Keyboard hardware products can have a multitude of benefits in the classroom. The advantages they provide are highly beneficial when dealing with computers and typing long texts. To hone in on key advantages for keyboard uses, one must understand the different types of keyboards. All keyboards function the same way, yet have different qualities to them. For example; the traditional keyboard you're probably using right now is a physical layout of a board with different keys on it. The other main type of keyboard is built into the device being used. These types reside in mobile products such as a notebook, iPad or phone. Another type of keyboard (branching off the traditional keyboard), is the bluetooth keyboard. There's nothing specifically fancy about this other than the fact that it's wireless.
Virtual keyboards are probably the least popular in that most people don't use them. This doesn't mean, however, that they're not useful like other keyboards. The main concept of the virtual keyboard is that it projects an array of lasers that sense movement and an abruption in the current. Picture, on any flat surface, a projected keyboard that fully functions like the hardware keyboard. The benefits it provides reside in its universal use and ease of access. The projection box that projects the lasers is actually quite small and stores quite easily in most spaces. Its universality in conjunction with main brand products is a highly beneficial advantage as most products tend to only work with specific computers and mobile devices. For example mac keyboards only work with mac computers. and pc products with personal computers.
All in all the virtual keyboard is a very good investment. It lasts a very long time and doesn't need cleaning like a traditional keyboard needs. You also don't have to worry about broken keys like a hardware product because you're simply tapping the surface you project the keyboard onto.
Some things to note are the price. Some of these products can have a hefty price tag that can dig deep into your wallet. Be wary of overpriced imitations. These products do the same exact things as any cheap virtual keyboard yet claim they have added benefits and features that either don't work or aren't useful to the average user of the product.

ReplyDeleteI have no idea what you are talking about.
A amac keyboard works perfectly well with a Lenovo computer running Windows, or the Raspberry Pi.
Sure, "pc products" are made for PCs, but most other computers don't have many side products anyway. I don't think supercomputers use normal mouses, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did...
