Varieties of keyboard The Dvorak Keyboard layout arranges keys so that frequently used keys are easiest to press, when typing common English.
Modern keyboards inventor Christopher Sholes developed the QWERTY layout to reduce the likelihood of jamming. With the advent of computers, lever jams are no longer an issue. The QWERTY layout was designed to allow letters commonly used together to placed near each other.

Using infrared key presses are detected and produce the data onto the screen Flexible keyboards are made of soft plastic or silicone which can be rolled or folded on itself.
