ABSTRACT:
A keyboard arranged for enhanced typing speed and easy memorization includes a home row provided with a series of simple words which incorporate the most commonly used letters of the alphabet. Arranged in a central zone above the home row are tab and delete keys, to allow for faster and easier utilization. Various word processing function and symbol keys are placed along the top row and down opposing sides of the keyboard. Each symbol and function key can preferably perform multiple functions, when pressed along with one of various shift command keys. Preferably, three different shift command keys are located at a bottom central portion of the keyboard, along with enter and space keys.
