Dropped water into Samsung Netbook. Keyboard messed up.?


Remove ALL the power supplies (lead and battery) DO NOT use wd40 as it can attack the membrane within the keyboard and it will if it gets onto the PCB eat away at the lacquer that protects the circuits Let it dry out over a few days then try it again if the problem persists then it has possibly corrupted the chip set for your system try an external keyboard if that shows the same faults then it is the chip set and you will have an expensive repair to pay for

Disabling laptop's internal keyboard in windows 10
This does not disable the keyboard, but it's an alternative to the whole "pick wrong driver to make keyboard stop working".Some drivers made keyboard still work, others froze my system, today I found out that the Cherry gmbH USB Keyboard stops the keyboard from working and doesnt mess up my system

How do I keep my keyboard pedal from running away?
You could fashion a "leash" for it by taping, tying or gluing twine or kite string to it. At the other end of the "leash", tie a loop that's a little bigger than the leg of the chair / bench you sit on. Then before you play the keyboard each time, put the loop end around the leg of your bench / chair. That will keep your pedal from straying too far away. It may move left or right a little bit, but from my personal experience as a pianist / keyboardist, that movement should be minimal

Help with MacBook Pro (unibody) keyboard damage
No. Impossible.You can pop out the keys if you like (see this YouTube clip). I would advise against pulling out the entire keyboard as you wo not be able to clean it any quicker and may damage it (depending on your dexterity) in the process. It is also a lengthy process that requires removal of the logicboard (hit up iFixit for details). Technically, the keyboard is attached to the top panel of the notebook (unlike the pre-unibody MacBook Pros).As for a cleaning solution, you can use any monitor cleaner or a high concentrate (99%) isopropyl alcohol (70% will if you can not find the 99%, but not preferred). Apply it using q-tips or a small micro-fiber rag.

keyboard works in the BIOS(except a), but not at the password screen(win 7, 64bit)
I too have 7720g laptop and I've had same experience with spilled liquids. My advice is to remove the keyboard and let it dry. To do that, you need to remove the battery, unscrew the screws below it and the two screws at the back of the laptop. After that you need to carefully pop the speaker panel. Insert a small screw driver between the speaker panel and bottom cover and carefully disconnect them. After that, you will be able to remove the keyboard. You should carefully disconnect is from the tabs at the sides and bottom and then very carefully lift it up and move it down. At the lower center of the keyboard there is a cable which connects it to the laptop. Turn the keyboard over and you should be able to disconnect the keyboard at the laptop side. After that, you should turn the keyboard upside down and let it dry for several days. In the meantime, you can put back the speaker panel and use external keyboard

Recently, the peripheral circle is really overwhelmed, and major manufacturers are releasing hot-swappable, gasket structures, various new shafts, various configurations, and various color schemes. Among the domestic manufacturers, Dalyou, who was the first to roll these, has recently started to roll office peripherals! Today, we are going to take a look at how the newly launched small cube sugar wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard can make a big impact in the field of office peripherals.



Instead of the usual e-sports color scheme, the entire packaging is designed with elegant light colors and line draft patterns, which also caters to the fashion office and women-oriented target groups of this series.



The accessories are relatively monotonous. Except for the keyboard, there are only Type-C cables and instructions for charging. Compared with the supplementary keycap and transparent dust cover that comes with the A series, it still lacks a little meaning.



The entire keyboard is made of pink and white, the upper cover and the base are pink, and the keycaps are made of pink and white PBT two-color injection molding. The pink version looks more girly, and the cat claws on the knob in the upper right corner add a bit of cuteness and cuteness. The compact layout design of 82key also looks relatively small, and the key arrangement below 80% is more suitable for desk and office use.



The cat's claw on the knob is a detachable silicone sleeve. The three-dimensional cat's claw restores the cat's palm. After it is removed, the pure white knob is exposed. In addition to adjusting the volume, the default function of the middle part is to adjust the sound switch. Very convenient.



Although the small sugar cube wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard uses a plastic upper and lower cover, the surface treatment process is well done, and the touch and appearance give people a feeling of metal material.



On the side of the keyboard, it can be seen that there is a slightly curved U-shaped arc. After expanding the two-stage foot support, the input angle will be more comfortable.



