Features Size and position of non-crucial keys The Esc, Function, Page (Up, Down), Arrow (Up, Down, Left, Right), Insert, Delete, Home, and End keys on the OnBoard Travel Keyboard are smaller than on a standard desktop keyboard. Some of them are in non-standard positions, but they are easy to find. In fact, if you have ever had the experience of accidentally hitting the insert key when you meant to hit the backspace key and then you started overwriting text, you may be glad not to have

Features Why the OnBoard Travel Keyboard is easier to use than a laptop keyboard Most people find that their typing productivity (speed and accuracy) is lower on a laptop keyboard than on a desktop keyboard. They have to type more slowly on a laptop keyboard in order to maintain the same accuracy, otherwise they have to spend a lot of time correcting mistakes. Although there is a difference in feel between the “membrane” switch mechanism typically used inside desktop keyboard keys and

Features Standard desktop keyboard keycaps look something like this: Standard laptop keyboard keycaps look something like this: Note three things about these keycaps: 1) Desktop keyboard keycaps are more concave on the top than most laptop keyboard keycaps. 2) A desktop keyboard keycap is taller than a laptop keyboard keycap. Desktop and laptop keyboard keycaps have nearly identical widths at the top and at the base of the keycap, but because a desktop keyboard keycap is tall

Features Most laptop keyboard keycaps are less concave on the top than desktop keyboard keycaps, therefore it is a little harder for your fingers to find and stay in the center of these flatter laptop keyboard keycaps. So let’s see what happens if you hit a key off center. When you push a key on a desktop keyboard, your fingertip remains above the widest part (the base) of the adjacent keycap when the key is pushed all the way down. So even if you hit it off center, you are unlikely to

Features So, on a laptop keyboard, when you hit a keycap off center, your finger is more likely to also hit the adjacent keycap than it would on a desktop keyboard. Furthermore, you are also more likely to actually engage that adjacent key because it does not have to travel as far as a desktop keycap travels to actually engage and send a keystroke command to your computer! So, in summary, a laptop keyboard is less efficient to use because: • It is harder for your finger to find and stay

Features Other features of the OnBoard Travel Keyboard Small Footprint The minimal size frame of the OnBoard Travel Keyboard occupies very little space on your work surface, so you should find it very convenient to place it right in front of your laptop computer. If you like this small “footprint” so much that you would like to use the OnBoard Travel Keyboard with a desktop computer, you may need to use a USB “A” male to USB “A” female” extension cable (“A” refers to the type of USB co

Slide the cover off the keyboard by holding the keyboard in your left hand and using your right hand to slide the cover off to the right.
