\subsection{Collection of available actuation forces for different keyswitch manufacturers}
|
||||||
|
\label{app:keyswitch}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To gather information about available actuation forces, the product lines of
|
||||||
|
keyswitches for all well known manufacturers, namely Cherry, Kailh, Gateron,
|
||||||
|
Matias, Razer and Logitech were collected. Since some of the key actuation
|
||||||
|
forces listed on the manufacturers or resellers websites were given in \gls{cN}
|
||||||
|
and most of them in \gls{g} or \gls{gf}, the values were adjusted to gram to
|
||||||
|
reflect a trend that is within a margin of ± 2 g of accuracy. The results shown
|
||||||
|
in \textit{Figure \ref{fig:iter}} are used to determine the minimum, maximum and most common
|
||||||
|
actuation force for broadly available keyswitches.

{\huge Impact of adjusted, per key, actuation force on efficiency and satisfaction while using mechanical keyboards}
|
||||||
|
\subsection{Motivation}
|
||||||
|
In recent years, computers are used to some extend in almost every industry in
|
||||||
|
Europe \cite{eurostat_ent_w_comp} and China \cite{iresearch_ent_w_comp}. This
|
||||||
|
leads to the conclusion, that also other countries must have a high usage of
|
||||||
|
computers in corporations. Furthermore, according to a statistic published by
|
||||||
|
\citeauthor{itu_hh_w_comp} in 2019, nearly half of the worldwide households have
|
||||||
|
access to at least one computer \cite{itu_hh_w_comp}. One of the most used
|
||||||
|
devices for data input while operating a computer is the keyboard
|
||||||
|
\parencite[22]{handbook_chi}. Therefore, people who use a computer, either at
|
||||||
|
home or to fulfill certain tasks at work, are also likely to use a keyboard. An
|
||||||
|
important part of a keyboard is the keyswitch also called keyboard key or
|
||||||
|
key. Those keyswitches use, depending on the manufacturer or keyboard type,
|
||||||
|
different mechanisms to actuate a keypress. More commonly used mechanism to date
|
||||||
|
are scissor switches, mostly used in laptop keyboards, dome/membrane switches,
|
||||||
|
often used in low- to mid-priced keyboards, and mechanical switches which are
|
||||||
|
the main switch type for high-priced and gaming keyboards
|
||||||
|
\cite{ergopedia_keyswitch}. Depending on the mechanism and type of key used, it
|
||||||
|
is possible that different force has to be applied to the key to activate
|
||||||
|
it. Normally, the force required to activate a key is identical for each key
|
||||||
|
across the keyboard. However, previous research has shown, that there is a
|
||||||
|
disparity in force generated by different fingers
|
||||||
|
\cite{bretz_finger_force}. This raises the question, why there are no keyboards
|
||||||
|
for personal or work related use cases with adjusted actuation forces per finger
|
||||||
|
or even customizable keyboards, where an individual can select the actuation
|
||||||
|
force for each keyswitch individually.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\subsection{Proposed Objective, Research Question and Hypothesis}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
% This thesis is intended to provide an overview of already conducted research in
|
||||||
|
% the domain of keyboards, especially in connection with actuation force and the
|
||||||
|
% impact of different keyswitches on keyboard users.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
% Because there is no previous research in the particular field of per finger/key
|
||||||
|
% actuation force for (mechanical) keyboards and the impact of such customization
|
||||||
|
% on efficiency and comfort, this thesis is also intended to research if this is a
|
||||||
|
% viable option in comparison to the classic keyboard with uniform actuation
|
||||||
|
% force. Therefore the author proposes to answer the question:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This thesis is intended to research if a keyboard with zones of keys, which have
|
||||||
|
adjusted actuation force depending on the assigned finger for that zone and the
|
||||||
|
position on the keyboard, is a viable option compared to the standard keyboard
|
||||||
|
with uniform actuation force across all keyswitches.

