Hator Starfall Rainbow Blue Switch (HTK-609)

Standard features without overpayments

The Hator Starfall Rainbow Blue Switch mechanical keyboard is a basic solution suitable for both gaming and everyday use. It is a full-size keyboard with a Num-block, which makes it easier to enter numeric data. Its body is made in the Skeleton style, which not only ensures ease of maintenance of the switches, but also gives the keyboard an original look. The model is equipped with Rainbow LED backlighting with adjustable brightness and eight glow effects. The design includes grooves for convenient cable management and a metal top plate for additional strength. However, the manufacturer did not provide anti-slip inserts on the legs, and the rubber pads on the body do not provide reliable grip even with a mat.

Tactile shift control

The keyboard uses Aurum Blue switches, which provide a clear tactile response and an audible signal when activated. These switches have a lifespan of up to 70 million clicks, which is a good indicator for a budget keyboard. “Blue” switches are popular among beginners who want to feel the advantage of a mechanical keyboard, although loud sounds can create discomfort for others. One of the main advantages is the excellent feedback while typing and in the game. The mechanism allows you to accurately understand when an action is performed (for example, changing speeds in a game or using items), which increases efficiency. The key travel is 4 mm, the actuation point is at 1.9 mm, and the pressing force is 50 g, which creates an optimal balance to minimize accidental activations. Additional key functions, such as gaming mode (locking the Win key), can be activated via Fn. Data transfer is carried out almost without delays thanks to the gold-plated USB connector.
