This question is the most-cited one related to keyboards. Here we’ll look at why people believe that two keyboards can match, and how that can be achieved.

Two keyboards can match

The first kind of keyboard to match has nothing to do with the keycap or the switches, but rather with the layout. The keyboard with the best layout can match the keyboard with a layout that is more difficult. Most keyboarders believe that the difference is due to mechanical constraints and the layout. But even with mechanical constraints, we can match a keyboard with a layout that’s easy to read, and easier to press with a light touch, thanks to a layout that is both comfortable and convenient.

If we look at the keyboard in the diagram on the right, the first key (the lower left in this diagram) is at the location where the fingers naturally press the button at (the upper-left position in the diagram). The second key (the lower right in this diagram) is at the location where the thumb naturally pushes the button.

The two parts of the layout are linked by an axis. As the finger can only move in one direction, the axis must be a straight line, so the axis is always at the same height. It is the same in all keyboards, but in fact, as the finger can only move in one direction (this happens with the thumb and index finger), the axis should be parallel to the same degree of its own thickness.

The difference between a keyboard with a flat keyboard board and one with rounded or curved board is a different axis, which is perpendicular to the axis of the thumb. Therefore, unlike with the flat layout, the curve can’t touch the axis; it lies at a different height, so it is not at the height of the axis. The distance between the axis and the angle of the curve is also different in both flat and curved keyboards. It depends on the level of the curve. If the curve is straight, then the difference between