\section{Proposed Method}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\subsection{Subjects}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is planned to recruit 20 participants in total. Main target group to recruit
|
||||||
|
participants for the research study from are personal contacts and fellow
|
||||||
|
students. Participants are required to type with more than just one finger per
|
||||||
|
hand. Thus, touch typing is not a mandatory but helpful skill to
|
||||||
|
participate. The age distribution for the subjects is estimated to be between 18
|
||||||
|
and 56 years. The average typing speed should be known prior to the main
|
||||||
|
experiment. Therefore, a typing speed test should be performed on the subject's
|
||||||
|
own keyboard in beginning of the experiment. This typing test has to be
|
||||||
|
performed within the standardized test environment consisting of an adjustable
|
||||||
|
chair, desk, monitor and the typing test software used within the main
|
||||||
|
experiment. Also, all subjects have to give their written consent to
|
||||||
|
participate in the study.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\subsection{Study design}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Participants must complete several typing tests using four different keyboards.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The experiment should consist of a experimental group and a control group. The
|
||||||
|
control group will perform all typing tests with the same keyboard. The text
|
||||||
|
used for the typing test should be easily understandable. Therefore, the text
|
||||||
|
has to be evaluated with the help of a \gls{FRE} \cite{flesch_fre}
|
||||||
|
adjusted for German language \cite{immel_fre}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\begin{equation}\label{fre_german}
|
||||||
|
FRE_{deutsch} = 180 - \underbrace{ASL}_{\mathclap{\text{Average Sentence Length}}} - (58,5 * \overbrace{ASW}^{\mathclap{\text{Average Syllables per Word}}})
|
||||||
|
\end{equation}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The adjusted formula (\ref{fre_german}) to estimate the understandability of the
|
||||||
|
texts used in this experiment usually yields a number in the range of
|
||||||
|
\([0;100]\) called the \gls{FRE}. Higher \gls{FRE}s refer to better
|
||||||
|
understandability and thus the texts used in this experiment all have to fulfill
|
||||||
|
the requirement of a \gls{FRE} \(> 70\), which represents a fairly easy text
|
||||||
|
\cite{immel_fre} and \cite{flesch_fre}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
One typing test will consist of several smaller, randomly chosen, texts
|
||||||
|
snippets. The length of the snippets has to be between 100 and 400 characters
|
||||||
|
and a snippet has to meet the \gls{FRE} requirement. The snippets are generated by
|
||||||
|
volunteers via the web interface of the platform used in this experiment which
|
||||||
|
can be seen in appendix \ref{app:gott}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
% ASK: Should there be a control group at all, if so should they use their own keyboard or always the same random keyboard while they think they are testing different keyswitches?
|
||||||
|
After each typing test, the participant has to fill out an adjusted CEN ISO/TS
|
||||||
|
9241-411:2014 keyboard comfort questionnaire \cite{iso9241-411}. One additional
|
||||||
|
question was added to this questionnaire: ``How satisfied have you been with
|
||||||
|
this keyboard?'' The answer for this question can be selected with the help of a
|
||||||
|
\gls{VAS} ranging from 0 to 100 \cite{lewis_vas}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\textbf{Planned experiment procedure: (Total time requirement: 120 min)}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
||||||
|
\item Pre-Test questionnaire to gather demographic and other relevant
|
||||||
|
information e.g., touch typist, average \gls{KB} usage per day, predominantly
|
||||||
|
used keyboard type, previous medical conditions affecting the result of the
|
||||||
|
study e.g., \gls{RSI}, \gls{CTS}, etc. The full questionnaire can be observed
|
||||||
|
in the appendix \ref{app:gott}. (5 min)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\item Adjustment of the test environment (Chair height, monitor height, etc.) (2 min)
|
||||||
|
\item Prepare subject for \gls{EMG} measurements: Electrodes are placed on the
|
||||||
|
\gls{FDS}/\gls{FDP} and \gls{ED} of both forearms. The main function of the
|
||||||
|
\gls{FDS} and \gls{FDP} is the flexion of the medial four digits, while the
|
||||||
|
\gls{ED} mainly extends the medial four digits. Therefore, these muscles are
|
||||||
|
primarily involved in the finger movements required for typing on a keyboard
|
||||||
|
\cite{netter_anatomy}. (8 min)
|
||||||
|
\item Familiarization with the typing test and keyboard model used in the experiment. All participants use the same keyboard with 50g actuation force for this step. (5 min)
|
||||||
|
\item Initial typing test with own keyboard. (5 min) \\
|
||||||
|
Adjusted follow-up ISO keyboard comfort questionnaire. (2 min) \\
|
||||||
|
Pause with light stretching exercises. (3 min)
|
||||||
|
% SUBTOTAL: 30 min
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\item \textbf{Main Test (H1-H4):} In this part the subject has to
|
||||||
|
take two, 5 minute, typing tests per keyboard, with a total of 4
|
||||||
|
keyboards (\gls{KB} A, \gls{KB} B, \gls{KB} C, \gls{KB} D). After each
|
||||||
|
typing test, the subject has to fill out the post typing test keyboard
|
||||||
|
comfort questionnaire. Keyboards A, B and C are equipped with one set of
|
||||||
|
keyswitches and therefore each of the keyboards provides one of the
|
||||||
|
following, uniform, actuation forces across all keyswitches: 35 \gls{g},
|
||||||
|
50 \gls{g} or 80 \gls{g}. These specific values are the results of a
|
||||||
|
self conducted comparison between the product lines of most major
|
||||||
|
keyswitch manufacturers. The results shown in appendix
|
||||||
|
\ref{app:keyswitch} yield, that the lowest broadly available force for
|
||||||
|
keyswitches is 35 \gls{g}, the highest broadly available force is 80
|
||||||
|
\gls{g}, and the most common offered force is 50 \gls{g}. Keyboard D is
|
||||||
|
equipped with different zones of keyswitches that use appropriate
|
||||||
|
actuation forces according to finger strength differences and key
|
||||||
|
position. The keyboards used in this experiment are visually identical,
|
||||||
|
ISO/IEC 9995-1 conform \cite{iso9995-1} and provide a \gls{QWERTZ}
|
||||||
|
layout to resemble the subjects day-to-day layout and keyboard format as
|
||||||
|
close as possible. All keyboards are equipped with linear mechanical
|
||||||
|
keyswitches from one manufacturer to minimize differences in haptic and
|
||||||
|
sound while typing. To mitigate order effects, the order of the
|
||||||
|
keyboards is counterbalanced with the help of the latin square method
|
||||||
|
and the text snippets for the individual tests are randomized
|
||||||
|
\cite{statist_counterbalancing}. \textbf{(total: 80 min)}

