- Philosophico/historical notes. Keyboard is the starved of
affection device in computing. We have always heard
complaints about its constraints, difficulty,
counter-intuitivity. Instead are hailed speech recognition
or motion capture (for example with WII and kinect sensor
systems). OK, rapid typing of text is not
"natural". But, since its appearance in Antiquity
(for the wind organ), the keyboard has taken an important
part in music then in text creation.
- The typical "digital" keyboard was born with
the typewriter, and its anti-ergonomic Querty set of keys.
In the 1980's, some hopes were raised by new kinds of
keyboards, for instance semi-spherical of folding. Then
"soft" keyboards have taken some importance, in
iPads, for instance.
