Which keyboard to choose for streaming
Many streamers, before starting their careers, carefully prepare for the launch of their first stream. They carefully choose each element of the future ether, considering it to be almost the most important event in life. They can be understood. Therefore, let's talk about how to choose a keyboard for streaming.
What to look for when choosing a keyboard for streaming
Decide for yourself when you will stream your streams. If at night or in the evening - noiselessness is a prerequisite. And the rest of the time - nothing more than pure taste of the streamer. Many are annoyed by the excessive noise during the stream. The Razer Cynosa Chroma is a quiet option. Among its advantages are noiseless control, as well as ease of control, the ability to program certain keys for certain actions.
Backlight - to be or not to be?
Typically, backlit keyboards are marketed as gaming keyboards. If possible, ask your friend to share a keyboard that has a backlight. Try using it for a few days. This is the only way to make the right decision whether the backlight is right or not for you. It is worth noting that the backlit keyboard is appropriate in complete darkness (for example, you decide to stream from a dark room), it makes sense to buy a backlit manipulator.
Membrane or mechanical keyboard
Rumor has it that a mechanical keyboard is more durable than a membrane keyboard. The membrane can boast of special noiselessness. During operation, the mechanical one will emit a loud chirp, as if at least a hundred typewriters were working. This will be quite annoying at night. And in the daytime there is little pleasant.
Availability of additional keys
Go to a regular store, study the assortment. Consider keyboards and decide if you need additional keys. Most likely, they will only interfere. And you can easily press them completely by accident, which will entail unpleasant consequences - for example, you can accidentally close the stream. This can make viewers angry. The additional keys, although they make the use more convenient, faster, nevertheless, they significantly increase the size of the keyboard. Many streamers work in semi-darkness. There is a risk of pressing that very button.
In other words, before finding the very keyboard, you will have to try a large number of different kinds of assistants. It takes time. Therefore, do not rush and experiment.
