What are some important criteria when choosing to buy a mechanical keyboard?

Not only professional gamers but also office workers increasingly prefer silent keyboards over regular rubber keyboards. Here are some criteria to help you choose the right mechanical keyboard:

1. Switch

All parameters on mechanical keyboards such as pressure, sound, and typing feel are directly related to the switch. Currently, there are popular types of switches: Red Switch, Blue Switch, Brown Switch and Silent Switch. For office workers, priority should be given to choosing Blue switch, Brown switch or Silent switch because they are often designed with very light pressure and extremely smooth sound when typing.

2. Keyboard layout (Layout)

Depending on the job characteristics and space on the desk, choose the appropriate keyboard size. Normally keyboards are designed in three sizes: Full size, Tenkeyless and Mini size.

As a normal office worker whose nature of work does not require entering too much data, you should choose the Tenkeyless keyboard size . This is a type of keyboard without the numpad on the right, compact in size, simple and suitable for working needs. Or if your workspace is spacious, you can consider using a full-size keyboard with full functionality.

Most silent mechanical keyboards are equipped with LED lighting systems in two forms: monochrome LEDs and color-changing RGB LEDs . The light system can be turned on and off flexibly to meet all user needs. At the same time, this function is also very suitable for office workers to use anytime, anywhere as they like, including at night.

4. Connect

The silent keyboard is divided into two main connection methods: wireless and wired, via Bluetooth connection or Wireless 2.4 GHz connection. 

With Bluetooth connection, users can easily take the keyboard with them anywhere. At the same time, this design also helps keep the workspace neat and beautiful without the presence of connecting wires.
