The keyboard is the main device in carrying out activities using a computer. From getting work done to playing your favorite games. However, gaming keyboards and regular or regular computer keyboards have their own differences. There are many things that are the basic differences between the two. However, what is quite striking includes the five things below.
1. Gaming Keyboard Using Mechanical Type
Almost all keyboards used for gaming use the mechanical type. Namely on the button usually has a special pad called a switch. This device makes the typing experience better and more stable when used. While the regular keyboard still uses a membrane type that is not mechanically responsive. Indeed, when typing the mechanical keyboard keys create a fairly loud sound when pressed. However, when you press it it is very comfortable and
2. Fast Response Keyboard
Regarding the level of responsiveness, keyboards designed for gaming activities are indeed superior to ordinary computer keyboards. With mechanical technology as described in the previous point, this keyboard is able to reduce the level of latency and responsiveness in 15-25 milliseconds. Compared to a regular computer keyboard has a responsive rate of 30 milliseconds. Although this difference is only a few milliseconds, the keyboard for gaming is superior.
