As one of the most important peripherals, mechanical keyboards have always been a powerful tool in the hands of players. Due to the influence of the e-sports boom, the popularity of mechanical keyboards remains high. Many gamers and non-game players have their own mechanical keyboards.

Theoretically, a mechanical keyboard can indeed be used for ten years or even longer, but this is when we use it normally and care for the keyboard. If we meet players who do not care about the keyboard, no matter how good the keyboard is, it may not escape the fate of "living to a near future". Therefore, when using mechanical keyboards, you must pay attention to daily use and try to avoid unnecessary damage to the keyboard, which is not worth the loss. Next, let’s talk about the precautions for maintaining mechanical keyboards.

1 and mechanical keyboards are not waterproof

In electronic devices, where there is a PCB, the structure of the mechanical keyboard is composed of the entire PCB panel, the shaft body and keycap, so it is naturally not waterproof. In daily life, you should avoid placing drinks and cups next to the keyboard to avoid accidentally touching the tragedy of liquid entering the keyboard. If the drink enters the keyboard shaft, after drying, the sugar in it will hinder the shaft, resulting in the inability to rebound normally when the key is pressed. If you enter the sugar-free mineral water or cool-off, you should immediately cut off the keyboard power and unplug the key cap to let the moisture dry. You can use the hair dryer's cold air mode to air dry the keyboard, and wait for a few days before you can use it normally.

2 and avoid eating in front of the keyboard

Due to its structure, the keyboard is prone to dust and residues entering between keys and the gap between the panels. Eating in front of the keyboard will inevitably lead to mistakes and residues remaining around the keyboard, and then enter between the keycaps and the panel. Over time, more and more residues will damage the keyboard, affect the feel of the keyboard, and even cause key stuck.

3, Pay attention to desktop hygiene

to ensure the cleanliness of the desktop, which is beneficial and harmless for the maintenance of the keyboard. If the desktop is messy and there is garbage, it is easy to attract all kinds of insects, including "Xiaoqiang". The gaps in mechanical keyboards are easily used as habitat by cockroaches. After entering the keyboard, they will settle down - excrete - reproduce. When the keyboard becomes a container for cockroach eggs, the internal components of the keyboard will also be destroyed, resulting in garbled codes, serial codes, and unrecognition.

4 and Avoid high temperature baking

Most of the key caps of mechanical keyboards are made of plastic, and some keyboard bodies are also made of plastic. Many friends like to use heaters or fans in winter to keep their hands warm. When the temperature is too high, the plastic material will deform a certain shape. Therefore, when there is a mechanical keyboard, we should try to avoid the temperature around the keyboard to avoid deformation of the keyboard and key cap.

A mechanical keyboard is not cheap, so doing a good job of maintaining the keyboard is to save money! Moreover, mechanical keyboards will undergo various tests before leaving the factory, and the quality can stand the consideration. You must take good care of your keyboard.
