Keyboard and Keypad

Some of the most functional and cost effective computer keyboard models come from large, reputable technology companies such as HP, Lenovo, Logitech and Microsoft. However, some of the more specialized keyboards, such as a keyboard for portable data collectors, come from smaller companies such as Adesso, iKey, Keytronic, Man & Machine, and Cherry. No matter what kinds of keypads are preferred, the basic functions of character-by-character input and a large-sized keyboard are usually standard. However, small details such as the ability to angle a keyboard or the inclusion of padded wrist rests can have a huge impact on long-term performance.

Any corporation that is looking for the right brand of computer keyboard for its office space must pay attention to these small details. Another indication of the usefulness of a keyboard or a keypad is the interface that it uses to connect to a computer. Does it have an option for one of the newer forms of connectivity such as USB 3.0 or Bluetooth? Is it ergonomic? These are all essential questions that a company should ask itself before making a purchase.Close
