What Is Ergonomic Keyboard and Mouse Supplier?

I suddenly fell in love with the retro style of the old keyboard, especially the battleship like Cherry 9009, I really like it. But most of the old keyboards are arranged in the classic 104 or 108, compared to the cherry G80-3000. Although this series is also a classic, and the retro taste of the big forehead is quite enough, the arrangement of 104 is still too common.

Inadvertently, when surfing the Internet, I found a G80-11800 manufactured by Cherry for Compaq. This unique key arrangement immediately attracted me. The thick border is combined with the unique double-row F area and the top pad area, and the lower right corner is used as an exquisite mouse operation area, which makes the keyboard a bit more interesting.

However, I heard that the trackball is easy to break, and there is no WIN key, so it feels inconvenient to use. The main reason is that the 11800 did not find a trimmer keyboard. The price on the second-hand market is around 180 yuan, so I gave up. Look at the picture Forget it.

But in the era of big data, there are such benefits. As long as you have searched for this type of product, it will naturally be pushed to you inadvertently. No, after a few days, an article about the model Cherry G80-11900 came out.

G80-11900

It is the next-generation product of G80-11800, and its positioning is at the flagship level. The key layout is exactly the same as that of 11800. It is a variant of G80-1800. The lower right corner is the same touchpad as a notebook. The accuracy is not high, but I am thinking about it. In this position, a screen can be added in the future, and a small thing of the intelligent system can be placed in it, which can be regarded as a part of the customized key, haha.

Although you can't get a big ship like the Cherry 9009, the 11900 can be regarded as a small battleship, and it is also a classic. Seeing that there are more than 60 yuan of second-hand cord-cutting keyboards priced at 11900, it is quite cheap, so I bought one and came back to repair it myself. The problem with the cord-cutting keyboard is that Taiyike has returned, and it is also necessary to fight for RP. In case the main control is broken, it can only be used as a switch board to remove the switch.

Now it is popular to change the keyboard to TYPEC key line separation. It is a very useful modification. I bought the wire connector directly from a certain treasure, and found that the keyboard connector of Cherry is 1.5P when I came back. I bought the 1.25P on the Internet and found it was too small. Here also waited a few days for express delivery. After turning on the power, I found that the computer does not recognize the keyboard, and the car overturned? In the end, I realized that the touchpad must also be connected to the computer to recognize it. However, a large number of keys are out of order, and it took N wires to solve the problem.

The TYPEC connector is also flying.

After all the buttons are normal, spray paint on the shell, and the painting process will not be displayed. The keycaps were temporarily used and put together from a garbage bag without engraving. It is a Picasso style. The main thing I want to say is the hand spray paint I bought. I originally wanted the white color of the old computer and the white shell of the old cherry keyboard. I thought it was milky white. But after spraying it, I realized that I was wrong. The milky white is slightly yellowish. After spraying it, it turns yellow and yellow like the white key is old and oxidized. Even the spray paint will help me become nostalgic, which is equivalent to directly making the keyboard old.

The original 11900 shaft is a cherry five-legged black shaft, which is too heavy to handle, and needs to be replaced with some lighter springs to make it thicker. I have to say, after the black shaft of Cherry is replaced with a thicker spring, it feels really good in the hand. With the unique steel-free structure of Cherry, it really feels like knocking on a wooden fish. In addition, the unique rustling sound of the cherry black shaft becomes particularly magical after being moistened. However, due to time constraints, I dealt with the letter area and a few large keys. I changed the space bar and ESC key to the red switch, and the other springs will be replaced when I have time.

Of course, the non-engraved keycap garbage bag is just a transitional use. I matched it with a set of plastic themed keycaps. There are a few unique keys with Chinese notes. It seems that it was born for the 11900 arrangement. It is really a perfect match. But when it is a headache, the space bar of 11900 is 6U, and the chrysanthemum is not in the center. , surprisingly fit well.

