Cyrillic colour
The colour of the Cyrillic letters printed on the keyboard.
This colour is usually chosen so that the letters are clearly visible. This point does not affect the functionality of the keyboard, and the choice in this case depends mainly on personal preferences. However, there is also a practical point: for inexperienced users who have not mastered touch typing, it is desirable that the letters stand out as much as possible against the background of the keys.
Transparent letters are a separate case — they are used in keyboards equipped with a backlight (see below), due to which such characters, when the backlight is on, are visible even in the dark.
Power source
The type of power used in wireless keyboards. It can be a replaceable battery or its own built-in battery.
As replaceable batteries in modern keyboards, batteries or accumulators of the
AA (“finger”) or
AAA (“mini-finger”) format can be used. The main advantage of this power supply is the ability to quickly replace dead batteries with new ones — if there are any left, a few seconds are enough, and the keyboard is ready to work again. However, batteries are often not included and must be purchased separately. In addition, anyway, you have to buy new batteries as the old ones wear out — or fork out for rather expensive batteries and, possibly, a charger.
Built-in battery, in turn, relieves the user of the need to purchase batteries. On the other hand, in the event of a discharge, such a battery cannot be quickly replaced, and the only option to continue working is to charge it, which can take quite a long time.
Waterproof
Protecting the keyboard from spilling liquid on it. Most
waterproof keyboards do not have a full-fledged sealed case and are designed to remain operational in the event of accidental contact with a relatively small amount of liquid (up to 200 mL) — for example, in the classic case of spilling coffee on the keyboard.
Power supply (wireless)
The type of power used in the wireless mice that are included with some keyboards. It can be a replaceable battery or its own built-in battery.
Batteries or accumulators of AA (finger-type) or AAA (mini-fingerprint) format can be used as replaceable batteries. The main advantage of this power supply is the ability to quickly replace dead batteries with new ones - if there are any left, a few seconds are enough, and the mouse is ready to work again.
