Metal keyboard more and more widely appear in people’s perspective, like other electronic equipment, that as a user usually how to maintain it, the following introduces several common maintenance methods of metal keyboard.
- Do not use violence
In normal use, the keys of the metal keyboard can withstand hundreds of thousands of times of press, each key of the metal keyboard is installed with a spring, when the user clicks the keyboard input information is completed, the spring will automatically return to normal. If the key is squeezed by a strong external force, the spring inside will be deformed, and over time it will lose its elastic effect, and the key may also suffer damage, as long as one of the keys is damaged, the entire metal keyboard will be scrapped. Therefore, the terminal using the metal keyboard should be affixed with a warning that does not need to be pressed strongly, in order to achieve the effect of reducing losses for businesses.
- do not plug power
Metal keyboard common USB and PS/2 interface, only USB interface support hot swap, so in the metal keyboard installation process, must be in the shutdown state of the PS/2 interface connected, otherwise it may cause damage to the metal keyboard, or let the motherboard’s PS/2 interface is burned. A metal keyboard with a USB interface can be plugged in and out when powered on.
- Put an end to bad environment
Now the metal keyboard has a certain waterproof function, even if the water directly soaked in the surface of the keyboard will not cause damage to the metal keyboard inside, but if the water contact the metal keyboard for a long time, the water stain will stick to the surface affecting the appearance of the two wet environment will corrode the metal keyboard internal circuit, affect performance, or even damage the metal keyboard! Therefore, we should try to ensure that the metal keyboard environment is good, and do a good habit of daily cleaning.
4.Regular cleaning and maintenance
Daily cleaning
Use a soft cloth, a dedicated keyboard cleaning brush, or a hand-held portable vacuum cleaner to clean. Avoid using wet cloths or chemical cleaners that may damage the board and shaft of the keyboard. In addition, developing the habit of covering the dust cover after each use can effectively reduce dust accumulation and extend the service life of the keyboard.
- Accidental splash treatment
- In case of accidental splashing, power off immediately and dry the keyboard upside down to prevent circuit damage.
6.Improve the use environment
The cleaning and drying of the metal keyboard environment has a great impact on its life. In a high humidity and dusty environment, the metal parts in the keyboard are prone to oxidation, resulting in poor contact and affecting the service life. Therefore, choose a dry, clean environment and avoid using the keyboard while drinking water or eating food to reduce the risk of keyboard damage. In addition, some higher precision mold design and dust structure, such as the application of advanced technology such as Kaihua Box shaft and optical shaft, can further reduce the impact of dust and moisture, and extend the life of the shaft body mechanically.
Scientific and rational use
7.Avoid excessive shock
When using a metal keyboard, excessive or improper impact should be avoided as far as possible, because a large force on the keyboard may cause the spring on the key to deform, thereby losing elasticity, damaging the keyboard keys, and shortening the life of the keyboard
- Timely maintenance and replacement
Even after careful maintenance, metal keyboards will inevitably fail when used for a long time. For the case of key failure, it can be repaired by replacing the shaft body. After opening the keyboard, use the electric soldering iron to remove the faulty shaft body, clean the contacts, and then install the new shaft body to resume normal use. In addition, most of the metal keyboard accessories can be purchased separately, if the main control chip of the keyboard is damaged, you can choose to replace the circuit board, while some keyboard brands and businesses that support DIY assembly also provide customized assembly services, users can customize their own keyboard according to needs, to further improve the life and personalization of the keyboard.
