Miscellaneous Talking Keyboard History Thirty-six: DELL Dell KB522 Membrane Keyboard

1 Introduction

The UP main front N period all introduces the model that DELL has already discontinued, but today has a keyboard that sells still - DELL KB522. From the model naming point of view, KB522 is a keyboard by the Logitech foundry, this model is only produced by Logitech, Xu Li does not have a corresponding model. KB522 positioning or multimedia keyboard has this many multimedia keys, its appearance still continues SK-8115 and other models of the narrow border simple design, its slim size, as always, revealed a fraction of SK-8175's figure, KB522's biggest change is to use Short keyway design and ultra-thin thickness. Today, the classics such as SK-8115/8125/8135 are all discontinued, even the follow-up SK-8165/8175/8185 models are also discontinued, the current market is still selling DELL keyboard is mainly KB212/KB216/KB522 and other models, The common feature of these models is the use of a short-key design, but the KB522's material and feel are still far from its predecessors. Today, UP Lord came to the sun and it KB522.


2. Appearance

The yellow corrugated paper packaging that is not dead for thousands of years, the UP master is A00 version.

Open the package contains the keyboard and hand care, KB522 comes standard with a hand care.

The KB522 continues DELL's consistent narrow-bezel design with a media key on the top and the keyboard is still the standard 104-key US layout.

As can be seen from the window key WIN8 logo, KB522 is a new model introduced in recent years, the keyboard side has a circle of silver frame.

Like the SK-8175 introduced last time, the new DELL models have all abandoned the LOGO design of the SK-8115. It is estimated that this is to save costs.

As with the SK-8175, the position of the indicator light is in the crevice of the frame, but it cannot be found without a closer look.

KB522's volume control wheel design can be said to be very characteristic, but also does not occupy the place and smoothly.

The KB522 top is equipped with a total of 12 media keys and volume adjustment wheel, which is convenient for use on weekdays.

Origin of China, now popular two-dimensional code, no bar code.

KB522 is really good in terms of anti-skid measures, below the three strip rubber anti-slip strips, there are two large rubber anti-slip blocks above, the effect of leverage.

Left and right hand rest slots

The KB522's foot supports are open on one side, but the entire foothold is small and short.

The KB522 has two USB 2.0 extensions on the back.

Although the KB522 uses a short key path design, it is still a crater structure that does not use the X architecture.

The keycap material is ABS, and the keycap height is relatively low, which is similar to the height of the keycap of the BenQ Gulf Seashell.

The use of silk screen printing process, the keycap grainy, but feel too smooth.

The wall of the cap is only 0.4mm. Some REV numbers of the SK-8115 are as thick as 1mm, and they are generally 0.7mm. The KB522 material is seriously shrinking.

The keyboard is not ergonomic and the keycaps are of the same height.

Thanks to the narrow bezel and short-key short keycap design, the KB522 is slim.

The angle of inclination after the foothold is opened can only be described by the word "Oh".

In the previous issue of the SK-8175, I thought that the 3.3mm diameter was fine enough. As a result, the 2.9mm diameter of the KB522 made me harder and eliminated the magnetic ring.

All kinds of shrinkage caused the K522 to weigh only 592g.

KB522 is equipped with a hand rest.

On the back there are three rubber anti-slip strips.

KB522's shrink can be said to be extreme, hand care ABS are reluctant to use, switch to HIPS material.

Hand rests are slotted.

Let's take a picture



3. Summary

Speaking of KB522 this keyboard is a substitute model of SK8135 in Ma Yun family, but in fact KB522 that 0.4mm key cap wall, 2.9mm wire diameter, 592g weight, disappeared magnetic ring, shortened Keystrokes, meaningless footholds, etc., really teach UP what the main call is shrinking. The KB522 can be said to be the worst model of the UP main evaluation DELL keyboard series, and no one, then the classic SK series DELL keyboard has been away from us. Of course, KB522 does not have all the disadvantages. KB522 has a good stability of its keycap and will not shake. Therefore, noise control in use is very good, and its backside anti-skid effect is also outstanding. In terms of touch, KB2020 uses a short-key design so that a large part of the user can't adapt, and there is not much difference between the feedback and the paragraph. On the whole, KB522 materials are seriously shrinking and short-key processes can not be adapted. If you are not a fan of short-key processes, UP owners strongly do not recommend that you start with KB522, especially those who want to buy alternative SK8115/8125/8135 value. , With this money, you still consider the 99 Ocean's domestic machinery.

KB522 is still available now. Ma Yunjia publicizes it as an alternative model of 8135. It seems that the UP Lord is inside the cow. Obviously, it is a hundred thousand miles away. If you are not short-range favorite, if you do not particularly like this keyboard, UP owners still suggest that you do not buy this shrink.


The next notice: Dogs are busy recently. Write SK-8165 in the next issue.
