The effect of keyboard size on typing rates is investigated. Four key-board sizes, ranging from 7 to 25cm wide, were used by both novices and experienced users. Novices typed between 10 and 20 words per minute (WPM) depending on the size of the keyboard. Experienced users typed between 20 and 30 WPM. A brief demonstration of the four keyboards is given followed by an overview of the experimental results.
