To talk about DIY peripherals, the Taipei Computer Show is definitely one of the biggest ones. Recall that our keyboard and mouse have changed ten years ago. At that time, due to the popularity of wireless signal transmission technology, our keyboard and mouse were At that time experienced a round of wireless keyboard and mouse changes.
After ten years, what are the major changes to our keyboard and mouse? What will become of our keyboard and mouse in the future? What will become the new opportunity for future changes in the mouse and keyboard?
Keyboard
Keyboard is good at playing lights
Nowadays, manufacturers are playing more and more lights, and lighting effects are getting better and better. The name of Razer Light Factory is being shaken by others. The impact is deeper except for the Cherry MX 8.0 RGB version. Set Kingston HyperX peripherals in the industry.
As soon as Kingston had just entered the peripherals industry, it was able to give this HyperX Alloy Elite RGB mechanical keyboard out of the box with the lighting effect alone.
The highlight of the keyboard lies in the design of the upper light bar. The light bar at the top of the keyboard echoes with the light of the key cap and isolates the keyboard key area and the multimedia area from the visual effect.
As if an external device in front of the keyboard was adsorbed on the keyboard, it increased the layering of the design of the entire keyboard and had to admire the current manufacturers playing more and more lights.
In fact, whether it is a general membrane keyboard or a mechanical keyboard, there are more and more efforts in playing lights.
Thin and light is the future of mechanical keyboards?
In terms of axis, domestic manufacturers have launched in recent years Optical axis, optical axis, BOX axis, thin axis, etc..
CHERRY showcased the latest developments at this year's CES 2018 show Thin and light RGB shaft - low shaft , At the time of the CES 2018 show, it was thought that this axis body was simply a thin shaft.
Until today's Taipei Computer Show, and CHERRY learned that in fact, this axis and the general thin axis is still very different.
Our ordinary thin shaft, while thinning, also shortens the key path, which has always had a certain influence on the general axis.
At COMPUTEX 2018, CHERRY exhibited a short axis (bright and thin RGB axis body) and a sample product using a new shaft body. It seems that the new shaft body has been in production.
Short-axis characteristics It's a touch to the red axis, and there is almost no paragraph feeling, but the keystroke will not be shortened. It's a little mute effect. It is reported that CHERRY has a new product launch after the Taipei Computer Show. It is very likely that the new axis product will be released at the new product launching conference and you can continue to look forward to it.
After all, our mechanical keyboard has experienced so many years of development, from birth to failure to prosperity, experience rebirth, experience of confrontation with membrane keyboards, and now we are entering hundreds of flowers, we have more options as consumers.
However, it seems that the light and thin feature is that we have been pursuing. How to balance the feeling and lightness is actually a problem facing the manufacturers.

The mouse is getting more and more value
In fact, as far as we are concerned, the overall performance of the mid-to-high-end mouse is excessive. Last year's mouse is really lackluster.
Basically, there is nothing more outstanding innovation point to say, but rather do more and more good-looking lights, peripherals are more and more dependent on the value of food to eat. But last year there is still a thing called change, that is, only the mouse Wireless charging/powering appeared.
Mouse Revolution: True Wireless Mouse Appeared
The emergence of the Logitech G903 and the accompanying wireless charging board has laid the groundwork for peripheral manufacturers to fully deploy wireless products.
In fact, before the G903, the Corsair announced a Concept Zeus concept mouse, which was wirelessly charged through the Qi standard. Unfortunately, when it was unable to launch actual products, it was seized by the subsequent G903.
Until this year, the Corsair officially released its own wireless charging kit. The emergence of wireless charging solved many players' dreams of not wanting to plug in the line and wanting the mouse to continue powering. The focus is on high-end, high-performance peripherals. Peripheral manufacturers' technical strength.
Immediately after 2018, Razer also introduced the Mamba ultra-pole version of the Cobra Kit, which is also wireless, but the Razer uses a wireless power supply. There is no battery inside the Mamba ultra-polar version, so the overall weight Extremely light, the mouse gets power support on the mouse pad.
Using a mouse pad as a wireless charging/powering medium is actually a very good choice. The mouse pad is an indispensable accessory for the desktop. Placing the power transmission coil on the mouse pad is indeed a good choice and is always better than on the desktop. It's much better to put a wireless charging board like a mobile phone.
It is better to place a fixed wireless charging module than in the entire desktop. Don't worry about the equipment movement and maintenance replacement.
to sum up
At this Taipei Computer Show 2018 (Conmputex 2018), we noticed that unknowingly, in the past, silly PC electronic products had greatly changed and improved in terms of facial expression value. This time, the Taipei Computer Show was It is a great opportunity to show the changes of PC products. Even many of them have girls' friends and they like it very much.
In fact, this is a description of the current development direction of the PC industry. Our electronics manufacturers have made great efforts in digging the female market in terms of product appearance and color value design.
Looking into the future of mouse and keyboard peripherals, I think there are four key words to note: Wireless mobile girls value.
The mouse and keyboard peripherals still need to continue to penetrate into the wireless field. Whether it is wireless charging or wireless communication of devices, wireless charging continues to penetrate into mid- to low-end products. If wireless communication is used, multi-mode communication is possible as much as possible. Beginning to reduce sharply, external equipment can account for one less.
Mobile is a mobile peripheral. As the performance of mobile devices such as mobile phones becomes stronger, mobile devices can carry more and more functions, and game performance becomes stronger. Developing peripheral devices for mobile devices will be a piece of technology. Not bad market growth point.
For girls, many of our previous peripherals were based on male players, and there were few peripherals for female players. At the same time, the fourth keyword value was also involved. Nowadays, peripherals, girls’ purchasing power and purchasing desires Gradually increase, and the value of face value will be one of the main factors affecting the purchase of girls.