|

|
\end{enumerate}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\item Post-Test semi-structured interview: The participant has to draw three
|
||||||
|
different UX curves \cite{kujala_ux_curve} to evaluate how fatigue,
|
||||||
|
performance and overall usability of the individual keyboards were perceived
|
||||||
|
during the experiment. While drawing the UX curve, participants should
|
||||||
|
describe their thought process. To reduce errors in the later evaluation of
|
||||||
|
the UX curves, the entire interview is recorded. (10 min)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\end{enumerate}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The \gls{EMG} data for all muscles is captured using the Flexvolt Chrome app and Flexvolt 8-Channel
|
||||||
|
biosensor device in combination with TIGA-MED ECD-Electrodes. The captured data is then processed and
|
||||||
|
plotted using Python. Hardware and plots can be observed in Figure \ref{fig:emg_setup}.

In recent decades, computers and other electronic devices have become an
|
||||||
|
indispensable part of everyday life. Computers are used in almost every industry
|
||||||
|
\cite{iresearch_ent_w_comp, eurostat_ent_w_comp} and almost half of the
|
||||||
|
worldwide households have access to at least one computer \cite{itu_hh_w_comp}.
|
||||||
|
Even 153 years after the first typewriter was patented \cite{noyes_qwerty, }
|
||||||
|
people still use keyboards as their main way to input data into a computer
|
||||||
|
\parencite[22]{handbook_chi}, \cite{broel_dektop_or_smartphone}. A potential
|
||||||
|
problem while interacting with a computer through the usage of a keyboard are
|
||||||
|
rapid movements of the fingers over a prolonged time.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Input tasks are not only restricted to pure data entry but also include complex
|
||||||
|
inputs required by games.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Prolonged usage of computers can lead to serious diseases
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

