Comparing Computer Keyboards
Overview
Talk to any experienced executive assistant or freelance writer typing at 80 words per minute, and you’ll find they have strong opinions on keyboards. A keyboard not only affects typing speed but also plays a crucial role in maintaining hand and wrist health, reducing neck and shoulder stress, enhancing attitude, and minimizing fatigue.
Before you head to a store and accept the default keyboard with a new computer, consider exploring your options.
Importance of Keyboard Design
The design of a keyboard significantly impacts a typist’s hand position and posture. Ergonomics, a journal by Taylor & Francis, reviewed three ergonomic keyboard designs.
Keyboard Comparisons
1. Standard Keyboard: The basic design often leads to less ergonomic hand positions.
2. Fixed Alternative Keyboard: Features a 12-degree split and 10-degree lateral inclination, promoting a more natural hand position. It offers moderate ergonomic improvements while maintaining productivity levels.
3. Adjustable Alternative Keyboard: Allows a 15-degree split with a dramatic 42-degree lateral inclination, which moves the wrist nearer to a neutral position but slightly reduces typing speed (by 20%).
Both alternative designs showed significant differences in forearm and wrist angles, with improved positioning comparably close to neutral.
Wireless Keyboards
Wireless keyboards are praised for their flexibility, allowing users to move freely within the workspace. While they demand skilled typists when used without a monitor, their adaptability can enhance productivity significantly.
Choosing the Right Keyboard
Match the keyboard to the task. For instance, a bookkeeper may benefit from a keyboard with a dedicated number pad. Business owners should also consider the software compatibility alongside the hardware quality. For example, the Logitech diNovo Media Desktop offers advanced features but may be hampered by suboptimal software.
Conclusion
Investing time in selecting the right keyboard for your office can enhance productivity, improve morale, and reduce downtime. Don't overlook the importance of this essential office tool.
