Which keyboard interface to choose
The first step is to determine the interface. All modern keyboards are produced in two versions: with the interface PS and USB.PS-port is, to put it mildly, obsolete.
Even many modern motherboards do not have the ability to use this interface. Therefore, it is better to give your preference to a USB port. This type of connection is considered the newest and it is supported by all modern computers.
What is the shape of the
keyboard Another important aspect of choosing a keyboard is its shape. Quite often on the shelves of shops you can find a keyboard with a rectangular shape. With this form, the keyboard must necessarily be equipped with legs, which ensure the correct inclination of the keyboard, which is necessary for the correct setting of hands when printing. Keyboards of this form are very convenient.
Most often they have a standard layout, without additional buttons. Therefore, when you work for such an accessory, you will not need any accustoming. In case you already have experience with the keyboard. Many manufacturers equip standard keyboards with additional buttons, which, in fact, almost no one uses. However, quite often, the price for a similar product with additional buttons will be slightly exceeded.
So if your choice fell on a standard-form keyboard, it's best to buy one that does not have any extra buttons. There is also such a category of keyboards, as ergonomic. These models have a special design and different shapes. Use of such keyboards is very convenient, but to a greater extent they are suitable for people who have a quick input of information.
In case you are still a beginner, then choose a standard keyboard, after it, mastering the ergonomic will be much easier.
Quite often, ergonomic keyboards, equipped with a special palm rest. People who own a fast print pace, the use of this add-on will create some inconvenience. Because it is impossible to achieve high speed printing with fixed wrists. For beginners, the stand will be very useful.
Increasingly popular are the keyboards, which outwardly resemble those that are built into laptops. They are characterized by a special compactness and keys with a small stroke.
Best of all, this type of keyboard is suitable for people who are very accustomed to working on a laptop. To buy such an attribute, it will be reasonable, in case you are well acquainted with it. Because the skill of working on portable keyboards is slightly different from the skills of working on classic models.
Than the multimedia keyboards
are good. These models are literally covered with various additional buttons. In form, multimedia keyboards are both standard and ergonomic.
Most often, for the full operation of such devices, you need to install special drivers. Buttons that are located on such a keyboard are most often rendered beyond its natural fields and serve to control some functions of the operating system.
For example, by pressing the button you can start playing or the browser, and also use the keys to change the melody or pages in the browser. Quite often, all the additional buttons are programmed, so the functions that they will perform can be reassigned.
Wireless keyboards - advantages and disadvantages
Wireless keyboards, can be multimedia, as well as standard or ergonomic in form. Most often, modern models use a wireless Bluetooth interface to connect to a computer. A special receiver is also required for communication, which is most often connected via a USB port.
To work on this accessory, you do not need any wires, which, of course, is its undoubted advantage. The disadvantages of such a device can be attributed, the need for additional power.
For this you need to use a battery or several finger batteries. Another disadvantage of these keyboards is the relatively high price. Spending an equal amount, you can buy a traditional, wired keyboard, with much more advanced functionality.
Almost all modern keyboards have a membrane construction. However, despite this, the loudness of the click is different for everyone, so when selecting, pay attention to this point.
