Types of Keyboards
Wireless keyboards:
The most obvious difference between a wireless keyboard and a
normal one is that the former uses infrared beams to transfer
data to the computer as opposed to the latter, which uses a
wire. As you type, a beam of data is sent from your keyboard to
a receiver on the computer. The major advantage of this is that
it eliminates one wire from the entangled web of wires from
behind your desk. Many people also prefer to have a wireless
mouse along with a wireless
keyboard.
It may not be possible for a corded keyboard to be kept in a
particular place that is most comfortable to you. This is
possible with a cordless keyboard, provided that it is placed in
a position where the infrared beam is easily reachable by the
computer. This distance can be different for different
computers, so it makes sense to check the specifications before
buying a wireless keyboard. This feature can be a problem for
the user if an object or person happens to block the path of the
infrared beam or the angle of the keyboard is not right.
A wireless keyboard can be a valuable component is you are
certain that the space between your keyboard and computer will
remain free of physical obstructions. It will provide freedom
and flexibility.
Ergonomic keyboard
The ergonomic keyboard has been designed to relieve some of the
stress caused by repetitive typing and make for more comfortable
typing. Prolonged usage of the
keyboard can cause carpal tunnel
syndrome or repetitive stress injury, which can be very painful.
The specially designed, contoured ergonomic keyboards
are helpful in such cases and even recommended by doctors.
There is also a view that the traditional QWERTY layout is more
stressful on the fingers and arms. Hence, the unconventional
Dvorak keyboard layout has been designed for those who subscribe
to this theory.
While there are no design specifications for ergonomic
keyboards, they generally have a contoured design for greater
typing comfort, as opposed to the standard flat keyboard.
Illuminated keyboards
Much like mobile phone keyboards, these keyboards are backlit so
that the keys are more visible even in poorly lit conditions.
Often, when working at night, you may like to work only with the
light of the monitor to prevent the glare of another light. An
illuminated keyboard would be just the thing for you in such a
situation. It is also great for multimedia presentations in
boardrooms with dim lighting.
When buying an illuminated keyboard, look out for the options of
being able to turn off the illumination when not required and to
adjust the level of brightness.
