Nowadays, mechanical keyboards are the most commonly used peripherals for e-sports enthusiasts. However, due to the large number of fake ones in the market, many consumers have bought them. Therefore, before purchasing a mechanical keyboard, we should know how to distinguish its authenticity.
Firstly, we can distinguish the authenticity of the mechanical keyboard from its appearance. The regular mechanical keyboard shell is made of aluminum alloy, with a smooth surface and exquisite appearance. It feels heavy when held in the hand, while the fake one is made of plastic, which is light and thin and looks rough when held in the hand.
Secondly, we can distinguish the authenticity of mechanical keyboards from the keycap material. The keycap material of regular mechanical keyboards is PBT, which has a delicate touch and micro grooves, and high wear resistance. The keycap material of fake goods is ABS, which is smooth and lacks touch, and the wear resistance is ordinary.
Again, we can distinguish the authenticity of mechanical keyboards from the feedback of the keys. The regular mechanical keyboards have a quick feedback when pressed and a crisp feedback when lifted, which feels full. The fake keyboards have a slow feedback when pressed and a dull feedback when lifted, which feels powerless.
Finally, we can identify the authenticity of the mechanical keyboard from the price. The regular mechanical keyboard will not be particularly low in price, after all, it adopts advanced materials. The price of fake goods is usually much lower than that of regular mechanical keyboards, which is also an important criterion for identification.
Above is the introduction about how to tell the difference between authentic and fake mechanical keyboards. Before buying a mechanical keyboard, we should identify its authenticity according to the above methods in order to avoid losses caused by purchasing a fake. At the same time, when buying a mechanical keyboard, we should choose a regular brand to ensure that the product purchased is genuine.
