Potential Hazards
Potential Hazards
- For something mechanically and electronically simple as a keyboard, there aren't many hazards. However, as keycaps are removable, there would be a choking hazard for small children should any keycaps come off the board.
Failure Methods
Failure Methods
- A keyboard can fail in a few different ways. Mechanically, a switch or keycap can break or wear down, causing it to perform incorrectly.
- Additionally, if an object got under the keys, it could cause the keys to move or lock up when pressed, causing a break in the switch's stem
- Electronically, there could be a short, causing the logic board to "brick" or cease functioning.
- This could be caused by a liquid spill, a mistake on soldering, or by physical misuse, such as jamming the usb port or dropping the board.
