Industrial metal keyboard because of its relatively complex working environment, so the maintenance have higher requirements, the following is the specific maintenance and maintenance methods:
Daily cleaning
- Surface cleaning: Gently wipe the keyboard surface with a soft damp cloth to remove dust and stains. However, ensure that the cloth is not too wet to prevent moisture from entering the keyboard and causing short circuit. For stubborn stains, you can use a small amount of neutral detergent, but to avoid detergent residue on the keyboard.
- Slot cleaning:Dust and debris are easy to accumulate in the crevices of the keyboard. You can use air blowing, toothpick or dedicated keyboard cleaning brush to clean the dust and debris in the crevices of the keys. For stains that are difficult to clean, you can use an alcohol cotton ball to gently wipe, but pay attention to the amount of alcohol to prevent too much alcohol from seeping into the inside of the keyboard.
- Clean key caps:Remove the key caps from the keyboard and gently brush them with a soft brush to remove dust and dirt. If the key cap is dirty, it can be soaked in warm water, add an appropriate amount of neutral detergent, gently stir and rinse with water, and then dry.
Use environment
- Avoid humidity: Industrial metal keyboards are sensitive to humidity and should be avoided in humid environments. If the keyboard is accidentally stained with water, it should be wiped immediately with a clean cloth and placed in a ventilated place to dry, to avoid long-term moisture residual resulting in rust or short circuit inside the keyboard.
- Avoid high temperature:Store the keyboard in a ventilated, dry environment to avoid high temperature damage to the keyboard. High temperatures may cause problems such as deformation of the plastic parts of the keyboard and damage to electronic components. At the same time, avoid placing the keyboard in direct sunlight to prevent the surface of the keyboard from fading.
- Avoid dust and debris:there may be a lot of dust and debris in the industrial environment, which is easy to enter the keyboard and affect the normal use of the keyboard. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the use of the environment clean, clean the computer desk regularly, and avoid impurities such as dust and hair into the keyboard gap. You can use a keyboard protective film or dust cover to reduce the intrusion of dust and debris.
Key maintenance
- Gentle keys:The design of industrial metal keyboard keys is more complex, gentle keys can reduce key wear and extend the life of the keyboard. Avoid violent tapping on the keyboard to avoid damage to the key or loosening of the internal structure.
- Periodically check keys: Periodically check whether the keyboard keys are flexible. If there are jammed keys or malfunctions, deal with them in time. Try tapping the keys gently or using a special cleaner to clean the inside of the keys. If the problem persists, the keys may need to be replaced or more in-depth repairs made.
Scheduled maintenance
- Check the keyboard: Periodically check whether the keyboard is securely connected and whether the wires are damaged. At the same time, check whether the keys, springs, circuit boards and other components of the keyboard are normal. If there is an anomaly, handle it in time.
- Replace worn parts: Components such as key caps and washers of the keyboard may be worn due to long-term use. Choose good quality and suitable accessories to ensure the performance and service life of the keyboard.
- Update the driver: Periodically update the keyboard driver to ensure stable keyboard performance. Driver updates can fix some known issues and improve keyboard compatibility and stability.
Other notes
- Avoid abuse: Avoid using non-original key caps, frequent replacement of key caps, and use of poor quality cleaners. These behaviors may affect keyboard performance or cause keyboard damage. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid unnecessary operations on the keyboard, such as eating, drinking drinks, smoking, etc., so as to avoid debris, liquids, etc., into the keyboard.
- Protection against static electricity and electromagnetic interference: Industrial environments may contain static electricity and electromagnetic interference, which may affect precision components such as the circuit board of the keyboard. You can take some anti-static and electromagnetic interference measures, such as using an anti-static bracelet and grounding.
