We tried: A4Tech keyboards, desktops
Keyboards and mice are the parts of our machine that we use the most, the ones we touch the most, are right in front of our noses, many times we don’t even pay as much attention to them as they deserve.
Most people, when they buy a machine, just choose a keyboard and mouse as an adjunct to it, though let’s face it, one of the cornerstones of using our machine is what we type as we move the mouse pointer. This is also the case for people who work on the machine, like myself, and of course for those who use it for games and recreation. The only difference is that for content consumers, the mouse is more important, for content creators, the keyboard is more important.
Why is it so important to choose the right input tools? Everyone knows the word ugly ergonomics. What exactly does ergonomics mean? Most people think of the philosophy used to design comfortable work tools, even though ergonomics is a broader concept. Ergonomics means studying the relationship between the worker and his environment, shaping it so that as little energy as possible has to be invested to do the job.
So ergonomics means choosing the keyboard, the mouse, but also the right temperature or light, but it also deals with us, the people, as it doesn't matter what posture we are most comfortable with.
The input devices used for computers have not changed much in recent decades. Keys and mice basically know the same thing as they did 10 or 20 years ago. However, the technology used has changed, and if they are lucky, they also pay attention to the design of the devices, according to the rules of ergonomics.
When can we call input devices ergonomic? Simply put, when they are at hand. In other words, our hands do not get tired or only for a long time during use, our joints do not become inflamed from the mouse. These are important things, they determine our well-being, they affect our health, but also the quality of our work.
In this article, we will try two desktops, i.e. a mouse keyboard pair, and a keyboard. I’m not going to look at the products from the perspective of the players, but from the perspective of the people who do the work, which won’t be difficult as I’m writing an article here, this is what you’re reading. I will be flipping through the current page of the article with the keyboard that the page is about, so I hope I can report on the experience quite tangible. Let's start with him!
