ELECTRONIC COMPUTER KEYBOARD WITH ENHANCED ERGONOMIC PROPERTIES

摘要

The keystroke resistance and keystroke length (SL) of an electronic QWERTY style keyboard for personal computers and other electronic devices, are increased to at least ninety grams and more than about five millimeters, respectively, to reduce the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome and other injuries associated with repetitive movements in long-term keyboard operation. Elastomeric template (60) and lattice structures (64) are provided which may be molded as single unitary pieces of elastomeric material to cooperate with each key assembly (48) and thereby facilitate OEM manufacture of the improved ergonomic electronic computer keyboard.
