“…Additional feedback (visual, auditory or kinesthetic) does not appear to improve performance on conventional push-button keyboards (Alden et al, 1972). Deininger (1960) found that snap-action (an increase in required force followed by a sharp decrease in force during a keystroke) and audible tones did not affect keying speed, error rates or operator preference on push-button telephones. Similarly, Pollard and Cooper (1979) studied the effects of several types of tonal-feedback (no tone, an 820 Hz single tone and a click-on-depression) and found no significant differences among conditions during push-button keying tasks.…”

This study investigated the effects of visual and tactile key discrimination and kinesthetic and auditory feedback on membrane keypads. More specifically, metal domes, embossed key edges and tone were examined. Fortyeight subjects were used in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design with two levels of key discrimination (with and without embossed key edges), two levels of kinesthetic feedback (with and without metal domes), and two levels of auditory feedback (with and without a 1000 Hz tone). Several types of preference scales along with keying time and error rate were used as comparative measures. Results indicated that key discrimination provided by embossed key edges and feedback provided by metal domes and auditory tones had significant effect on keying performance and operator ratings of membrane keypads. Auditory feedback paired with tactile and/or kinesthetic feedback yielded the best performance and preference scores.

“…Research to date has extensively explored variables concerned with mechanical push-buttons (Deininger, 1960;Alden, Daniels & Kanarick, 1972). A number of human factors handbooks provide detailed data and design principles covering the area (Seibel, 1972;Woodson, 1981).…”

Many recent studies of keyboard entry are summarized with particular emphasis on performance data and fundamental questions about the design of keyboards. The role of auditory and visual feedback and physiological measurements are reviewed. Typical speed and error rates are given for several types of situations and operators. Other methods of data entry are considered, as are source documents, ordering of keys, keyboard interlocks, and chord keyboards. These data should be of interest to anyone concerned with the design and use of keyboards or other data entry devices.
