There was a time when 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.
As well as advancements in technology, keyboard advancement has had to keep up in order to supply the proper combination of durability, accuracy, and practicality. Though the trends are numerous, there are some big trends in the functionality on keyboards.
The use of dome switch keyboards comes first. Dome switch keyboards utilize of a combination of membrane and a mechanical keyboard. Underneath a plastic dome, or bubble, two circuit board traces are brought together.
The surface of the bubble is given a coat of conductive material. As you press the key, it crushes the dome and shorts out the two circuit traces completing a connection that tells the keyboard that you have entered a character. Tthe pattern on the PC board is usually gold plated.
Dome switch keyboard technology is common in many keyboards. It is quiet, but there are those who complain that it is spongy compared to other key types. Dome switches are also known as direct switch keys.
A second trend is the capacitive keyboard. Keyboards that are capacitive are created 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.
A third big trend in keyboard switching is the mechanical switch keyboard. This type of keyboard uses real switches under each key. They have varying responses and travels. It gets expensive to place a switch at each key position so mechanical switch keyboards have fallen a bit out of favor. Sometimes considered to be loud and noisy, they are amongst the most reliable of 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 most often used for applications where ultra-high reliability is crucial, such as aircraft cockpits and nuclear power plants.
The fifth trend in keyboard technology is the membrane keyboard. This type of keyboard is generally flat. They are most often seen on appliances and machines like microwave ovens, photocopiers, 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 second or spacer layers are held apart so they don't 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 come a long way since typewriters lined all the desks in, say, newspaper offices and they will continue to advance for as long as the need for durability, reliability, and variation continues.
