The keyboard is truly our "digital pen." A tool that shapes creativity and productivity.
Writers like me use it to weave stories and ideas, programmers use it to build and modify the digital world, and gamers rely on split-second decisions and precise control.
Some may even enjoy the clacking sound of a mechanical keyboard as their "work BGM."
But for many people, including myself, true focus lies in silence.
When deep in thought, even the slightest noise can disrupt concentration and break the flow of thinking.
In this article, I will introduce why keyboards with excellent noise reduction contribute to improved focus and productivity.
We'll look at the effects of NIZ keyboards' noise performance through research and real-world usage scenarios.
What is a quiet keyboard?
The sound of a keyboard is mainly determined by its internal structure and materials.
Among these, the switch structure is the most significant factor.
Traditional mechanical keyboards use switches with physical contact, producing a clear "click" sound each time a key is pressed.
On the other hand, NIZ uses "capacitive non-contact switches."
These do not require physical contact and sense changes in electrical capacitance when a key is pressed, completing input with minimal impact and sound.
A typical mechanical keyboard produces about 50-60 dBA of sound (equivalent to the volume of human conversation).
In contrast,NIZ's L84models achieve around 35 dBA, offering a quietness akin to a whisper.
Why NIZ's silent keyboards enhance focus and productivity
1. When working alone, they don't interrupt concentration
Any sound can be a distraction.
Even a single "click" can disrupt the flow of thought.
According to research by psychologistDr. Nick Perham, intermittent background noises like keyboard sounds can reduce memory and calculation abilities.
Quiet keyboards like NIZ create an environment where you can immerse yourself in work without being distracted by unnecessary sounds.
2. Reducing noise in shared spaces
If one keyboard's sound can disrupt focus, imagine what happens in an office or coworking space where multiple people are typing?
It’s extremely difficult to concentrate amidst constant "clacking" sounds.
One study showed that office noise can reduce productivity by about 3%.
Companies switching to silent models like NIZ keyboards could potentially improve overall team productivity.
3. Less fatigue during long hours of work
Mechanical keyboards are not only loud but often require significant force to press keys, which can lead to hand and finger fatigue during extended use.
NIZ adopts a different structure, using capacitive non-contact switches to enable smooth typing with minimal effort.
An actuation force of just 30gf'sL84allows comfortable typing for long hours with light keystrokes.
4. Minimizing noise during online meetings
Recently, hybrid work and remote meetings have become common.
In such situations, keyboard typing sounds can often disrupt conversations.
With NIZ's silent keyboard, you can take notes during meetings without creating distracting noise, allowing you to stay focused.
5. Peace of mind while working late at night or early in the morning
When working late at night, family members might be sleeping nearby, or during early mornings when children are still asleep.
In such cases, a noisy keyboard can cause stress and make you overly cautious about your own work.
By using a quiet keyboard, you can create an ideal work environment where you can focus at your own pace while also being considerate of those around you.
Summary
Quietness is the key to unlocking the highest levels of concentration and productivity.
No matter how great an idea is, it cannot take shape if disrupted by noise.
If you're looking to 'focus' in the office, library, or at home, a quiet NIZ keyboard can help with that.