The keycap of this keyboard is a bit different from our common ones. The side of the keycap that touches the finger has a sunken arc, and the edge is more similar to the roundness of a ball cap. The concave surface design is mainly to fit the fingertips and is used continuously. At the same time, the button feel is highly recognizable, and the surface of the keycap is different from the conventional PBT matte texture, which is more similar to the warm and moist feel of the skin.



As for the switch body, Dareu’s own sky switch V2 is used. Its lighter linear feel has gained a good reputation since its launch, and an upgraded version of the sky switch V3 has also been launched later. In terms of satellite switches, we can see the purple-gold color satellite switch that Dareu loves most. Maybe it’s because the large key has been complained too much. Not only has it been replaced with a satellite switch made of POM, but the large key switch body has also been directly replaced with other keys. A different blue core sky axis.


The brand-new Zijin satellite shaft does not have too thick grease, and the overall feel stability is more balanced, and there will be no sensuality that everyone often says.



Friends who have seen the dismantling should know that Dareu’s mechanical keyboard, which is advertised as an office, is so arrogant that it adopts a gasket structure design. The PC positioning board on the first layer also directly adopts the same pink configuration as the fuselage. Under the positioning board is a thick silicone layer and PCB, and under the PCB is a sound-absorbing bottom cotton.



Like the Dareu A series, the first version is basically equipped with three modes, Type-C wired + 2.4G wireless + Bluetooth, it can be said to be really practical and convenient in office, just pick up a mobile phone It can be connected to a tablet or a laptop.



Let's summarize the core selling points of this Dahlou small sugar cube wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard, the gasket structure, customized sugar cube keycaps, customized mechanical switches, three-mode connection, and personalized color matching. In the field of office peripherals, this can directly go to the sky, but you get what you pay for. Although the price of this product is much cheaper than e-sports peripherals, it can satisfy many 9.9 free shipping peripherals. For most users, the price is still high. The main audience of this mechanical keyboard should be the beauty party and some white-collar workers. Similarly, for this kind of roll king product with good appearance and stacking materials, I personally like it quite a lot.

Back then, I bought my first MacBook Air (incompatible with office software) in order not to have to work after work. I have to say that switching from the Windows system that I have been using for many years to the macOS system has a lot of things to adapt to. . Everything else can be overcome slowly, but the only thing that makes me unable to adapt is the Apple keyboard. It is said that the scissors-style structure has been optimized. For me who is used to mechanical keyboards, typing on an Apple computer always feels like I am directly tapping the desktop with my fingers. So finding a suitable keyboard became the first purchase goal of Apple accessories.


The keyboard of the Keychron series is recognized as one of the best keyboards for the Apple system in the key ring. I bought his K8 Pro in a hurry before, and there is absolutely nothing to say that it is easy to use. Even with this keyboard weighing nearly 2 catties, it is basically impossible for me to run around with it and a notebook on my back. Later, I also looked at a few other low-axis keyboards. Either the price was too high or the value was not good. The moderate feeling was a little bit short of the perfect keyboard in my mind.


There is a saying that "a good meal is not afraid of being late". During my search, I successfully found the new K3 Pro product from Keychron. As an upgraded version of Keychron's overseas hot-selling K3. This product is basically the feeling of poking in the flesh of my heart. Spring is here, let's also change the keyboard to change our mood.



Needless to say about the outer packaging, the overall black packaging style can be regarded as an old actor of the Keychron family, mature and stable. The keyboard information and product characteristics printed with laser effect on the black outsole last year, I don’t know if it is for the same version of the packaging to send to overseas markets, anyway, I didn’t see the Chinese introduction on the outer packaging.



The packaging of the whole product is relatively compact, and the keyboard is well fixed by the foam partition to avoid damage to the keyboard due to bumps during the logistics process (you can rest assured that there is an air column packaging outside when it is shipped).

One thing I personally feel regretful is that the seemingly ultra-thin low-axis mechanical keyboard does not come with a dust cover. If you use it in a fixed position every day, you may have to find a way to purchase a third-party dust cover!



We can see that the keyboard of Keychron K3 Pro is a keyboard with 75% configuration and a simplified 84-key layout. The keys are the same as our commonly used laptops. It reduces the proportion of desktop space while ensuring the convenience of daily use. Compared with some keyboards where the ↑↓←→ keys are reduced, I prefer this large-sized arrow key. .



