Like me, you might thik that eye strain is caused by looking at monitor for long hours, however the designer of VisiKey computer said that

“Most of this eye strain is caused by the computer monitor. However, some is caused by looking at the small font, and poor contrast of their current computer keyboard.”

So, “VisiKey™ keyboards reduce eye strain and may even eliminate some users need for corrective lenses when using their computer*.”

The 430% larger print of the keys on the keyboard do help a lot for novice users, but if your are an advanced typist, you probably never look at your keyboard at all while typing.

Well, now, there is a solution for those who don’t like QWERT keyboard layout. There is a customizable computer keyboard for you which is called DX1 keyboard.

Neither you or I can figure out how to operate this computer mouse which is attached to the bottom you a regular keyboard and sports a centeral mousing surface, left / right wrist pads, and a sure-to-be-misplaced ‘glider’ that bears a striking resemblance to an air hockey striker.

Your cursor is controlled by maneuvering the glider around the center pad, and its forthright location deems it useable for righties and southpaws alike; moreover, the 12 integrated buttons are ideal for the plethora of WoW macros you probably rely on nightly

Price: $288 which is almost equal to the price of a new desktop without monitor.

Mac Mini is too tiny and it won’t look good if a full sized Mac Keyboard is attached to it. So, this Fujitsu’s Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite2 perfectly fits Mac Mini.

This input device measures half the size of a regular keyboard without losing all the essential keys including Command and Option. A couple of USB 1.1 ports are also available for you to hook up low-power peripherals, although it would’ve been nice to see USB 2.0 connectivity instead.

Like any other Mac parts which are costly, this The Happy Hacking Lite 2 keyboard for Macs are available for $52 each in Japan. Fujitsu seems like doesn’t have plan to bring this cool looking little Mac keyboard to the States.

What is Computer Keyboard Tray?

Picture shown below is an example of computer tray which can host a full computer keyboard and a mouse pad on it, and usually computer keyboard tray is attached to a desk. Computer keyboard tray also know as keyboard platforms, another name that might recall memory about it.

Do Computer Keyboard Tray Helps to Prevent Strain?

Computer keyboard tray is definitely designed to save space in your office. Instead of having the full keyboard occupying the a big portion of your desk, you can slide the keyboard in and out underneath your desk with help of the keyboard track. However, because the tray is installed underneath the desk, the problem is oftenly you have to lower hands down below the desk so that you can type the keyboard on the tray. If you do type a lot, having to type on your computer keyboard hosted on computer keyboard tray would actually hurt your hands because you are not able to sit in ergonomic position although you might have one of the ergonomic computer keyboards in the market. Hence, our advice is to stay away from computer keyboard tray if you type a lot. Please get a bigger desk so that you can have a space for your computer keyboard.

When we talk about keyboard layout, we will think about QWERTY keyboard layout which was invented by Christopher Sholes 1868. Why, because we are trained to use QWERTY keyboards without any questionings. About 15 years ago, I still remembered that I had to paid for attending typing classes to learn how to use QWERTY keyboard without asking why each key has be to arranged in this specific layout.

Right now, with more and more PDA cellular phones with QWERTY keyboards released into the market, it is the right time to justify whether we should stat with QWERTY keyboard forever as typing on the small keyboard on a PDA Phone doesn’t really work well because of limited space.

Please leave your comment below if you think QWERTY keyboard do or doesn’t work well on small limited space environment such as on PDA or cellular phone.