With the keycaps attached, the entire keyboard cost about 100, which is the most satisfying one I have made recently. The spring-changed cherry light black switch feels great when typing, and this article is completed with this keyboard. Whether you like the special arrangement of 11800 and 11900 depends on everyone's taste, and the arrangement of function keys may take a while to get used to. Most of the key arrangements are too conventional at present, and sometimes it is too plain to put on the desktop. Come to such a special keyboard, it has a special flavor. A keyboard isn't meant to be used for typing sometimes, it's also a desk decoration once in a while, right?

My attitude towards keyboards used to be to use them as long as they work, but since working and building my own desktop, I've changed my mind. As a development engineer and text worker, I spend more than 12 hours working with the keyboard every day. After experiencing the initial membrane keyboard, I changed the main force to a mechanical keyboard.

Let’s start with a wave of pictures. First of all, the keycaps are greasy. After years of use, the keycaps gradually become oily. The greasyness that can’t be wiped off by wet tissues really affects the use; the bottom of the keycaps is particularly easy to hide dirt. So it has to be cleaned every once in a while. The keycaps can be cleaned, but the oiled keycaps are not easy to clean, but fortunately the keycaps can be replaced.

Before choosing a keycap, you must first look at the material. As far as I know, there are three main materials for keycaps, namely ABS, PBT, and POM. The keycaps of most keyboard and mouse sets are made of ABS, because the cost is low and the price is cheap, but the disadvantages are also obvious. The material is soft, easy to oil and easy to wear; the keycaps made of PBT are slightly more expensive, but its toughness High, not easy to oil, feel smoother than ABS; POM is also called "dark ice", high hardness, good feel, it is reasonable to choose POM keycaps, but its yield rate is low, it is not easy to make color And the price is the most expensive, so there are few options. Therefore, PBT keycaps are the best choice after combining economy, practicality and many other reasons.

When I first started working, I bought a domestic brand keyboard with high cost performance. It has PBT keycaps, 108 keys, and cherry red switches. The most important thing is that it only cost less than 200 oceans. In the past two years of working life, it has performed very stably, and has been working hard to stick to its post.

But after two years of use, the keycaps are inevitably oiled, and the Cherry red switches are still robust and powerful, but the keycaps are no longer as youthful as they used to be. This is also unavoidable. Although it is made of PBT, it does not know how to oil, but it is more durable than ABS.

So I thought about giving it a metamorphosis, replacing all its gray keycaps, and going on a trip to oil removal. In terms of keycaps, I chose the Lofree "Shipboard Panda" OEM height keycaps and the "Alice in Wonderland" OEM height keycaps.

The reason for choosing Lofree OEM high-height keycaps is very simple. The first is the high value of appearance, the second is that the product is very careful, and the third is that I personally agree with their Fun 2㎡ concept, and strive to create more in the 2㎡ space that belongs to " The joy of working as a worker. I have bought Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao and Lofree Luofei Xiaolang mechanical keyboards before, and I have always regretted that Lofree Luofei’s various keycaps cannot be used on other keyboards. This time, after Lofree Luofei has a large set of OEM PBT keycaps, I I started without hesitation.

The first set of keycaps: Shipboard Panda

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and keyboards naturally rely on keycaps. The theme of the Lofree OEM full set of keycaps is not a random choice. Xie Dahuan, the chief creative designer of Wenchuang, designed it on December 17, 2019. It combines the national treasure panda with pilots and aircraft carrier pilots, and then the cool and cute combat panda was born.

The workmanship of the Lofree OEM high-height set of keycaps is really great, the surface pattern is exquisite and three-dimensional, and the typesetting is careful; the PBT material is not easy to oil, which makes the Lofree OEM high-height keycaps have a longer service life. Lofree Luofei also provides a variety of themes to choose from. In addition to the above-mentioned "shipboard panda" and "Alice in Wonderland", there are also "community bananas", "street attitude" and "cute cats". It can be found in the "Building" applet.

You may not know that the Lofree OEM 131-key full set of PBT keycaps is produced by Lofree's own factory, not an OEM. The benefits of self-built factories are obvious - the production is more stable, the adjustment is more flexible, and the cost will naturally increase.