The entire keycap adopts Keychron's classic gray-black color, and the ESC and ENTER are replaced by orange red. Make the entire keyboard look more agile. Of course, you can also find black ESC and ENTER keys in the keycaps provided. Let the entire keycap be gray and black.



The unique short shaft design is much thinner than the traditional shaft body, so the entire K3 Pro can be made very thin, the thinnest part is 17mm, and a 1550mAh battery is placed at the same time under this thickness, and the whole body adopts The upper and lower cover structure, the upper cover is made of aluminum alloy and the lower cover is impermeable plastic shell. The weight of the entire keyboard is controlled at about 500G, which improves portability.




On the left is the K8 Pro and on the right is the K3 pro. Obviously, due to the difference in the structure of the shaft and the keyboard, the thickness of the final product is very different.



The top of the K3 pro provides a Type-c interface for connecting data cables, and there is also a two-stage system switching lever and a three-stage mode switching lever, which can switch between wired and Bluetooth modes. Compatible with WIN, Android and Apple systems.



The most convenient design of the MAC keyboard is the preset shortcut keys for various functions. The K3 Pro retains these function keys, and also prints the icons directly on the keycaps, but on this point, I am a little reluctant to change this set keycap.



Comes with a two-stage foot support, which can realize three support angles of about 3°-6°-9°, and you can find a more comfortable use angle that is more suitable for you. Thanks to the thin and light design, I feel that it is even palm Tuo can be omitted. There are multiple rubber non-slip pads on the bottom of the entire keyboard, even on the support feet, which is very useful in actual use.



This time, the K3 Pro has been upgraded and launched many styles, which are divided into red switches, green switches, and brown switches according to the switch body. According to the functions, there are basic white light fixed shafts, cool RGB fixed shafts and the top configuration I bought, and the exclusive version: RGB hot-swappable. There are nine styles to choose from.



The keycaps are made of LSA height, PBT material two-color injection molding process keycaps, the PBT content ≥ 40% produced by a major manufacturer, this ratio can ensure that the keycaps are more wear-resistant and not easy to oil.



The shaft body is even more powerful, and it has been upgraded to the 2.0 version of Jiadalong short shaft. The stroke is increased, and the pressing feel is improved. It has improved the phenomenon of premature bottoming of the short axis in the past.



Keychron K3 Pro adopts the steel plate satellite shaft design this time, which keeps the satellite shaft and the shaft body at the same level, thereby reducing the swing of the large key. And from my photo, it can be clearly seen that the satellite axis has been run over.



With Bluetooth 5.1, K3 Pro can adapt to 3 devices at the same time, and use Fn+1/Fn+2/Fn+3 to quickly switch between the required devices to meet the needs of multitasking at any time.




K3 Pro's well-designed 5 floating foot pads can be placed on top of the native keyboard on the laptop, and will not press any keys on the laptop.



This is very convenient in actual use. After all, we can continue to use the touchpad of the Apple computer without leaving the keyboard. I think friends who use Apple computers to do video editing should be more impressed by this point, which is why I recommend this keyboard of K3 pro to friends.




And in the case of pure codewords, it is no problem to place the computer and keyboard separately, and do as you feel comfortable.



Simple text work can even be quickly edited and organized on the mobile phone through the K3 pro. After all, many APPs are now very powerful.



With the hot-swappable function, the shaft body can be easily replaced without welding, and other types of shaft bodies can be purchased later to achieve different user experience.



The RGB version of the streamer design can provide 22 lighting effect modes, and you can switch the lighting effect with one key through the button on the upper right corner of the keyboard, which is more playable.




Through the official disassembly diagram, we can see that there is no sound-absorbing filling between the positioning board and the PCB, but the ultra-thin design of the K3 Pro makes its own cavity relatively small, so the noise is also very loud when typing. small.



Keychron’s keyboard can adjust the keyboard layout through QMK/VIA software, and you can directly modify the key position through the official website download or online link.




It is also possible to perform macro editing on the keyboard to better improve work efficiency.



If you are a person who needs to switch back and forth between WIN and macOS, then Keychron's keyboard is a good choice due to its good adaptability. But you usually want to take the keyboard and your Apple notebook out, so with a budget of around 500 yuan, the K3 Pro keyboard is definitely one of your best choices.


advantage:


1. The entire keyboard is made of solid materials, and the weight is well controlled. Coupled with the same key layout as a notebook, it is definitely not a fake product when you go out, it is a pure productivity tool. The official battery life data is 35 hours. I haven’t compared it carefully. Anyway, I used it as the main keyboard for mobile office during this time. I usually use the wireless mode when I go out, and when I come back to the office, I connect it to the desktop with a cable, and I can charge it while working.


