 x USB 3.0 ports up to 5Gbps data transfer)” – Doqo https://shorturl.at/ABxl3
And it is built to work with a wide range of systems, allowing you to use whichever device you want. Windows/MacOS/Android/iOS
First impressions
Out of the box it feels solid. Fill metal construction. Unit has no flex. Little bit on the heavy side but thankfully it is not to be carried. I have the silver color and the keys are very visible. Back lit when you need it to be. So far so good.
Functions
As mentioned above there is a nice twist to this keyboard. It has A built-in dock. It allows multi usb connections with its built in usb hub type a and c. Hdmi for 4k pass through, Sd and TF slots. This makes for a super convenient hub for anyone in marketing or creation as you can hot swap all your media drives as needed without another thing on your desk.
The Special Shortcut keys like Lock, Home and camera (Screen shot) are very useful and convenient. It makes using my tablet functional and most important like a small laptop. I never used my iPad for anything really but YouTube and movies. Now I use it more than my computer. Great Mobile device.
UP’s
There are a few things I really enjoy about this unit. Build quality is fantastic. Lots of connections on the keyboard. The Data transfer speeds are on par with the advertised speeds.Lots of shortcut keys. I also Hooked it up to my ipad and mobile function buttons like home and camera are great to have on here for convenience. The Keys are better than I was expecting. Not as good as a mechanical but much better than a membrane style. Keys have good travel but are much quieter than the mech. I much prefer this style.
Down’s
I have 1 main issues
Issue I have is not because of Doqo but have experienced in other Keyboards with multi device functionality. The key layout is off set because the direction keys are built into the main alphanumeric keys and not in between the number pad and alphanumeric . Because of this it takes some getting used to where the keys are located.
Overall Thoughts
For the first time using a Doqo Keyboard was overall very pleasant. I don’t get any odd cramping from typing for a long period of time and my significant other can sleep while I am either typing out an article or playing some games. The Doqo Alu9-in-1 is a solid keyboard with lots of connections. Great way to clear out some desk space. I can not hook up my additional drives and wireless mouse and get rid of my bulky USB/HDMI hub that I had,
