FAQ

What is an office keyboard?

An office keyboard is a type of keyboard designed for everyday office tasks such as typing, data entry, and general computer use. These keyboards are typically more comfortable and efficient for long periods of use.

Are ergonomic keyboards better for office work?

Ergonomic keyboards are designed to reduce strain on your hands, wrists, and arms by promoting a more natural typing posture. They can be especially beneficial for individuals who spend long hours typing and want to reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries.

What is the difference between a mechanical and a membrane keyboard?

Mechanical keyboards use individual switches for each key, providing tactile feedback and durability, while membrane keyboards use a pressure pad system, making them quieter and more affordable but less durable.

Should I choose a wired or wireless office keyboard?

Wired keyboards offer a direct connection with no risk of interference and are typically more reliable. Wireless keyboards, on the other hand, offer more flexibility and a cleaner, clutter-free workspace, but may need battery replacements or charging.
