Mechanical keyboard: operating principle and advantages
Every year the manufacturers of computer technology amaze us with new ingenious inventions. But advanced users are few - they are waiting for the emergence of virtual reality and the invention of cyber-gloves. Whatever it was, but still the devices are constantly being improved, and using them becomes more convenient and easier. Take at least a keyboard - the device that we use every day, both at work and at home. Manufacturers are working to improve it, and today have already been quite successful in this area.
The keyboard is a set of lever-keys arranged in a certain order. It serves to control various mechanisms. Now almost universally used membrane keyboards, even the most expensive design or gaming "clavs" belong to this type. According to the technology of use, they resemble a TV remote control.
The mechanical keyboard allows you to feel a noticeable difference compared to the membrane one. Having worked on it, hardly anyone will want to return to the rubber dome devices. The mechanics work very quickly and clearly, but the rubber reacts vaguely and indistinctly. The life of mechanical keyboards is relatively longer, and the keys work equally well all the time, which can not be said about the membrane device.
When used for a long time, rubber domes start to wear out, each individual button reacts differently, some can "fall". The mechanical keyboard provides up to 50-100 million keystrokes per key, so you can not be afraid that the buttons will "sag" or even "fall". For those who print a lot - this is an ideal option. However, some gamers may be unhappy with this keyboard, because the trigger point is below the point of contact loss. The trigger will occur immediately when you press the key, and the loss of contact will occur only when it fully rises back. If the games often need to click on the same button, then this can cause some inconvenience.