With the rising popularity of smartphones and other touchscreen devices
|
||||||
|
\cite{gs_statcounter_dmt_2020} which utilize virtual keyboards to fulfill a
|
||||||
|
variety of tasks that also include data entry, e.g., writing text messages,
|

short emails, communicating on social media or web browsing

\section{Literature Review}
|
||||||
|
To better understand which metrics and methods are meaningful in the domain of keyboards and especially when

To investigate whether or not solely the actuation force of individual keys can make a difference in terms of efficiency or satisfaction an ....

\subsection{Keyboards and key switches}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keyboards are well known input devices used to operate a computer. There are a
|
||||||
|
variety of keyboard types and models available on the market, some of which can
|
||||||
|
be seen in Figure \ref{fig:keyboard_models}. The obvious difference between
|
||||||
|
those keyboards in Figure \ref{fig:keyboard_models} is their general
|
||||||
|
appearance. What we see is mainly the general shape of the enclosure and the
|
||||||
|
keycaps, which are the rectangular pieces of plastic on top of the actual
|
||||||
|
keyswitches which indicate which letter, number or symbol, also known as
|
||||||
|
characters, a keypress should send to the computer. These keycaps are mainly
|
||||||
|
made out of the two plastics \gls{ABS} and \gls{PBT} which mainly differ in
|
||||||
|
feel, durability, cost and sound \parencite[8]{bassett_keycap}. Nowadays, there
|
||||||
|
are three main standards for the physical layout of keyboards namely ISO/IEC
|
||||||
|
9995 \cite{iso9995-2}, ANSI-INCITS 154-1988 \cite{ansi-incits-154-1988} and JIS
|
||||||
|
X 6002-1980 \cite{jis-x-6002-1980}, that propose slightly different arrangements
|
||||||
|
of the keys and some even alter the shape of a few keys. Figure
|
||||||
|
TODO\ref{fig:keyboard_ISO_ANSI_JSP} shows the layouts defined by the three
|
||||||
|
standards mentioned and shows the main differences. In addition to the physical
|
||||||
|
layout, there are also various layouts concerning the mapping of the physical
|
||||||
|
key to a character that is displayed by the computer. Most of the time, the
|
||||||
|
mapping happens on the computer via software and therefore the choice of layout
|
||||||
|
is not necessarily restricted by the physical layout of the keyboard but rather
|
||||||
|
a personal preference. As seen in Figure TODO \ref{fig:keyboard_models}, there
|
||||||
|
are also non standard physical layouts available which are often designed to
|
||||||
|
improve the posture of the upper extremity while typing to reduce the risk of
|
||||||
|
injury or even assist in recovering from previous \gls{WRUED}
|
||||||
|
\cite{ripat_ergo}. Those designs often split the keyboard in two halves to
|
||||||
|
reduce ulnar deviation and some designs also allow tenting of the halves or
|
||||||
|
provide a fixed tent which also reduces forearm pronation \cite{baker_ergo,
|
||||||
|
rempel_ergo}. Besides the exterior design of the keyboard, there is another
|
||||||
|
part of interest—the keyswitch. This component of a keyboard actually sends the
|
||||||
|
signal that a key is pressed down. There are different types of keyswitches
|
||||||
|
available to date. The more commonly available ones are scissor switches and
|
||||||
|
rubber dome switches which are both subsets of the membrane switches. Scissor
|
||||||
|
switches are often found in keyboards that are integrated into notebooks while
|
||||||
|
rubber dome switches are mostly used in workplace keyboards. Both variants use a
|
||||||
|
rubber membrane with small domes underneath each key. When a key is pressed, the
|
||||||
|
corresponding dome collapses and because the dome's inner wall is coated with a
|
||||||
|
conductive material, closes an electrical circuit \cite{ergopedia_keyswitch,
|
||||||
|
peery_3d_keyswitch}. Another type of switches are mechanical
|
||||||
|
keyswitches. These switches are frequently used in gaming and high quality
|
||||||
|
workplace keyboards as well as by enthusiast along with prosumers which build
|
||||||
|
