The improvement of the quality of life has led to the emergence of a large number of “new” things. Even the keyboards closely related to our daily work and entertainment have also derived many thin film keyboards, mechanical keyboards and customized keyboards from the early typewriter keyboards. Not only that, keyboard manufacturers also launched 104 keys, 96 keys, 87 keys, 68 keys and even 40 keys for different typing groups, which is commonly known as XX keyboards.
In the standard term, “arrangement” refers to the key assembly sequence of the keyboard, that is, the number of keys on the keyboard, the layout design of key positions and the achievable key function operation. It is a division method of the keyboard. Popular understanding, for example, the so-called 100% keyboards are, strictly speaking, commonly known as 104-key keyboards. These keyboards usually include the main key area, the function key area, the edit key area, and the number key area to achieve the operation experience for different purposes. In contrast, 80%, 60% and 40% of the keyboards have removed some functions to remove key positions, and the keyboards have become more compact and compact, so as to meet the typing needs of users in certain specific scenarios or features. So the question is, in general, what kind of keyboard are you most familiar with?

Before answering the questions, let us introduce in detail which key position keyboards are included in the listed keyboards.

100% keyboard
The 100% listed keyboard strictly refers to the 104 full-size keyboard, and in the subsequent development, such as the 100 key position, 98 key position and 96 key position keyboard have also been derived. Compared with the 104 full-size keyboard, the above key position keyboard has less functional keys, and has made corresponding reduction in the size of the keyboard. However, in general, there is no special difference in the appearance, which is more suitable for novice users to choose.

80% keyboard
The 80% array keyboard usually refers to 84 keys and 87 keys, which are not suitable for professional users such as accounting, because the biggest difference between the 80% array keyboard and the full-size keyboard is that the 80% array keyboard lacks the number keyboard area, which is not very friendly to users who are accustomed to using the number keyboard for input.

60% keyboard
60% of the keyboards with rows are actually the rising star in recent years. Compared with 80% of the keyboards with rows, the F function area and even the direction keys are abandoned. Because of the fewer keys, some functions need to be realized by combination of keys. If you are new or unfamiliar with the keyboard, use it with caution!

40% keyboard
This type of keyboard is very rare in the market, because it is a relatively fast-paced era. If the keyboard does not have the F function area and direction key, or even the number key area, other functions except pure typing are additionally set to achieve more efficiency, which is difficult to achieve. Therefore, if you are not a loyal fan of customized keyboard+keypad users, 40% of the keyboards can hardly be seen.

How To Choose the Most Suitable Keyboard?

The desktop is crowded, and users like to go out and carry: chief player MK680
For most people, not all the function keys on the full-size keyboard can be used. On the contrary, the large space area of the full-size keyboard has become a major problem in the overall desktop space. If you pursue the minimalist style and have high requirements for the typing experience, you may try MK680, the chief player I am using.

Speaking of the appearance design first, the chief player MK680 can say that the minimalist style has been brought into full play. It is very suitable for the choice of small fresh users in combination with the naming method of the chief player’s literature and art. For users who like to travel outdoors with a keyboard, the lead player MK680 also has a wireless the third mock examination switching function, which supports the use of multiple platforms such as windows, Mac, IOS, Android, and can meet the experience needs of users with different devices. In terms of typing experience, the mechanical keyboard, which focuses on the attributes of e-sports, adopts the yellow axis of the Gataron Pro, supports the hot-plug design, and is hard according to the pressure, but is very suitable for leisure entertainment and playing games.

The desktop space is limited, so consider starting with a small array of novices: Daryou A84
Compared with 60% keyboards, if you have the same lack of desktop space and are willing to try small keyboards, I suggest starting with 80% keyboards, because 80% keyboards are the mainstream trend on the market at present, and major manufacturers have launched a number of options that meet user’s operating habits and have a very good keying experience, such as the Daryou A84. In the selection of axis body, Daryou A84 also selected the highly acclaimed TTC axis. If you often type and need efficient office learning, the key range 2.0mm flaming red axis is definitely a good choice. The keyboard also supports the third mock examination connection, and is equipped with silencing cotton, which is comfortable to handle.

Accounting users, do not like complex combination keys: ikbc C87C104
