What Is the Best Keyboard for Learning How to Play the Piano?

What is the best keyboard for learning how to play the piano?

Getting an affordable keyboard with weighted keys that are also touch sensitive. Because piano requires more force from your fingers, the weighted keys are more important for when you want to switch to a real piano. Getting touch sensitive keys is critical too, so the more force you use playing the keys, the louder the notes sound on the keyboard. Because pianos are that way, the more pressure your finger puts on the key, the louder the note sounds. You want also to look for one with optional piano pedals, so you get used to muting, softening, or extending, the notes with the foot pedals. Choosing a keyboard also has the stand issue where some keyboards have better stands than others, to set it up at the right height for you to play. All of these issues are important in purchasing a keyboard. You also have to read reviews about keyboards, because things like the keys stopping working, or breaking is a real issue. You have to avoid those brands. I hope this helps, it's all i know about it.

Dropped phone in water...turns on, but keyboard doesn't work? Help?

Let the phone sit in a big bowl of rice. This will absorb any moisture left inside the phone components. I am not saying this will work guaranteed because the keyboard could be shot, electricity and water dont mix too well, but give it a try. my cousin put his iphone into a cooler compartment and it fell into water during work, was in there for a couple hours without him knowing. he let it sit in rice for a couple days and it worked again

How do you clean a mechanical keyboard?

Iu2019ve tried a lot of things, and things have changed, so it is harder to do. Some cleaning chemicals warp the elastomeric springy material under the keys, so you donu2019t want to go there. Iu2019ve tried a vacuum, but it still canu2019t get under the keys well. Iu2019ve tried canned-compressed propellant, but now they put embitterment in it because apparently kids were getting high off the propellant. Now it makes your hands bitter, the keyboard bitter, the surrounding furniture bitter and isnu2019t worth it to use anymore. (Probably would have been better for the world if they had just beat the hell out of the kids. ) Diluted dish detergent with a old toothbrush relegated for only housecleaning work, and maybe an ear-cleaning swab, with toilet tissue for a dryer. You need to have space to remove the keytops from either the front, or by unscrewing the top half of the keyboard from the bottom (after drawing out which keys go where, since there are so many variations as to keyboard designations). You can only clean out a keyboard for so many times before the natural wear and tear causes the keys to stick because the plastic stems have worn down to a rough , not smooth surface.

What type of engineers are involved in the making of the infrared keyboard?

Electrical and computer engineers would be doing all the work. Design of the IR lasers, sensors etc., the physical hardware involved are is done by electrical engineers. Software/firmware that takes the input from the sensors and interprets it to decide which keys are being touched is done by both electrical and computer engineers, as it is mostly multi-dimensional signal processing. Everything else electronic about the keyboard (i.e. getting it to talk to the computer) is done by computer engineers. The package is most likely designed by mechanical engineers in conjunction with the other engineers.

Is a keyboard with updatable firmware a security risk?

The important question is: where has the keyboard been ?Basically, if the keyboard is new and fresh from the factory, then it is about as safe as such things can be. If such a keyboard has been infected with a keylogger, then it was done in the factory and you cannot realistically prevent such a thing anyway. It is up to you to not allow infection to occur afterwards; i. e. , do not plug your keyboard in unknown computers.If the keyboard has been used elsewhere by potentially malicious people, then tough luck. I would advise against buying a second-hand keyboard.
