Historicalreview

Since1714,peopleinBritain,theUnitedStates,France,Italy,Switzerlandandothercountrieshaveinventedvarioustypesoftypewriters,butthetechnologyisnotyetmature.Theearliestkeyboardusedontypewriterswasalsoinvented.Until1868,the"fatheroftypewriters"-AmericanChristopherLathamSholes(ChristopherLathamSholes)obtainedthetypewritermodelpatentandobtainedtherighttooperateit.Afewyearslater,hedesignedthepracticaluseofmoderntypewriters.Theformandthefirststandardizedkeyboard,namelyQWERTYkeyboard.

Whyshouldthekeyboardbestandardizedintoa"QWERTY"keyarrangementlayout.Thisisbecause,atfirst,thekeyboardofatypewriterisarrangedinalphabeticalorder,andthetypewriterisatypingtoolwithafullymechanicalstructure.Ifthetypingspeedistoofast,somekeycombinationsarepronetokeystuckproblems.SoChristopherLathamSholes(ChristopherLathamSholes)inventedtheQWERTYkeyboard.Heplacedthemostcommonlyusedlettersinoppositedirectionstomaximizethetimeintervalbetweenrepeatedkeystrokes,thusavoidingstuckkey.Shoalsappliedforapatentin1868,andin1873thefirstcommercialtypewriterusingthislayoutwassuccessfullyputonthemarket.

ThekeylayoutoftheQWERTYkeyboardisveryinefficient.Forexample:Mosttypistsareright-handed,butusingtheQWERTYkeyboard,thelefthandisresponsiblefor57%ofthework.Thetwolittlefingersandtheleftringfingeraretheweakestfingers,buttheyarefrequentlyused.Theuserateofthelettersinthemiddlecolumnonlyaccountsforabout30%oftheentiretypingwork.Therefore,youoftenhavetomoveyourfingersfrequentlyinordertotypeacharacter.

In1888,apublictypingcompetitionwasheldintheUnitedStates.ThecourtstenographerMaJialinshowedhisblindtypingskillsaccordingtoacleardivisionoflabor.Theerrorwasonlythreeoutoftenthousand,whichsurprisedtheaudience.Accordingtotherecord,MaJialinGalin'sbonuswas500USdollars.Sincethen,manypeoplehavefollowedthistypeoftouchtyping,andtherehavebeenschoolsspecializingintrainingtypistsintheUnitedStates.

Duetotheemergenceoftouchtypingtechnology,thekeystrokespeedissufficienttomeettheneedsofdailywork.However,60yearslater(1934),amannamedDvorak(DVORAK)inWashington,USAHitmorewordsalternatelyandinventedthekeyboardarrangementmethodoftheDVORAKkeylayout.Thiskeyboardcanshortenthetrainingcycleby1/2timeandincreasetheaveragespeedby35%.ThekeyboardlayoutprinciplesofDVORAKkeypositionlayoutare:1.Trytostrikealternatelywithleftandrighthandstoavoidsingle-handedcontinuousstrikes;2.Theaveragemovementdistanceofkeystrokesintherowisthesmallest;3.Themostcommonlyusedlettersshouldbearrangedintheguidekeyposition.

Originofthearrangement

ThekeyboardlettersarearrangedaccordingtothefrequencyofletteruseTheorderofthehighandlow.Interestingreadersmaywonder:Whydoyouwanttoarrangethe26lettersinsuchanirregulararrangement?Itisdifficulttorememberanddifficulttomaster.Itissaidthatthereasonisthis:

Inthe1870s,Shoalswasthelargestmanufactureroftypewritersatthetime.Becausethemechanicaltechnologywasnotperfectatthattime,thereboundspeedofthewordkeysafterbeinghitwasslow.Oncethetypisthitsthekeystoofast,itiseasytotwistthetwowordkeystogether.Youmustcarefullyhandlethekeyswithyourhands.Theyareseparated,whichseriouslyaffectsthetypingspeed.Therefore,thecompanyoftenreceivescomplaintsfromcustomers.

Inordertosolvethisproblem,acleverengineersuggested:Thereasonforthetwistingofthetypewriter'skeysisthatontheonehand,thereturnspeedofthewordkeysisslow,andontheotherhand,thespeedofthetypististoofast.Sincewecan'tincreasethereboundspeed,whydon'twewanttoreducethetypingspeed?

Therearemanywaystoreducethespeedofatypist.Theeasiestwayistodisrupttheorderofthe26lettersandplacethemorecommonlyusedlettersunderclumsyfingers,suchastheletters"O",""S"and"A"arefrequentlyused,buttheyareusedtohitthemostawkwardrightringfinger,leftringfingerandleftlittlefinger.Thelessfrequentlyused"V","J","U"andotherlettersarehandledbythemostflexibleindexfinger.

