Imperion Centipada RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review
Introduction
The most colourful RGB mechanical gaming keyboard I ever tried. Yes, that’s Imperion Centipada from Nobel IT Distribution that I am talking about. Besides having the usual RGB lighting effect on keycaps, it has additional LED lighting on 4 sides of the keyboard. And they look really cool with the animation. Furthermore, it is loaded with solid aluminium panel. Support NKRO (N-key rollover or 100% Anti-Ghosting) for ultimate gaming experience. Interested? Follow me…
Package Content & Design
Imperion Centipada comes well protected just like other Imperion’s products. They includes a quick guide for all the lighting effects this round. Be sure to take your time to study and play with them. Yes, colour up your life for sure.
Imperion Centipada build quality is top notch thanks to high quality aluminum top panel and solid plastic bottom. A solid full size 104 keys mechanical gaming keyboard no doubt. The cable is braided and has magnet ring while USB plug is gold plated. There is a velcro tie for cable management as well. As for the keycaps, they are injected with double colour to make sure that characters never fade even under heavy use. That’s great.
There are 6 anti-skid pads including 2 rubber anti-skid pads on keyboard legs at bottom. Choose cable output at left, middle or right to match your desktop placement. Great cable management indeed.
Performance Result
Long Hua LH blue switches are not stranger to me anymore. Yup, both Mech 7 and Mech 10 are using them as well. You should know about these switches’ characteristic if you have read my previous reviews. Let me recap for those who don’t know. Basically, the tactile feedback and actuation force are almost like Kailh blue switches. Loudness is much quieter than Outemu and slightly softer than Cherry MX sound level. Have higher actuation force than Outemu but lower than Cherry MX. Feedback is between Outemu and Cherry MX. In short, Cherry MX > LH > Outemu. Do remember that LH switches keyboard is much cheaper than Cherry MX ones.