Whether there are dots around the keycap, whether there are burrs on the edge of the keycap, and whether the keycap pattern is complete are the criteria for me to judge whether a keycap is good or not. It can be seen from the picture that there is no problem with the keycap in the theme of Lofree's "shipboard panda". Delicacy and delicacy have always been the character of Lofree products. Lofree has built its own factory to produce keycaps. To ensure the quality of keycaps, it uses five-sided sublimation technology. Therefore, I believe that Lofree OEM has a complete set of PBT. The keycaps are absolutely top notch.

First replace the "shipboard panda". During the replacement of the keycaps, I cleaned up the dandruff and other sundries that fell between the shafts, so that the interior of the keyboard looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Lofree Lofree OEM Height 131 Keys The OEM height of the full set of PBT keycaps is slightly higher than the original keycaps, and there will be a certain height difference between the keycaps and the keycaps, making it easier to distinguish the keys. The full set of 131 keys means that it can adapt to almost 99% of the keyboards on the market, including but not limited to 61 keys, 68 keys, 100 keys, 104 keys, 106 keys...

In addition to the difference in size, two different card positions can be seen inside the space bar, the most commonly used keycap. To put it simply, the Lofree OEM 131-key full set of PBT keycaps is definitely enough for you and me. It is also a pleasure to change your favorite keycaps like wearing new clothes. To avoid confusion, remember to install them in order to save rework.

It can be seen that the surface of the Lofree OEM full set of PBT keycaps with a height of 131 keys has been frosted to a certain extent, and the feel is quite delicate when used. The patterns on the keycaps are not independent, there is a certain connection between each keycap, and the details are well handled.

Second set of keycaps: Alice in Wonderland

This set of themes is prepared for my partner. I installed it on a customized 61-key customized keyboard. You can just watch the animation when changing the keycaps.

I believe many people have read the fairy tale of Alice in Wonderland. The theme of "Alice in Wonderland" is inspired by this, dreamy fairyland and purple mystery. With this set of keycaps, the original black and red color keyboard becomes much cuter.

In order to adapt to most keyboards, Lofree OEM height 131-key large set of PBT keycaps not only provides basic keycaps, but also provides a variety of sizes for some keycaps that are prone to differences, such as the " Fn" and "shift" have different heights, and different sizes are available.

Lofree's Fun 2㎡ has always made me agree that it didn't let us escape and lie flat. Instead, I think of ways to make the limited office area happier, such as the previous Xiaolang and Xiaoqiao. Lofree OEM height 131 keys full set of PBT keycaps is Lofree's attempt in the field of OEM keycaps, and it also wants to pass Fun further, it will select the most popular themes on Xiaoqiao, and in the future It will continue to be updated to make more fun. I hope that Lofree OEM height 131 key full set of PBT keycaps can have the one you like, and I hope that you at work will be happy because of having Lofree.

Introductions And The Use Of A Gaming Keyboard

Ever since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the gaming industry has skyrocketed like never before. Online gaming competitions are experiencing a booming surge in popularity, captivating players around the globe. According to Statista, In 2022, there were around 1.75 billion mobile gamers worldwide.  If you are new to the gaming world, words like Anti-Ghosting and N-Key Rollover may seem peculiar to you, so how do you fit in? Fortunately, you have landed on an excellent article as we have compiled a perfect guide to help you choose the best gaming keyboard and the top 3 affordable gaming keyboards you can consider in 2023 to boost your gaming experience.

What Is The Best Feature Of A Gaming Keyboard?

You might have seen several keyboards and thought to yourself, what’s so different about them besides them being membrane or mechanical (more on that later)? Well, it is something that makes gaming keyboards “gaming” keyboards. You see, keyboards may suffer from ghosting – which is when only a few keys are registered at a time, instead of all. This would mean you might not be able to perfectly time your jump-slide combo or meteor-blast invokes, just because a few of your pressed keys didn’t register. This is one feature that makes gaming keyboards truly stand out and ensure you’re getting what you’re putting into gaming.

What Are The Conditions Of A High-Quality Gaming Keyboard?

