Computer Applications to Business
Using the Keyboard And Mouse

The Keyboard
• The most common input device– Must be proficient with keyboard– Skill of typing is called keyboarding
![Page 3: Lecture 05-06](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681679a550346895ddcd791/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• A standard computer keyboard has about 100 keys.
• Most keyboards use the QWERTY layout, named for the first six keys in the top row of letters.
The Keyboard - Standard Keyboard Layout
![Page 4: Lecture 05-06](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681679a550346895ddcd791/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
5. Cursor-movement keys
4. Modifier keys
3. Function keys
2. Numeric keypad
1. Alphanumeric keys
Most keyboards have keys arranged in five groups:

• The keyboard controller detects the keystroke.
• The controller places a scan code in the keyboard buffer, indicating which key was pressed.
• The keyboard sends the computer an interrupt request, telling the CPU to accept the keystroke.
When you press a key:
The Keyboard - How a Keyboard Works
![Page 7: Lecture 05-06](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681679a550346895ddcd791/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How the Computer Accepts Input from the Keyboard
• Keyboard controller• Keyboard buffer• Scan code• Interrupt request

The Mouse
• All modern computers have a variant• Allows users to select objects– Pointer moved by the mouse
• Mechanical mouse– Rubber ball determines direction and speed– The ball often requires cleaning
![Page 10: Lecture 05-06](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681679a550346895ddcd791/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

The Mouse
• Optical mouse– Light shown onto mouse pad– Reflection determines speed and direction– Requires little maintenance
![Page 11: Lecture 05-06](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681679a550346895ddcd791/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

The Mouse
• Interacting with a mouse– Actions involve pointing to an object– Clicking selects the object– Clicking and holding drags the object– Releasing an object is a drop– Right clicking activates the shortcut menu– Modern mice include a scroll wheel
![Page 12: Lecture 05-06](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681679a550346895ddcd791/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

The Mouse
• Benefits– Pointer positioning is fast– Menu interaction is easy– Users can draw electronically

13
The Mouse
• Mouse button configuration– Configured for a right-handed user• Can be reconfigured
– Between 1 and 6 buttons – Extra buttons are configurable

Variants of the Mouse
• Trackballs– Upside down mouse– Hand rests on the ball– User moves the ball– Uses little desk space
![Page 15: Lecture 05-06](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681679a550346895ddcd791/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Variants of the Mouse
• Track pads– Also called touchpad– Stationary pointing device– Small plastic rectangle– Finger moves across the pad– Pointer moves with the pointer– Popular on laptops

16
Variants of the Mouse
• Track point– Little joystick on the keyboard– Move pointer by moving the joystick

Ergonomics and Input Devices
• Ergonomics– Study of physical relationship between human and
their tools such as computers.– Concerned with physical interaction– Attempts to improve safety and comfort

Ergonomics and Input Devices
• Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)– Caused by continuous misuse of the body– Many professions suffer from RSI
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome– Carpal tunnel is a passage in the wrist– Holds nerves and tendons– Prolonged keyboarding swells tendons

Ergonomics and Input Devices
• Office hardware suggestions– Office chairs should have• Adjustable armrests and height• Armrests• Lower back support
– Desks should have• Have a keyboard tray• Keep hands at keyboard height• Place the monitor at eye level
