Abstract

A method for arranging buttons of a keyboard is provided to reduce the difference between work loads of the left hand and right hand. The location of one of character buttons located on a letter button part(A) is moved to a different space including a direction button part(B) or an auxiliary number button part(C). By using the left hand, a button manipulation is performed on the direction button part or auxiliary number button part. By using the right hand, a mouse manipulation is performed.

Reduced difference between right hand and left hand workload in using keyboards

As shown in FIG. 1, a button arrangement of a keyboard, which is commonly used for a conventional computer keyboard, is referred to as A (letter button portion), B (direction button portion), and C (secondary numeric button portion) for the following description. Divided, since the letter buttons in the center of the square border of the "A" part are only in the "A" part, the right hand movement distance from the mouse to the right side of the keyboard after inputting a letter is large. Most people are right-handed.

That is, the keyboard layout of the conventional keyboard is an arrangement devised when there is no mouse, and should be regarded as left-handed use in a mouse-using environment as it is now.

Because the keyboard layout of the conventional keyboard is the right handed, the workload of the right hand is much larger than that of the left hand. The left hand only needs to handle a few combination-induced buttons such as shift, ctrl, alt, function buttons such as tab and caps lock, and the character button for the left hand, but the right hand is the same kind of work that the left hand does It is responsible for the buttons and the mouse in the "C" or "C" section.

Therefore, the position of the character buttons is conventionally "A" part, but this application suggests that by changing to another position including the "B" part or "C" part, the difference between the workload of the right hand and the left hand can be greatly reduced. . In actual production, it is aesthetically pleasing to replace all the buttons in the "A" section with the "B" or "C" section buttons, rather than moving the letter buttons. do. Conventionally, if the arrangement was in ABC order, the BAC, CAB, BCA or CBA order would be preferred by applying the method of the present invention. We believe that the BCA or CBA order is more preferable than the BAC or CAB. Then, when there is a button operation and mouse operation in the "B" or "C" part, it will be very comfortable to operate the button in the "B" or "C" part with the left hand and the mouse operation with the right hand.

Figure 2 is a layout view to move the letter button portion to one of the preferred example of applying the present invention

Claims (1)

In the keyboard having a button button and another button portion as shown in Figure 1, Any letter button among the letter buttons in the letter button part A is shifted to another space including the direction button part B or the auxiliary numeric button part C to reduce the workload gap between the right hand and the left hand. Method of increasing the button efficiency of the electric and electronic device, characterized in that to improve the ease of use.