2. The Pro high-end products in Keychron's K series can definitely touch the threshold of customization. Although mine is an ultra-thin design, as long as you have strong hands-on skills, you can still carry out "special" upgrades to the keyboard. .


3. Bluetooth mode, multi-system support allows you to switch between computers, mobile phones, and tablets at will, which is very practical.


A little regret is: the Keychron brand feels that all its skills are currently focused on product design and R&D, and there are relatively few peripheral products. For example, my K3 Pro keyboard, I can’t find it in the official website. To the matching keycaps and suitable keyboard covers. You know, as a keyboard that is most likely to be taken out of the street, if you can provide a beautiful and practical keyboard cover, it will definitely be an icing on the cake.

As mentioned earlier, I recently bought a keyboard kit for the GK980+. The shaft body adopts the gold powder shaft v2. The keycaps were originally programmer keycaps from Pinduoduo. When I was wandering in Xianyu before the goods arrived, I saw this Eva zero keycap again. Free shipping is only 30 yuan, with the mentality of giving it a try. Just get one.





I was not very hopeful at first, because the seller's description was spelled out from a garbage bag, although the spelled out has not been used. And looking at other platforms, the new ones cost around 100 yuan, and even the second-hand ones on Xianyu cost more than 70 yuan. But when I received it, it was amazing. It can be described as excellent value for money.



At the same time, I decisively removed the installed programmer keycap and replaced it with the keycap of the eva zero machine. He really is a man who loves the new and dislikes the old...



The theme keycap of EVA unit zero adopts the body design in the Japanese animation "Neon Genesis Evangelion" as the theme. The appearance design is very anime-style. With the unique blue, white and black color scheme, it presents a very cool effect . Secondly, the pattern of the keycaps is also very exquisite.


It's just that compared with this cool keycap, the packaging is a plastic bag. Of course, 30 yuan can't complain about anything.



In terms of material texture, PBT material should be used, and the texture is good. The surface of the keycaps is smooth, but not slippery, and the feel is very comfortable. The gap between the keycaps is also very suitable, and the keys will not be stuck when used.



The surface workmanship feels very good, but the burrs on the back of some buttons are still obvious.




Although it is said to be pieced together from garbage bags, there are still some additions that should be made. There are a total of 123 keycaps.



There is also a place where the button is found to be not very stitched, and it still feels warped when pressed hard. But... (it's only 30 yuan, it's only 30 yuan, it's only 30 yuan) can be tolerated.





The feel of the keycaps is very important. This EVA zero machine keycap is of XDA height. I am used to the height of OEM, I always feel that XDA is not smooth when I use it for the first time, and typing with flat hands is very tiring.



Later, I found a way, which is to use the keyboard pad that has been eating dust for a long time, and then open the keyboard feet to increase it, so that it can be used smoothly.




In addition, because of the large and full design of the keycap, the elasticity of the keycap is very good when in use, and the feedback of the key is very obvious. With the gold powder switch, the noise when pressed is not too much, giving people a very comfortable feeling. typing experience.






It is a real profit to buy the keycaps of the Eva No. 0 machine in this wave. Unfortunately, the seller also has other two models. After selling a total of more than ten sets, they are all sold out. Otherwise, continue to buy back for collection. Well, this time the content is shared here. If you like it, please give me a like and follow. Thanks for your patience watching.

In recent years, we have been surrounded by high-priced mechanical keyboards. Whether we choose the one that suits us or the more expensive one, everyone seems to have a different answer. And customized keyboards have always been the favored object among keyboards. Nowadays, the homogenization of mechanical keyboards is becoming more and more serious. There is a lot of novelty. Although there are many answers given by customized keyboards, its price has remained high.


Recently, I received the Rapoo V700DIY launched by Rapoo, which supports hot-swappable 104 keys, RGB backlight, full key position without punching, etc., and besides the surprise, I also received the KA-12 self-developed linear So what is the difference between this switch and the fast silver switch that fits in the fuselage, and what are the advantages, let's take a look together.


In the past few years, I have been exposed to many Rapoo products, and I have summarized the details of the packaging, that is, its main packaging color will be black and blue, so I see this design of keyboard packaging in shopping malls. , nine out of ten are Leiber's.








