Keyboards of The Verge

From the strictly utilitarian to the ergonomic to the obsessive, these are the keyboards we use every day.

从纯粹的实用主义到人体工程学，再到极致的痴迷，这些就是我们每天都在使用的键盘。

What is a keyboard if not the original brain-computer interface? You can tap on a touchscreen or talk to the computer, but if your work involves getting information out of your head and into the computer, you’re probably spending a lot of time using a keyboard.

如果说键盘是最初的脑机接口，那它又是什么呢？你可以点击触摸屏或与电脑对话，但如果你的工作涉及将大脑中的信息输入电脑，你可能大部分时间都在使用键盘。

We’ve written about many keyboards over the years, from the legendary Optimus Maximus to the ultra-luxe Seneca to even stranger fare. But I wanted to know what my coworkers actually use. As I’d hoped, there’s a wide range. Some of us are strictly utilitarian, optimizing for ergonomics or functionality. Others obsess over every detail of feel, sound, layout, and looks. Still others — maybe the most enlightened — just use whatever’s in front of them.

多年来，我们写过许多键盘，从传奇的 Optimus Maximus 到超豪华的 Seneca，甚至还有更奇怪的产品。但我很想知道我的同事们实际上在用什么。正如我所希望的那样，种类非常广泛。我们中的一些人是纯粹的实用主义者，追求人体工程学或功能性。另一些人则痴迷于手感、声音、布局和外观的每一个细节。还有一些人——也许是最开明的人——只是随手用着面前的任何东西。

NuPhy came up a lot. So did Keychron. The Apple Magic Keyboard has its stalwarts. The Kinesis Freestyle split is surprisingly well represented. And there are other, odder entries. These are the keyboards of The Verge.

NuPhy 被频繁提及，Keychron 也是如此。Apple Magic Keyboard 有其忠实拥趸。Kinesis Freestyle 分体式键盘的出现率高得惊人。此外还有其他更奇怪的型号。这些就是 The Verge 员工使用的键盘。

Jay Peters, senior reporter I currently use the Kinesis Freestyle Pro, and I’ve used it for so long that I’ve forgotten when I first got it. In the late 2010s, I had wrist pain that led me to try a lot of ergonomic keyboards so I could keep using computers. The Freestyle Pro — with its optional tenting add-ons that give the keyboard a significant angle and the palm rest accessories — just feels the best under my hands. If this keyboard broke, I’d buy another one the same day.

Jay Peters，高级记者 我目前使用的是 Kinesis Freestyle Pro，我已经用了太久，以至于忘记了最初是什么时候买的。2010 年代末，我的手腕疼痛，这促使我尝试了许多人体工程学键盘，以便能继续使用电脑。Freestyle Pro 配有可选的帐篷式支架，能让键盘呈现出明显的倾斜角度，再加上掌托配件，它在我手下的感觉是最好的。如果这个键盘坏了，我会当天就再买一个。

Kallie Plagge, senior copy editor For work, I use a simple Keychron K2. But for my gaming PC, I use the Logitech G713 wired mechanical keyboard — the one that comes with the cloud wrist rest. Did I mostly buy it for the wrist rest? Perhaps. But I do love the tenkeyless layout. My previous gaming keyboard had a number pad and two rows of programmable keys, which was cool, but I mostly used the number pad to type the alt code for em dashes. The G713, on the other hand, meets my gaming requirements without taking up half my desk.

