Outdated Product
Full-size, high-speed gaming keyboard with durable mechanical switches, rugged Skeleton-style housing, 4 extra keys, and customizable RGB LED backlighting. It is positioned as a product of the middle price category, aimed at a wide range of demanding gamers who want to purchase a reliable gaming keyboard with a fast response time and a reasonable price. It differs from low-cost keyboards in the use of branded linear mechanical Black switches, which are a copy of the German Cherry MX Black switches. The keys have a full travel of 4mm and the actuation point is 1.4mm away. Due to the significant force required (80 g), perfect actuation accuracy is ensured without chatter and accidental double clicks. Thanks to these switches and a high polling rate (from 125 to 1000 Hz), the Canyon Nightfall...CND-SKB7 keyboard will perform perfectly in competitive shooters (Counter-Strike, PUBG, Overwatch, Apex Legends, Fortnite, Warface, Call of Duty: Warzone, etc.) ). It is able to capture the simultaneous pressing of complex multi-key combinations (N-key rollover technology). The durable frame of the Skeleton case can withstand significant mechanical stress, and keycaps with symbols applied using Double Injection technology will never be erased. Game mode is supported, which provides hardware locking of the Windows key.

Appearance with a twist

Nightfall is a mechanical keyboard from an American brand that is not the most popular in our area, which promises an eSports level of performance, but on the cheap. The keyboard has a rectangular shape with thin side edges. If it were a smartphone, it could be called frameless. And if it's not joking, then thin frames in combination with an unusual font, individual backlighting of the keys, a rubberized palm rest give the appearance of the keyboard a certain zest. The stand turned out to be quite convenient: the angle of inclination and height are small, while working or rollers with friends, the hands are in a comfortable position and do not get tired.

Individual key illumination

But the backlighting is ambiguous. It is not RGB, each key is highlighted. Moreover, it is highlighted quite brightly, which is why sometimes the backlight hinders more than it helps. Only English letters are highlighted, and Cyrillic characters are simply painted side by side with grey paint. To configure the backlight, you need to configure proprietary software with drivers, and sometimes, after restarting Windows, the backlight forgets to turn on, as if you connected it to the computer for the first time. In the Canyon Gaming app, you can also assign macros to one of the three additional keys in the upper right corner, remap the control of the main keys, and save it all to one of the game profiles.

Affordable keyboard with mechanical switches

As with any sub-$100 mechanical keyboard, it's all about durability. Canyon promises a life cycle of 60 million touches per key, anti-stick protection and “proprietary switches”. But the name of the company is not specified. We did not expect switches from Cherry, it would have turned out to be too expensive, instead of them “black Canyon mechanical switches” are used. It is not clear just what exactly is meant here and when Canyon became a switch manufacturer? It feels like the keys are pressed with a slight effort and quickly return to their original position. The click volume is above average, so if you decide to take one for printing, check it out - for some people, clicking causes pleasant waves of nostalgia, for others, irritation.
