1.Differences Between Optical Switches and Mechanical Switches, and Advantages of Optical Switches Differences: Working Principle: Mechanical Switches: They rely on metal springs and contact points to sense key presses. When a key is pressed, the metal spring makes contact with the circuit, transmitting the signal. Optical Switches: These utilize optical sensors to detect key activation through infrared light beams. When a key is pressed, the light beam is interrupted, thereby transmitting the input signal. Durability: Mechanical Switches: Standard mechanical switches typically have a lifespan of around 50 million presses, while some high-end versions can last even longer. Optical Switches: Due to the absence of metal contact points, optical switches can achieve a lifespan of over 70 million presses, with certain models even reaching 100 million. Advantages of Optical Switches: Faster Response Time: Optical switches provide quicker input response, making them ideal for gaming as they can enhance reaction speed. Increased Durability: The design of optical switches minimizes wear and tear, enhancing their longevity. Immediate Feedback: Optical switches deliver instant signal feedback, which is crucial for applications needing rapid responses. Quieter Operation: Linear optical switches are almost silent during use, making them suitable for quiet environments like offices or libraries. 2. Distinction Between Linear and Tactile Optical Switches Linear Optical Switches: Characteristics: These switches feature a smooth keypress with no tactile feedback, creating a seamless pressing experience without any bump. Suitable For: Ideal for gamers due to their ability to provide rapid and continuous key inputs, as well as being quiet enough for use in quieter settings. Tactile Optical Switches: Characteristics: These switches include a distinct tactile bump in the middle of the keypress, allowing users to feel a change in the key's position, which may produce more noise. Suitable For: Perfect for typists or users who prefer the traditional mechanical keyboard feel and appreciate tactile feedback. Keyboard Features and Shortcuts: 1.Compatibility: Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10 operating systems. 2.Factory Reset: Reconnecting the USB cable (powering on) will restore the keyboard to its factory default settings (no memory retained). 3.Multimedia Functions: Fn + ESC: Reset the keyboard. Fn + F1: Open My Computer. Fn + F2: Initiate Search. Fn + F3: Open Calculator. Fn + F4: Multimedia control functions. Fn + Win: Lock/Unlock Windows key. 4.Gaming Backlight Modes: Fn + 1 (M1): LOL Mode (Illuminates specific keys: ESC, 1-7, Q-W-E-R-P-A-S-D-F, SPACE). Fn + 2 (M2): FPS Mode (Illuminates W, A, S, D, LSHIFT, LCTRL, SPACE). Fn + 3 (M3): 8-Key Mode (Illuminates W, A, S, D, and the arrow keys). Fn + 4 (M4): 33-Key Mode (Illuminates keys Q through Z based on the pressed keys). Fn + 5 (M5): Overwatch Mode (Illuminates