and then sell custom made keyboards to the latter audience \cite{bassett_keycap,
|
||||||
|
ergopedia_keyswitch}. These keyswitches are composed of several mechanical
|
||||||
|
parts which can be examined in Figure TODO\ref{fig:mech_keyswitch_dissas}. The
|
||||||
|
housing is made up of two parts, the bottom and top shell. The actual mechanism
|
||||||
|
consists of two conductive plates, which when connected trigger a keypress, a
|
||||||
|
stainless steel spring which defines how much force has to be applied to the
|
||||||
|
switch to activate it and a stem which sits on top of the spring and separates
|
||||||
|
the two plates. When pressure is applied to the keycap, which is connected to
|
||||||
|
the stem, the spring gets contracted and the stem moves downwards and thereby
|
||||||
|
stops separating the two plates which closes the electrical circuit and sends a
|
||||||
|
keypress to the computer. After the key is released, the spring pushes the stem
|
||||||
|
back to its original position \cite{bassett_keycap, peery_3d_keyswitch,
|
||||||
|
ergopedia_keyswitch, chen_mech_switch}. Usually, mechanical keyswitches are
|
||||||
|
directly soldered onto the \gls{PCB} of the keyboard but there are also
|
||||||
|
keyboards where the \gls{PCB} features special sockets where the keyswitches can
|
||||||
|
be hot-swapped without soldering at all \cite{gmmk_hot_swap}. It is also
|
||||||
|
possible to equip an already existing \gls{PCB} with sockets to make it
|
||||||
|
hot-swappable \cite{te_connect}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Mechanical keyswitches also have three main subcategories. Those categories
|
||||||
|
primarily define if and how feedback for a keypress is realised:
|
||||||
|
\begin{enumerate}
|
||||||
|
\item \textbf{Tactile Switches} utilize a small bump on the stem to slightly
|
||||||
|
increase the force required immediately before and a collapse of force right
|
||||||
|
after the actual actuation happens. This provides the typist with a short
|
||||||
|
noticeable haptic feedback and which should encourage a premature release of
|
||||||
|
the key. An early study by Brunner and Richardson suggested, that this
|
||||||
|
feedback leads to faster typing speeds and a lower error rate in both
|
||||||
|
experienced and casual typists (n=24) \cite{brunner_keyswitch}. Contrary, a
|
||||||
|
study by Akagi yielded no significant differences in terms of speed and error
|
||||||
|
rate between tactile and linear keyswitches and links the variation found in
|
||||||
|
error rates to differences in actuation force (n=24)
|
||||||
|
\cite{akagi_keyswitch}. Tactile feedback could still assist the typist to
|
||||||
|
prevent \gls{bottoming}.
|
||||||
|
\item \textbf{Tactile and audible Switches (Clicky)} separate the stem into
|
||||||
|
two parts, the lower part also features a small bump to provide tactile
|
||||||
|
feedback and is also responsible for a distinct click sound when the actuation
|
||||||
|
happens. Gerard et al. noted, that in their study (n=24), keyboards with
|
||||||
|
audible feedback increased typing speed and decreased typing force. This
|
||||||
|
improvement could have been due to the previous experience of participants
|
||||||
|
with keyboards of similar model and keyswitch characteristic
|
||||||
|
\cite{gerard_keyswitch}.
|
||||||
|
\item \textbf{Linear Switches} do not offer a distinct feedback for the
|
||||||
|
typist. The activation of the keyswitch just happens after approximately half
|
||||||
|
the total travel distance. The only tactile feedback that could happen is the
|
||||||
|
impact of \gls{bottoming}, but with enough practice, typist can develop a
|
||||||
|
lighter touch which reduces overall typing force and therefore reduces the
|
||||||
|
risk of \gls{WRUED} \cite{gerard_keyswitch, peery_3d_keyswitch, fagarasanu_force_training}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\end{enumerate}
|
||||||
|
The corresponding force-displacement curves for one exemplary keyswitch of each
|
||||||
|
category are shown in Figure TODO\ref{fig:ks_fd_curves}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All types of keyswitches mentioned so far are available in a myriad of actuation
|
||||||
|
