How to make a difficult keyboard become less difficult

Dragged on for a long time

As a soft dog (do not know what kind of soft dog can refer to this article), the landlord purchased an MBP at the end of the year, taking advantage of Jingdong's activities. Put it on the current point of view this is the former n-generation MBP.

Usually used at home, still like to connect a monitor, write code, look at the documentary. So an external keyboard is still very important. Although the system used by the landlord is still Windows (I have to say BootCamp is really easy to use), but occasionally it will be installed with macOS. So a keyboard that supports both systems is the standard for purchase. And due to the special nature of the macOS system, such wireless keyboards are mainly Bluetooth.

There are not many such keyboards, and there are a lot of them. If only the Logitech family has such keyboards, then many small peripheral manufacturers have such keyboards. In line with the principle of believing in the big factory, he bought the K480 of the Logitech family.

Forgot how much money was originally purchased, the impression is not a good price, but it also improvise. At the time of writing this paper, the keyboard has been reduced to about 159, which is a lot cheaper than it was originally. However, the landlord's use of such a long time, the lesson learned is that the keyboard 59 is not worth buying. The reason is that it feels bad. It's even worse than a twenty or thirty yuan miscellaneous brand wired keyboard.

To a real shot map (used for a long time, white and more dirty, this is after wiping, the first figure is to use this ps out):

The K480 uses so-called chocolate buttons. I read some of the site's evaluation articles, claiming that the secondary keyboard "button strength feedback is moderate," but according to the experience of the landlord to see the key of this keyboard is indeed too hard. Words that don't last long will feel sour.

Of course, in addition to the hand-feeling problem, this keyboard can not be useless. The Bluetooth connection of this keyboard is very stable, and the switching speed between the three Bluetooth bands is very fast.

However, the main problem encountered by the landlord is that under the Windows system, this keyboard will always slow down the strange "reaction". If you enter the pinyin of zhong guo, under normal circumstances, z is directly entered as a letter, and hong guo is listed as a candidate for spelling. Therefore, each time the keyboard is used, special force is exerted on each letter, but it is also inevitable that it is often mistakenly input (it is a psychological effect by itself), and the feeling of the keyboard is very hard, over time. Very annoying. (Especially when using some Html-based editing tools, it's more obvious that this aunt's home editor is in use now, but I can feel that my aunt's editor is still improving.)

So insisted on almost 1.5 years, on a certain day, suddenly thought of Windows control panel is to set the keyboard.

Double-click the Keyboard icon in the Control Panel

You need to see the keyboard directly when the viewing mode is Big/Small icon. Ps. I feel like the "category" view this control panel display mode destroys the habit of most Windows senior users. Of course, this may not be important, MS is determined to replace the control panel with UWP-based "settings." From several versions of Win10, it can be seen that more and more "settings" include the function of "control panel".

In addition to opening in the control panel, Win+R brings up the Run window and executes the control keyboard. It also opens the keyboard settings window.

The first time you open this tab, the keyboard settings are similar to the following:

At this time, the landlord has no concrete concept of the location of these "cursors". In order to verify whether this "character repetition" caused the problem, look at the company's computer settings for work:

It really is very different. On the same machine, comparing the two settings, the response of the button can be seen to be significantly different (the following two figures, pay attention to the speed of character input)

It can be seen that the input speed of the keyboard is obviously slow under the settings that are expected to come, which will result in some HTML-based text boxes (especially the text box with the added script event ps. as a coder that is not mainly front-end This expression may not be too accurate, but the truth is that this is the case. The event trigger triggers a conflict with the pinyin selection of the input method, resulting in a strange state of the input text.

After adjusting according to the above figure, it will be much better if you use words. There are also some articles suggesting that two sliders be directly moved to the right, so that the keyboard is in the most sensitive state (below).

But this setup has the disadvantage that if you accidentally press "Backspace" for a long time, you may have a large piece of text gone. If "undo" doesn't work, then you have a cup.

There is also a similar setting on the macOS keyboard, in System Preferences (mac's control panel):

Find the keyboard and enter, you can see these two settings with a slider, in effect very similar to Windows.

The main content of this article is basically completed. In order to make the content of the article more abundant, by the way recommend a screenshot software, the above diagram is from the software to be introduced below.

Before the landlord used a special interception of the software called LICEcap, which is a very small, but open source free gadgets. Just this time there is a need for screenshots, the landlord tried to find out if there is more powerful software. Then discovered this artifact - ShareX. Now the landlord has cleaned up all other screenshot tools on the computer.

The software is called ShareX. The link is shown below. The card cannot be inserted. The error is shown in the figure.

This gadget is also open source free. Download, installation does not need much to say. The first time you run, if you need to intercept the motion picture or video, you need to install ffmpeg encoder, follow the prompts to install and restart the software.

This small software design is extremely user-friendly and easy to use. For example, the window screenshot can select all running windows.


In addition to ordinary screen shots, scroll screen shots, etc. are also under the circumstances, the screen recording this function is estimated to also grab a lot of rice software billing software. Discover yourself.

In addition, there are many useful gadgets in the "Tools" of this software. With these you can clean up some similar small software on your computer.

The upload function is also not available in many screenshots. For blogging, this is a very convenient feature. The only pity is that most of them are foreign photo storage services, and visits in China are not very stable.

In short, as a free software, ImageX this gadget (even without a bit of embedded advertising) can definitely score full marks.

in conclusion

Changing the above settings does improve the keyboard's response.

But I still want to say that even if set up as above, the K480 can only be said to be barely usable, and there is still a huge gap from comfortable typing.
