Why do mechanical keyboards have different layouts?

Time：04-12-2023

Mechanical keyboards have different layouts to accommodate different usage habits, language input methods, and special requirements in different regions. Here are some specific reasons:

Language input method: Different countries and regions use different languages, and keyboards need corresponding characters to meet users' input needs. For example, Japanese people need special Japanese characters on the keyboard when typing in Japanese, while French users need characters with accent marks.

Usage habits: Usage habits may also differ between different regions. For example, some countries may use the numeric keypad more frequently, while in other countries, users may prefer more compact keyboards.

Ergonomics: The design of some keyboard layouts considers ergonomic principles, such as the ErgoDox layout. These keyboards can reduce wrist pain and other issues associated with long-term typing.

Historical reasons: The use of some keyboard layouts in specific countries or regions has been prevalent for a long time, and users have adapted to and enjoy using them.

In summary, choosing different mechanical keyboard layouts is mainly to adapt to users' needs and habits to improve input efficiency and comfort.
