If you stroll by centers specializing in computing, with shops such section or just check out the websites with products in this segment, you realize that virtually all available data entries on computers such as keyboards, mice and others are of greater or lesser form, susceptible to customization.
When it comes to keyboards, you can find versions with keys arranged diagonally, "silent", aimed at games, and more. If you have adopted some of these models and still like to have extra options and improvements, perhaps the solution to your problems is under way.
Conceived until now as a product concept, Keyless Lifebook is a keyboard that can adapt and solve all the problems experienced by users around the world. It was developed by North American designer Laura Lahti for the 2011 edition of the design competition Designboom Fujitsu.
First, one can not but notice the look of Keyless Lifebook. Besides, unconsciously or not, refer to the saga Tron, the keypad operates by touch screen and enables the user to where he wants to have the keyboard parts. This great feature is useful not only lefties but also those who feel more comfortable using tools ergonomically perfect positions, for example, using the trackpad in diagonal position.
Keyless The Lifebook also has other valuable resources. You can choose to configure the keys according to the user language, the colors that illuminate the keyboard and trackpad to adjust the size according to their use, increasing it to functions that require more workspace, such as drawings, for example .
Undoubtedly, the proposal from designer Laura Lahti is pretty smart and should help, if you can leave the world of product concept. Many, however, must question how should be the usability of this new type of device. I believe that is not very different from typing on a tablet.
For those who have not adapted well to this new model of interaction, perhaps the features of the Lifebook Keyless fit so well in their daily lives that will be worth the effort and time to adapt.
