A System for evaluating the effect of keyboard design on force, posture, comfort, and productivity / Paul Smutz, Elaine Serina, and David Rempel

Sumario: The purpose of this study was develop a system to determine the effectiveness of an alternative keyboard design which aimed to reduce fingertip force and awkward wrist postures. A prototype alphanumeric keyboard, adjustable in four ways, was developed for this study. Four measurements were chosen to determine the effectiveness of each keyboard configuration: fingertip impact force; wrist position; productivity; and comfort and ease of use
