It is good that in Russia there is a domestic manufacturer that manufactures accessories for computers and mobile equipment. It's about Defender. Keyboard, mouse, acoustics, speakers, cameras - this is only the beginning of the list of products that a well-known brand represents in the CIS market.
This article will focus on keyboards. Input devices are practically no different from the products of foreign competitors. Is that a significant difference is noticeable in price - a domestic product is cheaper. Description, instructions, specifications and reviews will help the reader to get acquainted with interesting devices under the Defender logo.
A special approach to the buyer
The domestic policy of the Russian manufacturer of computer accessories is such that it does not allow itself to produce products that are completely similar to each other. That is, in store windows, the buyer will not be able to find two identical keyboards with different names. Each product is unique - this is why Defender brand is interesting to many users. The keyboard is presented on the market in several variations:
- wired devices;
- wireless manipulators;
- keyboard and mouse kits.
Naturally, there is segmentation by price. There are not only budget products, but also devices for business or for toy lovers. It is immediately clear that the Russian manufacturer is able not only to produce, but also to engage in marketing.
Separate story
The low cost of domestic products, judging by the reviews of potential buyers, suggests the low quality of keyboard manufacturing. In practice, things are somewhat different. It’s better to start with the fact that the expensive segment for gamers and businessmen is no different in quality from the products of well-known manufacturers Zalman, A4Tech, Genius and a dozen other serious brands.
With the budget segment, things are a little worse: the rattling of buttons, the fragility of the plastic, or some other minor troubles that are common to all cheap keyboards are possible. However, all products of the Russian manufacturer have one feature that distinguishes it from competitors. We are talking about a unique configuration of the device: Defender keyboard, manual, warranty card and software, in which there is an application for learning fast typing.
Budget representative
A wired input device worth 300-400 rubles is far from fantastic. That is exactly what the manufacturer asks for his product in the domestic market. An ordinary full-size plastic keyboard doesn’t differ much from competitors in the budget price segment. The same arrangement of keys, their size and the complete lack of multimedia.
As an example, we can recommend buyers to pay attention to the following Defender wired solutions: Accent SB-520/720/820. Among the listed models there are products with USB and PS / 2 interfaces, so the user does not need to worry about compatibility. However, experts recommend giving preference to a USB connection, since Defender keyboards do not work for many owners due to breakdowns in the PS / 2 port itself.
Multimedia devices
In their reviews, many owners colorfully describe the technical characteristics of manipulators equipped with multimedia. The presence of many buttons for a long time does not surprise anyone, as well as their functionality. Recently, keyboard design and ease of use have been relevant. In an affordable price segment (800-1800 rubles), the manufacturer has located his unique creations that attract the eyes of all potential buyers from afar. It does not matter that in front of the user is a Defender wired keyboard or its wireless analogue, only the features are interesting:
- adjustable backlight of all keys (moreover, the control is carried out both by brightness and color);
- the rubberized surface of the case allows the owner not to break away from his favorite toy, even for a snack;
- the ability to redefine function keys and assign scripts to them;
- connecting the keyboard to mobile devices (we are talking about the SB-905 Bluetooth model).
Hot sale
Keyboards Defender, reviews of a positive nature about which excite the public, are called Redragon Asura. Initially, the manufacturer positioned them in the gaming segment. This was indicated not only by the appearance of the manipulator and the functionality, but also by the cost (2000 rubles). However, it was this product that appealed to many politicians, businessmen and ordinary users who wanted to have a high-quality and reasonably nice product on hand.
Multifunctionality, the presence of a backlight and a magnificent rubberized coating attract the attention of all users who did not even think of acquiring such an expensive device. However, the appearance of the keyboard does not leave anyone indifferent. The only negative that has been discovered by many users is the presence of a wire that connects the pointing device to the computer.
Manufacturer weakness
For some reason, the Defender wireless keyboard has not taken root in the market. Users preferred either wired manipulators, or chose a set of radio devices (keyboard and mouse). At some point, the manufacturer completely removed the wireless manipulators from the assortment. But after a while some interesting solutions appeared under the Defender logo on the market.
Firstly, we are talking about a Bluetooth pointing device for tablets and smartphones. The second interesting product is the representative of the Infinity SM-616 business segment. Externally, the manipulator is similar to the strict keyboard of HP 17-inch notebooks, however, in terms of functionality and convenience, this keyboard is unlikely to have competitors in the market at all.
However, the product range is still poor in this segment. Indeed, many buyers have not been able to pick up a wireless keyboard without a mouse. Accordingly, the Russian manufacturer lost some of its customers due to its mistake.
Exclusive Kits
But in the segment of wireless sets (keyboard and mouse), the potential buyer really has something to choose from products under the Defender logo. The keyboard is not only exclusive, but also has a unique appearance that attracts the attention of users. In the price range of 1500-3000 rubles, the buyer is sure to find a device to his taste.
The set of Oxford C-975 will appeal to all students and office staff, because this product is designed for fast typing. Creative people will like the Skyline 895 set, because it really remotely resembles an immense clear sky.
Devices in this segment can be selected by any parameters: color, dimensions, shape, functionality. There are no restrictions. Even the stroke and height of the keys can be selected at the request of the potential buyer. Even the mouse manipulator does not disturb the overall picture. The component of the wireless kit is a complete semblance of a unique keyboard and is equally exclusive.
Finally
You can talk about the merits of the Defender brand for many more hours. Keyboard or mouse, it doesn't matter - everything is worthy only of the praise of the owners. As long as the Russian manufacturer has such a huge assortment of goods on the domestic market, negative reviews in the media will certainly not appear. IT experts are confident that Defender will delight its fans for years to come.
