Computer keyboards
Computer keyboards differ in the way they are connected - whether they have a cable or are wireless. Mechanical keyboards can be divided into several categories, according to the design they have. Therefore, there are standard, mini keyboards, ergonomic, gaming and slim keyboards. Some keyboards have LED backlighting, which makes them very convenient for use in dark and dim rooms.
Interesting offers are keyboards with a touchpad, which allow you to use a mouse function, as well as ergonomic keyboards, suitable for people who spend a lot of time in front of the monitor every day. Recently, both holographic keyboards and rubber ones have become widespread on the market. They are suitable for people who are on the go and looking for flexibility.
What do we need to know when choosing a keyboard?
Wired or wireless – The advantages of a wired keyboard are that they are cheaper than wireless ones and do not require batteries, on the other hand, the cable often gets in the way and limits you, as you have to stand closer to the computer.
Backlight – If you plan to use the keyboard in the dark, the right choice is for it to have an LED backlight.
If you spend long hours on the keyboard, the best choice will be an ergonomic keyboard, as it will limit the pain that occurs in the hands.
If the keyboard you liked has a connection method that does not match your computer, do not give up, but get a USB adapter.
Before purchasing the keyboard you like, check whether the software it comes with is compatible with your computer's operating system.
What purposes will you use the keyboard for - if you often need to enter numerical values, the most appropriate solution would be to purchase a keyboard with a Numpad. Separate numeric keypads are available, convenient for working at the cash register.
