TypeRight: A Keyboard With Tactile Error Prevention

When typing a text on a keyboard several typing errors can occur, such as accidentally pressing the Caps Lock key, swapping letters, or pressing two keys at the same time. TypeRight is a new tactile input device for text entry that prevents users from typing errors, instead of reporting them only after they have been made.

TypeRight extends a standard computer keyboard so that it consists of keys with dynamically adjustable pressure sensitivity. Blocking algorithms make those keys significantly harder to press that would lead to a typing error or misspelling. In that way each key provides immediate tactile feedback and prevents users from making mistakes.
