Applications: These findings may influence keyboard standards and the design of keyboards.
Usability study results show that the design creates realistic haptic feedback that users rate equivalent to haptic feedback on traditional rubber-dome keyboards, and better than haptic feedback on other keypads, keyboards, or electronic devices that are currently on the market.
The experimental evidence reveals the existence of a purely mechanical 1/f noise component in the membrane motion of condenser microphones.
Buckling spring keyboards have better feedback characteristics, which may be responsible for a decrease in the amount of typing force and EMG produced.

On the other hand, because soft keyboards lack haptic feedback, users often produce more typing errors.
Soft keyboards, because of their ease of installation and lack of reliance on specific hardware, are a promising solution as an input device for many languages.
In conclusion, these small differences indicate that using ultra-low travel keyboards may not have substantial differences in biomechanical exposures and typing performance compared to conventional keyboard; however, the subjective responses indicated that the ultra-low keyboards with the shortest key travel tended to be the least preferred.
These studies demonstrate the inferiority of alphabetically organized keyboards as compared with a randomly organized keyboard and the standard Sholes (qwerty) keyboard.
Results show that standard soft keyboards perform best, even at small space allocations.
Since onscreen keyboards compete with other user interface elements for limited screen space, it is essential that soft keyboard designs are optimally laid out.
