Fact #1. We're all familiar with the immediate predecessor of keyboards, which are typewriters. However, the history of using keys to input letters goes as far back as the late 1800s. At this time, teleprinters used keys to transmit stock market data across the country through telegraph lines.
Fact #2. Video-based computer terminals emerged in 1967. Keyboards became the primary means of inputting data into them. Most of these devices were text-only. This meant that the keyboard was integral to the development of early computing. Even when the mouse was introduced, the keyboard remained essential.
Fact #3. With the introduction of touch-based devices such as tablets and smartphones into the market also came the rise of on-screen, virtual keyboards. However, it was around the same time that Bluetooth keyboards shot up in popularity. Eventually, they became a mass-market product, and grew more popular.
Fact #4. While you'll have to pay a little extra, a good physical keyboard for your tablet is a worth investment. This is especially true if you already own a tablet and want to maximize its use. That way, you get all the benefits that come with a lightweight tablet, like longer battery life, while also being able to finish that 2000-word essay in two hours.
Fact #5. As with any other type of keyboard, a large factor is key spacing. This is how near or how far apart the keys are from each other. If the key spacing is too small, your hands may end up feeling cramped after typing for a long period of time. If the keys are too far apart, you may get tired from typing quickly. You should also take into consideration the size of your own hands. Different sizes of hands suit different sizes of keyboard.
