Have you ever considered a glossary or guide on your site to help people decipher all the terms you use to differentiate your models?
Or are people who don't already now everything not in your target market?
You're viewing a single thread.
What terms are you unclear on?
I will agree that keychron has a problem of too many similar models, but it’s not really a terminology problem.
@Hawke Well, let's start with every (admittedly plentiful) parametric option on https://www.keychron.com/collections/all-products and explain the relative merits of each choice.
Some of them are fairly obvious, some of them I'll bet are quite nuanced is far from obvious ways.
I don’t know that “relative merits” exist. They’re basically all personal preference.
Low profile keys are shorter than normal; some people like that
ANSI keyboards have a wide straight enter key with backslash above it. ISO has an L-shaped enter key with the backlash taking up half the backspace key. JIS keyboards are a Japanese-style layout. Again, personal preference.
Percents: various key reductions, chopping off some of the middle cluster (96%), numpad (80%), both (75% and 70%), function keys (65%), arrow keys (60%), and number keys (40%). Which you might want is… personal preference.
Models are just different model numbers with different layout variations or material variations such as metal vs plastic frame.
Keycap types are different kinds of plastic (ABS and PBT). Double shot means the labels are molded in separate plastic from the rest of the keycap. More expensive but more durable, barring easier mfg defects. Dye sub means the labels are printed on the keycaps through the dye sublimation printing process. They can wear off after many years of heavy use. Shine through means LED backlighting shines through.
Keycap profiles are the most complicated but they have an article that specifically covers it and once again it all comes down to preference really.
Other than that… did you have some specific terminology you wanted to ask about?
@Hawke Relative merits are what informs personal choice.
And whilst I appreciate your efforts to clarify these details, there's two problems here:
-
your understanding of the meanings may not quite match theirs
-
it's not your job to explain THEIR products. It's theirs.
Hiding details in the blogs seems an odd choice to me - as I mentioned elsewhere I tried their Help center; a Blog is for news updates.
You may find it more useful to contact a sales representative rather than posting on Lemmy, then.
Only reason Lemmy got involved is because I tagged the wrong account.
Have otherwise never heard of it.