Floating keyboard design, over the shoulder design is very thoughtful


In terms of the keyboard, the Rapoo V700DIY gives me the feeling that it is very clean. The pure white keyboard is matched with the aluminum alloy top cover. The overall feeling is very elegant. If my desktop is the main color of white, then this keyboard will be more attractive. Of course, the white keyboard will not be very picky, because it is very versatile.








I remember that my first mechanical keyboard was from Rapoo, and it has been with me for more than 5 years. It can still be used normally even now, so I can see from the side that the life of the mechanical keyboard will be very high, and it will not Because we use it for a few years, it will be damaged. The keyboard layout of Rapoo V700DIY is a standard 104 arrangement. The biggest difference from other products is that there is a shoulder design on the upper right. This area contains four function keys and a scroll wheel. Keys come faster, especially when fishing in the office.








At the bottom of the keyboard is a section of feet, counting the non-slip silicone pads on the feet, a total of seven pieces, the entire keyboard supports two angles of adjustment. To be honest, I still recommend using multi-segment foot supports, which can meet the needs of different people. It is enough to see the slotting position, and it will be better to replace it later.














In order to create a better backlight effect, Rapoo V700DIY adopts a suspended design, and it can be seen through the side power supply opening that it provides a reserved position for future multi-mode keyboards.








After all, it is a brand that has been cultivating peripherals for many years. The keycap of Pennefather V700DIY uses a set of light-transmitting PBT keycaps. After all, the addition of PBT material makes the entire keycap feel very good. The price of 100 yuan is a big discount on the workmanship, and the rough edges of the keycaps are still very good.








Compatible with multiple brands, there are surprises for the independent axis body


In the shaft part, we divide it into two parts, one part is the shaft body and hot swap mounted on the fuselage, and the other part is the linear elastic white shaft.




Most people choose the hot-swappable keyboard because of its rich DIY attributes. You can change the keycaps and shafts according to your own preferences. The Pennefather V700DIY uses the standard pentagonal shaft seat, which means that all the familiar shafts are all You can buy it back and put it in. You can even change the red switch, black switch, jellyfish switch according to different positions as long as you like. We don’t need to worry too much about its lifespan in today’s keyboards. Instead, it’s its design, the switch The life of the socket is all there, and every family is the same. You can't plug and unplug the shaft dozens of times a day.








The Rapoo V700DIY in my hand is equipped with Rapoo’s own fast silver switch body, which is a linear axis with a trigger stroke of 1.3mm. If your office is not particularly quiet, I think the fast silver switch is more suitable for long-term typing. Because its trigger stroke is relatively short, it can be activated without much effort. Of course, there is no problem in taking into account some games.








Let’s take a look at the linear elastic white switch in the small package. Although they are all linear switches, they still have certain differences. Its trigger stroke is lower than that of the quick silver switch, only 1.2mm, and the trigger pressure is also higher than that of the quick silver switch. It is about 10g less, so it is a shaft with smaller trigger pressure and trigger travel. I think it is more suitable for female text creators. There is still a certain probability of accidental touch in the game.








There is no difference in the structure between the Rapoo white switch and the fast silver switch. Compared with the silver switch, its feel will be stronger after pressing the keycap. It's quite interesting to be able to clearly feel the feedback given to the fingers between the different shafts when typing on the text.








18 kinds of lighting modes to create a magical desktop


In fact, in terms of price, the design and structure of the Rapoo V700DIY are sufficient, but it also creates surprises, that is, the figure of RGB will leak from the shaft body to the keycap, and the Rapoo V700DIY has quite rich The RGB lighting mode has different lighting effects under different modes, and the button to switch the lighting effect is located in the over-the-shoulder area on the right.








There are many lighting effects. I have recorded several lighting modes here. In addition to the above constant light, there are many rich illusion modes. We can even customize each button under the lighting mode. Setting the color, standing in this price is really rare.


























Summarize


If you are choosing a keyboard recently and want to have hot-swappable, RGB lighting effects, DIY attributes, metal texture, and independent design, then Rapoo V700DIY will give you a different surprise, compared to the "four square" custom As for the keyboard, Pennefather V700DIY has a certain design language in it, just like the packaging mentioned at the beginning. When you see a keyboard with this design, it is a Rapoo product in all likelihood.
