Crocodile Keyboards
Crocodile keyboards make use of a new design for touch screen qwerty keyboards for use on small handheld devices such as mobile phones and PDA's.
The basic concept is to change the square shaped keys to a shape approximating that of a triangle and laid out in a staggered fashion as seen below.
Open this page with a mobile phone browser to see how it looks on the phone and compare with your default keyboard.
This can obviously be used in various sizes and helps to stop double hitting of keys and gives a very clear indication of where the key is as the area around the key becomes a triangular guide. This is of great benefit for people who are not blessed with small fingers or have any visual impairment.
Full size keyboards can also receive the Crocodile treatment as it takes up less space.
Crocodile Keyboards Limited is the holding company for a UK patent application for this idea and is interested in licensing it to companies where this design may be beneficial to their products and end users.
