On Monday, there was a small message to push the keyboard, but I didn't know what to buy. The two days Xiaobian was busy sorting the material, so that I had a chance to share it. The keyboard is most likely to be “pitted†by several points. Let's talk about this topic.
Who are you wired or wireless?
Many people buy keyboards. The first is to consider whether they want to buy wireless or wired. The wireless keyboard with the lowest price is even similar to the wired one, and it can be won for less than 50 yuan (no-name is not considered). What is the difference between them?
At present, the keyboard is divided into several categories. The first is the USB wired keyboard, which is nothing to say; the second is the 2.4G wireless keyboard. In general, the low-cost wireless keyboard is implemented using this technology, but , Do not think that 2.4G wireless keyboard = low; the third is a Bluetooth keyboard, most of the Bluetooth 4.0 Bluetooth keyboard; the fourth is multi-mode switching, here are also divided into two small categories, one is wired , wireless switching, namely USB +2.4 G wireless, mostly appear on the game keyboard; the other is 2.4G + Bluetooth full wireless switching method, you can connect three different computers, the general price of this expensive, mostly office Keyboard products for use.
Which of these four kinds is best for you? Xiao Bian simply sums it up, the first USB and the second 2.4G wireless keyboard, the price is not more than 80 yuan, suitable for no time requirements, daily use; the second 2.4G but complicated functions, there are multiple function keys The multimedia keyboard is suitable for home entertainment use (main media control); the third type is suitable for use by light game users and is convenient for different application scenarios; the fourth type is definitely the best choice for office use or multi-computer users. Of course, this is not absolute, because there are many criteria for judging the keyboard, this is only a rough classification, there are also many specially designed keyboard is not in these four areas.
How to choose no punching keyboard?
Non-redundant keyboard is actually born for the game, but at present there are mainly several products. The first one is the full-key no-rush, this design mostly appears on the wired keyboard (including the mechanical keyboard), simply means that all buttons are pressed at the same time Under the feedback, there will be no button conflict; the second is the 7 button no rush, that is, pressing seven buttons at the same time can be achieved without conflict, this design is mostly present on the Bluetooth 4.0 wireless keyboard; there is the most common The so-called 3 key no punch, this is the lowest-end "design" (in fact, there is no special design). The player who plays the game will certainly not choose the last one. After all, it is just the WASD four buttons that exceed the range of the three buttons.
In addition Xiao Bian to say two points, the first is whether the key to whether or not to look at the hardware design key, in theory, can be achieved, but this will affect the cost, no red design products will be more expensive; another point is that Xiao Bian seems to have seen Over 2.4G wireless keyboard with or without red design, if you know, may wish to leave a message to Xiao Bian,
Key caps also have small differences
Based on what dozens of keyboards, similar functions of the keyboard can sell hundreds (not a mechanical keyboard)? Many places that you don't value very much reflect the cost gap. Take a small keycap for example, the current keycap material is divided into three types, the first is the most common ABS plastic keycap, the lowest cost, the keycap is very easy to use for a long time shiny, keycap characters Many of them are printed and will wear out after a long time. Of course, there are some two-color molded ABS keycap, the word on the keycap is not easy to wear off, but as long as the keycap will be shiny; the second is called PBT keycap, compared to the hardness of ABS it is good A lot, and a lot of wear, but the key cap is rough, feels a strong sense of grain, the characters on the keycap are basically laser etched, so it will not be worn out; the third is the POM keycap, this kind of keycap Softer than PBT, feel more comfortable, but the most expensive, are basically high-end mechanical keyboard will use.
ABS key cap
PBT keycap
POM key cap
Do not underestimate the keycap, ABS material keycaps 108 keys together with the cost is very low, even to a fraction of the same number of POM keycaps, so are the keyboard, the price to open the gap.
Keyboard form determines price
In addition to the above-mentioned places that can affect the price, there is also very important: the keyboard form. The so-called form is one of Xiao Bian's own adjectives. It mainly distinguishes mechanical keyboards, membrane keyboards, and ergonomic keyboards.
Full height membrane keyboard
The most common keyboards, full-height keycaps, are generally inexpensive (whether wired or wireless), and are characterized by the usual use of ordinary ABS keycaps. Wireless products are basically 2.4G versions. The price is different from wired/wireless. The most is to join the multimedia control function, the price range of 30 yuan to 200 yuan.
Homemade shaft mechanical keyboard
A mechanical keyboard is actually a touch switch. Unlike a membrane keyboard, it does not rely on a rubber pad to trigger a key. The appearance of homemade shafts originates from the patented protection of the patented motor shaft and the low cost, but it can meet the needs of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts. Currently, it is mostly used in entry-level mechanical keyboards, and there is a small part of wireless keyboards. The wireless mode is also 2.4G. On the price, 150 yuan to 300 yuan can be purchased.
Half-height membrane keyboard
The half-height membrane keyboard is simply a thin keycap like a notebook. The essence of this product is no different from a full-height membrane keyboard, but the price is more expensive. Ordinary in the 100 yuan to 200 yuan; with a wireless technology (currently mostly 2.4G + Bluetooth multi-mode switching) half-high price of the keyboard keyboard is roughly 400 yuan to 800 yuan, Xiaobian said before, this Most keyboards are prepared by office and multi-device users.
Import axis mechanical keyboard
In fact, the imported axis is said to be the German cherry axis (subdivided into the red axis, the tea axis, the green axis, the black axis, and the upcoming silver axis) keyboard products, keycaps are mostly PBT or POM, USB wired keyboard, full The key is not rushed. Some products are USB +2.4G dual-mode products, the price of 300 yuan to 2,000 yuan level, can be said to be the most expensive kind of keyboard, of course, this is the game player's favorite keyboard type.
Ergonomic keyboard
After Xiaobian thought, he still put out the ergonomic keyboard alone. Currently still doing ergonomic keyboard is a Microsoft, the keyboard shape is clearly different from other traditional candy bar style, keycaps are currently half-high membrane keyboard, and basically are Bluetooth wireless products, this keyboard is Born to work, the price is not cheap, almost at the level of 800 yuan to 1,000 yuan.
Note: There is also a kind of electrostatic capacitance keyboard, the domestic brand is about 500 yuan, and the foreign brand is about 2,000 yuan. The characteristic is an organic combination of mechanical keyboard and membrane keyboard, and the structure is very soft but elastic. It is a high-end player. The new darling.
In general, the price gap between the keyboards is really huge. From the cheapest 30 yuan to 2,000 yuan each, it's not a simple matter to use a wired/wireless, mechanical/thin film to select the keyboard.