Asaresult,this"QWERTY"combinationkeyboardwasbornandgraduallyfinalized.Later,duetothedevelopmentofmaterialsandtechnology,thereboundspeedofthewordkeyswasmuchfasterthanthespeedofthetypist'skeystrokes,butthealphabeticalorderofthekeyboardcouldnotbechanged.Althoughtherearemanymorereasonablealphabeticaldesignschemes,noneofthemcanbepromoted.Wecanseehowpowerfulthehabitualforcesofsocietyare.

Theuniversal101-keyor102-keykeyboardisnamedaccordingtothearrangementofEnglishlettersandiscalledQWERTYkeyboard.Undoubtedly,itis"born"fromanEnglishtypewriter.BillGatesusedthiskeyboardtoillustratewhatiscalleda"defacto"standard:"TheorderoflettersonEnglishtypewritersandcomputerkeyboardsisQWERTY,andthereisnolawthatsaystheymustbearrangedinthisway.Buttheyareeffective.Mostuserswillsticktothisstandard.”Interestingly,thisarrangementisnotareasonablelayout.

TheinventoroftheQWERTYkeyboardiscalledChristopherSholes(C.Sholes),wholivedduringtheAmericanCivilWarinthe19thcenturyandwastheeditorofthe"MilwaukeeNews".WiththeassistanceofhisfriendSaul,Shoalsdevelopedapagenumberingmachineandobtainedaninventionpatent.ThenewspapercolleagueGliddensuggestedthathefurtherdevelopatypewriteronthisbasisandbroughthimtestmaterialsfromtheBritish.

AfterdevotingyearsofhardworktoShoalsandthetwopartners,in1860,theymadeaprototypeofatypewriter.However,Shoalsfoundtohisdisappointmentthataslongashistypingspeedwasslightlyfaster,hismachinewouldnotworkproperly.Accordingtoconvention,Shoalsarrangesthe26EnglishlettersonthekeyboardintheorderofABCDEF.Inordertomakethetypedcharactersonebyone,thekeysshouldnotbetoofarapart.Inthiscase,aslongasthefingermovesslightlyfaster,themetalrodsconnectingthekeyswillinterferewitheachother.Inordertoovercometheinterferencephenomenon,Shoalsrearrangedthepositionoftheletterkeys,arrangedthespacingoffrequentlyusedlettersasfaraspossible,andlengthenedtheprocessoffingermovement.

Theabnormalthinkingmethodhasachievedsuccess.Shoalsexcitedlytypedalineofletters:"Thefirstblessing,dedicatedtoallmen,especially,dedicatedtoallladies."Shoalsdedicatedhisinventiontowomen"specially".HewantedtodoTheycreatedanewprofessionneverseenbefore—"typist".OnJune23,1868,theU.S.PatentOfficeofficiallyacceptedthetypewriterinventionpatentjointlyregisteredbyShoals,Glidden,andThor.

Judgingfromtheeyesatthismoment,thekeyboardletterarrangementmethodinventedbyShoalshastoomanyshortcomings.Forexample,8ofthe10mostcommonlyusedlettersinEnglisharetoofarawayfromtheprescribedfingerposition,whichisnotconducivetoimprovingtypingspeed;inaddition,thelettersonthekeyboardthatneedtobetypedwiththelefthandaretoomuch,becausemostpeopleareright-handed"Zi",soitcanbeuseddifferently.Someonehasmadestatistics.UsingtheQWERTYkeyboard,askilledtypistcanmovehisfingersaslongas25.7kilometersin8hours.However,theQWERTYkeyboardisstillthe"defacto"standardforcomputerkeyboards.Althoughin1932,theUniversityofWashingtonprofessorA.DVORAKdesignedakeyboardwithamorescientificDVORAKkeylayout,butithasneverbeenpopularized.

2."Keyboardkeyfailure"troubleshooting

Theoperationstepsareasfollows(notethatthescissorkeyboardismainlyusedfornotebooksasultrabookkeyboards.Whenthekeyboardismodularizedforpersonalmaintenance,donotdisassembleitoryoucannotinstallitback):

1.Disassemblethekeyboard.Notethatwhenopeningthekeyboard,thebuttonsurface(thatis,thesidewhereweoperate)mustbedownwardandthecircuitboardupward,otherwisetheconductiveplasticoneachbuttonwillfalloffoneafteranother,whichwillcausetroubleforyourrepair.

2.Openthecircuitboard,thecircuitboardisgenerallymadeofsoftplasticfilm,withbuttoncablesengravedonit.Usealcoholcottonwithaconcentrationofmorethan97%ormedicalalcoholcottonwithaconcentrationofmorethan75%togentlyscrubthecircuitboard..Wipethelineofthepartofthebuttonfailureseveraltimes.

3.Checktheconductiveplasticonthemalfunctioningpartofthebutton.Ifthereisalotofdirtontheupperarea,wipeitwithalcoholaswell.Assumingthattheconductiveplasticisdamaged,itisrecommendedtoreplacetheconductiveplasticontheinfrequentlyusedbuttonswiththedamagedpart.Althoughthisactioncannotmakethekeyboardperformallthefunctions,itcanatleastextendthelifeofthefrequentlyusedbuttons.
