Keyboards & Standards

Have you really thought about keyboards before? Do you know what type of keyboard you're using? We mentioned QWERTY before, as well as Full Size vs Tenkeyless vs other sizes (like 80%, 75%, 60%, etc).

Do you know if your keyboard matches the ISO, ANSI, or JIS standards? Do you even know what those are? There's a good chance this is the first time you've ever heard of them.

Check out the graphic on the right, which one looks most like ours?

Keyboards Only?

Standards like JIS, ANSI, and OSHA aren't just about keyboards. They affect a broad variety of products, as well as the industries that create them. Let's learn a bit more about these types of standards.

Safety Recommendations

Let's look at some of the general safety recommendations for work places, as well as for offices specifically. Many classes in schools will have a good bit of similarity to an office environment, and if you have a desk or spot for homework in your room or in your home, there may be some similarity there as well.
