Mechanical keyboards (or mechanical-switch keyboards) are computer keyboards which have an individual switch for each key. The following table is a compilation list of mechanical keyboard models, brands, and series:
A keyboard matrix circuit is a design used in most electronic musical keyboards and computer keyboards in which the key switches are connected by a grid of wires, similar to a diode matrix. For example, 16 wires arranged in 8 rows and 8 columns can connect 64 keys—sufficient for a full five octaves of range (61 notes).
Unicomp Model M with removed z key. The exposed buckling spring is visible. A buckling spring is a type of keyswitch mechanism, popularized by IBM's keyboards for the PC, PC/AT, 5250/3270 terminals, PS/2, and other systems. It was used by IBM's Model F keyboards (for instance the AT keyboard), and the more common Model M.
A keyswitch is a type of small switch used for keys on keyboards. Key switch is also used to describe a switch operated by a key, usually used in burglar alarm circuits. A car ignition is also a switch of this type.
A key switch (sometimes called a keyswitch or lock switch) is a key-operated switch. [1] Key switches are used in situations where access to the switch's functions needs to be restricted. [2] [3] Key switches are available as components with solder connections, and are available with a variety of ampere ratings. They may use tubular or other ...
Also called an Enumerated KVM switch or USB switch selector, a connected/shared USB device must go through the full initiation process (USB enumeration) every time the KVM is switched to another target system/port. The switching to different ports is similar to the process of physically plugging and unplugging a USB device into the targeted system.
Switches can be designed to respond to any type of mechanical stimulus: for example, vibration (the trembler switch), tilt, air pressure, fluid level (a float switch), the turning of a key , linear or rotary movement (a limit switch or microswitch), or presence of a magnetic field (the reed switch). Many switches are operated automatically by ...
