If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools! As an indispensable input device for computers, what kind of keyboard is most comfortable and efficient to use? It should meet three constraints: manual characteristics, language rules, and usage habits.
Human hand characteristics : left and right symmetric; the middle finger is the longest and thickest, followed by the index finger and ring finger, and the little finger is the shortest and thinnest (excluding the thumb). Corresponding ergonomic keyboard: the left and right keys are symmetrical, and the index finger keys are lower than the middle finger keys.

Sorted letters are easier to remember than out-of-order letters.

The alphabetical arrangement rules are: consonants are on the left vowel on the right, high-frequency letters are on the positioned row, and continuous letters are on the same row or in the same column.

Extreme efficiency, each finger has a balanced frequency of keystrokes! You can directly enter the English letter pair ng, ts, rst or Chinese vowel ai, ei, ie, an, en, in, ang, eng, ing. The frequency of keystrokes of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger is relatively balanced, and the small finger is the lowest.

Left and left Ctrl keys move down, and are caught by the thumb.
Symbol key : 6 commonly used symbols "question mark? Colon: exclamation mark! Brackets () double quotes"" are changed to subscript symbols, and you can enter without pressing the shift key. Use less symbols as superscripts. arithmetic operators "+-" and "*/" are set in pairs, and the relationship operator "=" is in one column for easy memory use. 2 symbols have been added: interval number "·", degree "°". Logical operators ~^| are arranged from left to right by priority.
numeric keypad : numeric keypad on the left, mouse on the right. Enter the number with the left hand and use the mouse with the right hand.
Shortcut keys, symbols : 8 shortcut keys include: Undo, Select All, Restore Redo, Cut Cut, Copy Copy, Paste, Screenshot PrtSc (Win10 only), Save. " comma , equal sign =", used to quickly enter formulas and coordinates.
The keyboard that meets 3 constraints has been launched.Guangzhou Yelong Technology Co., Ltd.'s continuous keyboard is an ergonomic keyboard that is based on the continuous letter layout and symmetric keypad suitable for "Chinese Pinyin and English" input, and is fully optimized for function keys, symbol keys and shortcut keys. 80 keys in the primary key area. 20 numeric keypads.
