Our experiment basically revealed, that keyboards which utilized keyswitches

with actuation forces that were neither to light (35 g) nor to heavy (80 g),
|

generally outperformed keyboards which featured those extreme actuation

forces. In the following section, we elaborate on possible limitations of our

experimental design and future research that could be reasonable to further

investigate advantages and disadvantages of adjusted keyboard designs.

\section{Conclusion}

\label{sec:label}
|
||||
Since keyboards are still the main data input device while using a computer and
|
||||
are also found to be related to discomfort or even \glsfirst{WRUED}
|
||||
\cite{pascarelli_wrued}, we tried to evaluate a possible modification to the
|
||||
existing keyboard design, that does not require the consumers to extensively
|
||||
adapt their typing behaviour, nor the producers to massively deviate from
|
||||
existing manufacturing processes. Therefore, we created a keyboard that used
|
||||
keyswitches with actuation forces, related to the specific finger the keyswitch
|
||||
is operated with.
