Abstract
The present study focuses on an ergonomic evaluation of 4 computer keyboards, based on a quantitative analysis of wrist posture and typing performance and on subjective analyses of operator comfort during typing. The objectives of this study are (1) to quantify differences in the wrist posture and in typing performance when the four different keyboards are used, and (2) to analyze the subjective preferences of the subjects for alternative keyboards compared to the standard flat keyboard.Keywords
