Review: IBM 42H1292 and 1391401 keyboards Unlike many elderly keyboards, their cable terminates in a PS/2 connector, not the fat 5 pin DIN connector that older PCs use and which requires a clumsy adaptor to work with newer machines. When Windows keyboards first started showing up they annoyed the heck out of me, because I was forever hitting one of the bring-up-a-menu buttons instead of Control or Alt or, occasionally, Space; the Windows keys generally crowd the bottom row enough that the space bar has to be considerably narrower. Keyboards like these are so expensive partly because IBM insisted on making them in places better known for liquor production than for cheap computer gear (these ones were made in Scotland), but mainly because they use discrete keyswitches. www.dansdata.com /ibmkeyboard.htm   (1844 words)

Computer keyboard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Keyboards are designed for the input of text and characters, and also to control the operation of a computer. Most modern computer keyboards (including those on the PC and Apple Mac) are based on these standard versions, but include additional keys not normally found on typewriters, such as function keys, a numeric keypad, and so on. Modern keyboards prevent this from happening by blocking the 3rd key in certain key combinations, but while this prevents phantom input, it also means that when two keys are depressed simultaneously, many of the other keys on the keyboard will not respond until one of the two depressed keys is lifted. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Computer_keyboard   (1145 words)

The PS/2 Keyboard Interface Keyboards consist of a large matrix of keys, all of which are monitored by an on-board processor (called the "keyboard encoder".) The specific processor This is because the keyboard controller converts all incomming scan codes to set one (this stems from retaining compatibility with software written for XT systems.) However, it's still set two scan codes being sent down the keyboard's serial line. The keyboard controller auto-detects which mode it is to use according to how it's wired to the keyboard port. www.computer-engineering.org /ps2keyboard   (4553 words)

Define keyboard - a definition from Whatis.com The computer keyboard uses the same key arrangement as the mechanical and electronic typewriter keyboards that preceded the computer. The Dvorak keyboard was designed with the most common consonants on one side of the middle or home row and the vowels on the other side so that typing tends to alternate key strokes back and forth between hands. Because many keyboard users develop a cumulative trauma disorder, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, a number of ergonomic keyboards have been developed. whatis.techtarget.com /definition/0,,sid9_gci212440,00.html   (294 words)

Dvorak Keyboard And that measure does not take into account other features of the Dvorak keyboard such as its propensity to alternate hands since all the vowels are on the left side of the home row and there is a tendency in English for vowels and consonants to alternate within words. Keyboard configuration, evidently, is intimately bound to self-perpetuating social convention, and the problem of inertia, which has cost us dearly in lost opportunities for ameliorating physical and economic harms, must be solved socially. First, as a national standard, all computer keyboard manufacturers should be required to enhance their keycaps with a second set of symbols in the Dvorak configuration. www.dcn.davis.ca.us /~sander/mensa/dvorak1.html   (2361 words)

The Dvorak Keyboard For over a century, typists have been using the qwerty keyboard arrangement, a hack that was implemented to work around the mechanical limitations of early typewriters. If a typist were to hit two keys on the same side of the keyboard in rapid succession, the second lever on its way up would hit the first on its way down, the keys would become stuck together, and the typist would have to stop typing and unstick the keys. Dvorak attributed the increase in accuracy to the fact that on keyboard, that the most common digraphs (two-letter combinations, such as "ed") in English would occur with a minimum of "hurdling" (having to jump over a key as if it were a hurdle), and would use stronger fingers rather than weaker ones. www.mit.edu:8001 /people/jcb/Dvorak/index.html   (1669 words)
