Computer Peripherals Chapter 37: Membrane keyboards for office use are really wrong! It’s good to know when you start with a mechanical keyboard

Really, I found a very strange phenomenon, that is, when building a computer, many people like to invest in things like CPU/graphics card, even chassis and fans. In recent years, I have also started to spend a lot of money to invest. Few people say that when the machine is installed for the first time, it should be equipped with a mechanical keyboard. up. As everyone knows, you spent thousands or even tens of thousands of computers on the computer, and it was completely ruined on the 9.9 garbage keyboard. The computer would run very smoothly, but a garbage keyboard completely ruined the feel.

Recently, it is also affected by the general environment. Many people are working from home, and the children are also taking online classes at home. I just want to get a monitor, a keyboard, and even an old computer. I just bought a Heijue mechanical keyboard, which is not expensive, more than 300, but I really don’t think it feels so good. I used to be superstitious that a membrane keyboard is enough for office use. In fact, I was really wrong.

The biggest difference is that, for example, this Heijue AK873 mechanical keyboard is different from ordinary keyboards in the keycap part. It uses PBT single-sided thermal sublimation process, the height of MDA, and the edge of the keycap is rounded. Therefore, it is also very comfortable to use for a long time, and it will not be oily, unlike ordinary keyboards, which are shiny after a long time of use, very ugly, and have a poor hand feel.

In addition, in terms of the axis body, for the Heijue AK873, there are two types of Shanlan axis and Bi Luo axis. I use the Shanlan axis. This axis belongs to the linear axis. People think that mechanical keyboards are noisy, but this is not true. If you choose the right switch body, the experience is completely different. The Heijue Shanlan switch has a trigger pressure of 45±10g, a trigger stroke of 2mm, and a total stroke of 4mm. It is very comfortable, especially suitable for daily office coding. Of course, it is also suitable for playing games. However, if you really like playing games and are not afraid of disturbing your family, I still think it is more appropriate to buy a green switch.

What’s interesting is that this keyboard also supports full-key hot-swapping. Friends who have just entered the pit of mechanical keyboards may not know this term very well. Simply put, it means whether you want to use green switches, red switches, or others in the future. For any shaft, you can directly use the attached shaft puller to pull out the original shaft and replace it with a new shaft, which is very powerful.

In addition, this is a multi-mode keyboard. In addition to supporting wired, it also supports wireless 2.4G and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connections. The keyboard has a built-in 2500mAh battery, which can last up to 40 days, which is not bad. The main reason is that it also has a beautiful backlight, which is a plus for RGB lovers, but I don't care about the backlight.

Now, I am very used to the feel of using a mechanical keyboard. If I go back to using a membrane keyboard, it is difficult for me to adapt. However, the mechanical keyboard also has disadvantages, that is, the key position is too high for me, it would be nice if I gave it a hand rest. This one comes with a dust cover, a key puller, a replacement shaft, and an additional Mac keycap.
