Once keyboards existed only on typewriters. The keys worked in a fairly straightforward manner: the user pressed the key, the key forced a 'stamp' to press the letter onto the paper through an ink ribbon.
Today our keyboards have numerous functions and uses. We use them to input information in computers, word processors, microwave ovens, car lock codes, and home furnaces just to name a few.
Along with advances in technology, keyboard trends within those advancements have had to keep up in order to give users the proper combination of accuracy, and practicality. Though the trends are many, there are five big trends in the key functionality on keyboards.
First is the use of dome switch keyboards. Dome switch keyboards make use of a combination of membrane and mechanical keyboard. Under a plastic dome or bubble, two circuit board traces are brought together.
The top of the bubbles get a coating of conductive material and when you press a key, it collapses the dome. The collapsed dome shorts out two circuit traces to complete a connection that tells the keyboard to enter the character. To help with conducting, the pattern on the PC board is usually gold plated.
Dome switch keyboard technology is common to many mass marketed keyboards and is thought to be nice and quiet, although there are those who complain that it feels 'mushy' compared to other keyboards. The dome switches can also be known as direct switching keys.
Our second trend in keyboards is the capacitive keyboard. Keyboards that are capacitive are manufactured so that stroking a key changes the capacitance of a pattern that gets printed on a PC board. This change in capacitance allows a pulse or train of pulses to be sensed.
The third trend in keyboard technology is the mechanical switch keyboard. A keyboard that actually has real switches under each key. Depending largely on the way the keyboard is built, they have varying responses and travels. Because it gets expensive to pace a switch at each key position, mechanical switch keyboards have fallen a bit out of public favor. Though sometimes considered to be loud and noisy, they are some of the most reliable keyboards.
Fourth up in keyboard trends are Hall Effect keyboards. These keyboards get their name from the use of magnets and the Hall Effect instead of actual switches. When the user presses a key, a magnet is moved and detected by a hall-effect sensor.
They are, however, very expensive since a magnet and sensor is needed for each key on the board, as well as custom control electronics.
The fifth common keyboard technology is the membrane keyboard. This type of keyboard is usually flat and are most often seen on appliances and machines like microwave ovens and car lock keypads. Commonly the design is made up of three layers. The top layer, which is the one the user touches, has the printing on the front, while the back has conductive stripes printed on it.
The spacer layer holds the front and back layers apart so they cannot make electrical contact. The third or back layer has conductive stripes printed on it perpendicular to the ones on the front layer. These perpendicular stripes form a grid. When the button is pushed, the finger pushes the front layer through the spacer layer to close a circuit at one of the grid intersections. This closed circuit tells the computer that a particular button as been pressed.
Keyboards have progressed since typewriters were all one saw in offices. They will continue to advance as long as we need durability, reliability, and variation in function.