1. Key Technology

 Let's look into two common types of switches most keyboards offer – mechanical and membrane. Gamers prefer to use mechanical keys considering their high durability and speed. Mechanical keyboards use individual mechanical switches for each key, providing tactile feedback and a satisfying click with each press, reducing the chance of accidental key presses. If you are into the habit of pressing your keys to death, we suggest you invest in mechanical gaming keyboards if you don't want a gaming ban imposed on you by your parents.

2. Anti-Ghosting and N-Key Rollover

 Ensure your keyboard has anti-ghosting features, as ghosting can immensely downgrade your gaming experience. Simply put, Anti-ghosting is a feature that prevents the keyboard from registering incorrect or missed inputs when multiple keys are pressed simultaneously. Standard keyboards offer a maximum 1 or 2 key rollover, which means if you press more than 2 switches at a time, it may end up registering wrong nearby keys that you may have slightly touched. N-Key Rollover (NKRO) takes things a step further by enabling each key to be pressed and registered independently, even if multiple keys are being pushed simultaneously. Games that call for intricate key combinations or quick key presses must consider this.

3. Keyboard Quality

Never dare to mess up with two people in your lives – your wife and a gamer. Both may end up throwing things at you. Rip to all those standard keyboards that became the victim of a gamer’s rage during their adrenaline-fueled gaming moments. Therefore, gaming keyboards are made to last and are very durable. Their metal backplates prevent breakage and bending, while high-quality ABS or PBT plastic encasing protects the switches and circuitry. Thanks to their oil-resistance feature, you can say no more to those tough oil stains you leave on your keyboards while munching.

4. Programmable Keys and Macros

You can link complex sequences of actions, custom commands, or macros to a single keypress using programmable or special macro keys. Games that involve repetitive tasks or call for the swift execution of numerous commands will benefit from this feature. Using programmable keys, you can streamline your gameplay and gain an advantage over opponents.

5. Backlighting and Customization 

Backlighting is a common feature of gaming keyboards, usually in RGB (Red-Green-Blue) lighting. You can create a visually appealing gaming setup by customizing the colors and effects of individual keys using RGB lighting. Immersion and atmosphere can be improved by having the option to personalize lighting profiles and synchronize them with other RGB peripherals or in-game events.

Why should you use a mechanical keyboard for gaming? 

There are several advantages to using a mechanical keyboard for gaming, Mechanical keyboards offer advantages such as durability, feedback and tactile feel, quick actuation, N-Key Rollover, and customizability, making them a preferred choice for many gamers.

1. Durability: Mechanical keyboards use individual mechanical switches for each key, making them more durable than traditional membrane keyboards. They can withstand more key presses and have a longer lifespan.

2. Feedback and tactile feel: Mechanical keyboards offer more noticeable feedback and tactile feel when pressed. This reduces accidental presses and increases your awareness of each key. This is especially important for games that require precise inputs, such as fast-paced shooter games.

3. Quick actuation: Compared to membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards have an earlier actuation point and require less force. This means you can trigger keys faster, improving your response time and gaming performance.

4. N-Key Rollover: Mechanical keyboards support N-Key Rollover, allowing multiple keys to be pressed simultaneously without losing any inputs. This is useful for games that require complex maneuvers and quick switching.

5. Customizability: Many mechanical keyboards come with programmable keys, allowing you to customize the function and macros for each key using keyboard software. This will enable you to personalize and optimize your keyboard settings according to your gaming needs.

How Do We Choose And Test The Best Gaming Keyboards?

Choosing the best gaming keyboards certainly comes down to personal preferences. For example, do you prefer mechanical or membrane keyboards? Keyboard size – full-size, tenkeyless (TKL), or compact – can also impact a user's personal choice of keyboards.

For our testing, we chose keyboards that have a durable design. As keyboards must withstand intense gaming sessions, they should have a sturdy build that can withstand their demanding task. Additionally, tactile feedback played an important role in us choosing a gaming keyboard. This is because, in gaming, split-second timing and responsiveness are critical. Tactical feedback allows for a better sense of the moment a key-press actuates – which is crucial for executing precise movements and abilities with the perfect combos.
