Description
Are you still using the same
plastic keyboard that came with your PC? Then it’s time to go for a change.
Just go through this tutorial and choose an apt keyboard for your PC.
Solution:
Wired or Wireless
The first thing you need to think
about is whether you need a wired keyboard or wireless. Choosing a wireless keyboard
can make your desk more uncluttered. But, wireless keyboard have some negative
aspects also. Wireless keyboard requires regular charging. Going further, you
have another choice with wireless keyboard i.e. you can choose between radio-frequency
(RF) and Bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth keyboards like Logitech’s diNovo
Edge needs more power as compare to their RF counterparts. Also, these
keyboards may take time to wake up or remain paired up with your computer.
In case, you are choosing radio-frequency
option you should know that most RF wireless keyboards work on the 2.4GHz
frequency. And, it makes them susceptible to interference from neighboring devices
using same frequency.
Check out the Switches
Always look for switches of the
keyboard. Mostly, manufacturers use rubber-dome switches as they are cheap.
But, such types of keyboards are not easy to operate. You need to push a button
very hard so as to get the tactile feedback. Scissor switches can be used as an
alternative to rubber-dome switches. These are almost same but with slimmer
profile like Apple’s aluminum keyboard. Cherry MX mechanical switches are also
available to replace rubber-dome and scissor keyboards. It has faster feedback
capacity by saving both time and effort.
There are different color-coded
models of Cherry MX mechanical switches which offer different levels of tactile
feedback and resistance. The tactile feedback of Blue and Brown switches lets
you enjoy swift and pain-free typing. Blue switches are the most appropriate
choice for mechanical keyboard newbies. Red switches are designed for gamers.
Keyboard layout
QWERTY layout of the keyboard
with a numeric keypad on the side is not suitable. In fact, numpad-free
keyboards are also available as well as some offers to switch from QWERTY
layout to Dvorak or Colemak, and back again. Going to the most common
configuration, it consists of a 104-key layout with a full set of QWERTY keys
and a ten-key numeric keypad. Nowadays,
keyboards with ten-key numeric keypad are becoming popular. Also, the absence
of numeric keys like in Truly Ergonomic’s Truly Ergonomic Keyboard and Cooler
Master’s CM Storm QuickFire Rapid provides more space next to the keyboard.
Therefore, keep your eye open to
choose the perfect keyboard which can make your typing as painless as possible.