Kallie Plagge，高级文案编辑 工作时，我用的是简单的 Keychron K2。但对于游戏电脑，我用的是罗技 G713 有线机械键盘——就是那种自带云朵掌托的键盘。我买它主要是为了掌托吗？也许吧。但我确实喜欢这种 87 键（无数字小键盘）布局。我之前的游戏键盘有数字小键盘和两排可编程按键，这很酷，但我大部分时间只是用数字小键盘来输入破折号的 Alt 代码。相比之下，G713 在满足我游戏需求的同时，又不会占用我半张桌子。

Danielle Steussy, product manager I’m using Apple’s Magic Keyboard with the numeric keypad. Some version of Apple’s keyboard has been on my desk for over 20 years, starting with the Apple A1048 that came with my first Mac in college. I loved that keyboard (the sound of my fingertips hitting the keys — swoon!) and I wore it down to the point of keys falling off. Since then, I’ve stuck with Apple’s wireless keyboards. Honestly, it’s a pretty keyboard, but otherwise unremarkable, and blends in with my desk setup (which also is kind of the point, right?).

Danielle Steussy，产品经理 我正在使用带有数字小键盘的 Apple Magic Keyboard。20 多年来，我的桌上一直放着某种版本的苹果键盘，最早可以追溯到我大学时第一台 Mac 附带的 Apple A1048。我非常喜欢那个键盘（指尖敲击按键的声音——令人陶醉！），我把它用到了按键脱落的地步。从那以后，我就一直坚持使用苹果的无线键盘。老实说，它是一款漂亮的键盘，但除此之外并无特别之处，而且能很好地融入我的桌面设置（这本身也是重点，对吧？）。

David Pierce, editor at large I really want to be a mechanical keyboard guy. I love typing on mechanical keyboards! I love the clackiness, the way they look on my desk, the huge personality upgrade that comes with them. But then I start typing notes during a call, and someone goes, “Sorry, what’s that noise in the background?” and I bail on my mechanical keyboard. I used Logitech’s MX Keys S for the last few years, and love that keyboard, but recently replaced it with an Apple Magic Keyboard (black keys, number pad) because I got tired of typing my 1Password password all the time. I bought a $200 keyboard for the Touch ID button. Ugh.

David Pierce，特约编辑 我真的很想成为一名机械键盘爱好者。我喜欢在机械键盘上打字！我喜欢那种清脆的敲击声，喜欢它们在桌上的样子，以及它们带来的巨大个性提升。但每当我通话时开始打笔记，就会有人问：“抱歉，背景里那是什么声音？”于是我就放弃了机械键盘。过去几年我一直用罗技的 MX Keys S，我很喜欢那款键盘，但最近换成了 Apple Magic Keyboard（黑色按键，带数字小键盘），因为我厌倦了总是输入 1Password 密码。我花 200 美元买个键盘就是为了那个 Touch ID 按钮。唉。

Jacob Kastrenakes, executive editor My keyboard is probably the single dumbest thing I have ever spent money on, but it brings me joy every time I look at it. The setup matches a Boop Redux case with the GMK Dots keycaps and Silent Bluish White (V2) switches. I didn’t so much want to get deep into the mechanical keyboard hobby as I wanted to have this exact keyboard after I saw images of the Dots keycaps on the (original) Boop case floating around in around 2022. It looks cool, right? (Right?)

Jacob Kastrenakes，执行编辑 我的键盘可能是我花钱买过的最愚蠢的东西，但每次看到它，我都会感到快乐。这套配置是 Boop Redux 外壳搭配 GMK Dots 键帽和 Silent Bluish White (V2) 轴体。我并不是想深入钻研机械键盘爱好，而是在 2022 年左右看到 Dots 键帽在（原版）Boop 外壳上的图片后，就一心想要拥有这把键盘。它看起来很酷，对吧？（对吧？）

Antonio G. Di Benedetto, laptop reviewer Since I review laptops and occasionally mechanical keyboards, I’m constantly changing what I type on. But one of my personal keyboards that remains close to my heart is my TM680 (aka the Gamakay LK67). It’s a cheap bare-bones 65-percent kit.

Antonio G. Di Benedetto，笔记本电脑评测员 由于我评测笔记本电脑，偶尔也评测机械键盘，所以我一直在更换打字设备。但我个人最钟爱的键盘之一是我的 TM680（又名 Gamakay LK67）。它是一款廉价的 65% 配列准系统套件。
