Abstract

Working in today’s corporate world requires users to switch between keyboard and mouse constantly. According to a survey conducted, an average user switches between keyboard and mouse 90 times in an hour. These frequent switches cause several discomforts to the user and the user’s efficiency takes a major fall. Use of touchpad in place of mouse is one another major setback. It has been noticed that a user switching from mouse/touchpad to keyboard and vice versa consumes time in completing a task as compared to a user depending entirely on keyboard.
