To 10 Key or not to 10-Key….that is the mathematical question

Shakespeare the innovator

Today, many everyday English phrases and expressions were in fact coined or invented by Shakespeare himself. Before Shakespeare’s time, the English language was, in general, not standardized. His works had a major influence on the English language and contributed to the standardization of grammar, spelling, and vocabulary. In fact, he invented over 1700 of our common words by changing nouns into verbs, verbs into adjectives, connecting words never used together before, adding prefixes and suffixes, and devising completely new words.

I wonder if William Shakespeare were alive today would he use a traditional keyboard with a 10 key?

The majority of the population is right handed and have to reach great distances in order to grasp a mouse.  Over time this can lead to shoulder, arm and wrist discomfort.

There is a need for a 10 key especially in the areas of finance and for those who rely heavily on spreadsheets.  To avoid shoulder, arm, and wrist discomfort, here are the compact keyboards with 10-keys that we recommend and am sure that Shakespeare would use.