forces. Actuation force, also sometimes referred to as make force, is the force
|
||||||
|
required to activate the keyswitch \cite{radwin_keyswitch,
|
||||||
|
ergopedia_keyswitch}. That means depending on the mechanism used, activation
|
||||||
|
describes the closing of an electrical circuit which then forwards a signal,
|
||||||
|
that is then processed by a controller inside of the keyboard and then forwarded
|
||||||
|
to the computer. The computer then registers the character depending on the
|
||||||
|
layout used by the user. Previous studies have shown, that actuation force has
|
||||||
|
an impact on error rate, subjective discomfort, muscle activity and force
|
||||||
|
applied by the typist \cite{akagi_keyswitch, gerard_keyswitch,
|
||||||
|
hoffmann_typeright} and as suggested by Loricchio, has a moderate impact on
|
||||||
|
typing speed, which could be more significant with greater variation of
|
||||||
|
actuation force across tested keyboards \cite{loricchio_force_speed}.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\subsubsection{Relevance for this thesis}
|
||||||
|
Since this thesis is focused around keyboards and especially the relation
|
||||||
|
between the actuation force of the keyswitch and efficiency (speed, error rate)
|
||||||
|
and also the differences in satisfaction while using keyswitches with varying
|
||||||
|
actuation forces, it was important to evaluate different options of keyswitches
|
||||||
|
that could be used to equip the keyboards used in the experiment. The literature
|
||||||
|
suggested, that the most common switch types used in the broader population are
|
||||||
|
rubber dome and scissor switches \cite{ergopedia_keyswitch,
|
||||||
|
peery_3d_keyswitch}. Naturally, those keyswitches should also be used in the
|
||||||
|
study, but one major problem due to the design of those keyswitches arises. It
|
||||||
|
is not easily possible to alter the actuation force of individual keyswitches
|
||||||
|
\cite{peery_3d_keyswitch}. This will be necessary to create a keyboard where
|
||||||
|
each key should have an adjusted actuation force depending on the finger that
|
||||||
|
normally operates it. It should be mentioned, that it is theoretically possible
|
||||||
|
to exchange individual rubber dome switches on some keyboards, e.g. keyboards
|
||||||
|
with \gls{Topre} switches, but the lacking availability of compatible keyboards
|
||||||
|
and especially the limited selection of actuation forces (30g to 55g for
|
||||||
|
\gls{Topre} \cite{realforce_topre}) makes this not a viable option for this
|
||||||
|
thesis \cite{keychatter_topre}. Therefore, we decided to use mechanical
|
||||||
|
keyswitches for our experiment, because these keyswitches are broadly available
|
||||||
|
in a variety of actuation forces and because the spring which mainly defines the
|
||||||
|
actuation force can be easily replaced with any other compatible spring on the
|
||||||
|
market, the selection of actuation forces is much more appropriate for our use
|
||||||
|
case (30g to 150g) \cite{peery_3d_keyswitch}. We also decided to use linear
|
||||||
|
switches because they closest resemble the feedback of the more wide spread
|
||||||
|
rubber dome switches. Further, linear switches do not introduce additional
|
||||||
|
factors beside the actuation force to the experiment. In addition, based on the
|
||||||
|
previous research we settled on using a keyboard model with hot-swapping
|
||||||
|
capabilities for our experiment to reduce the effort required to equip each
|
||||||
|
keyboard with the required keyswitches and in case a keyswitch fails during
|
||||||
|
the experiment, decrease the time required to replace the faulty switch.

||||||

\subsection{Measurement of keyboard related metrics}
|
||||||
|
A common way to compare different methods concerning alphanumeric input in terms
|
||||||
|
of efficiency is to use one of many typing test applications which are
|
||||||
|
commercially available. Depending on the software used and the experimental
|
||||||
|
setup, users have to input different kinds of text, either for a predefined time
|
||||||
|
or the time is measured till the whole text is transcribed \cite{chen_typing_test}.
