In the age of tablets and smartphones, virtual keyboards are important for fast and easy typing. Because most screens are delicate and most of the time small, having a keyboard that you can carry all the time will make it much easier to type normally anywhere.

A laser projection keyboard is a new projection technology innovation that features a virtual keyboard layout on a flat plane. This keyboard will allow you to type anytime, anywhere without cables or even heavy devices. A small device projects the keyboard onto flat, non-reflective areas such as tables, reading stands, and surfaces.

Benefits of laser projection keyboards

With this technology, keyboards are now portable and can be taken anywhere without having to carry large amounts of tools. Virtual laser keyboards can be used with iPhones, Androids, Blackberries, and many other types of smartphones that are already on the market.

The virtual keyboard reflects the full QWERTY keys in the area using a red diode laser. This type of laser does not use switches or any kind of moving physical component to function. It sits on a square bottom connected to a smartphone or PDA via USB cables or Bluetooth technology.

Every letter you type on the laser keyboard will be recorded in your word processor, email, or any type of program that requires typing. It works like a normal computer keyboard that you use. It is simply lightweight, smaller in size, and most of the time more responsive. In fact, it can also produce lifelike recording sounds like those you commonly hear on regular keyboards.

With a virtual keyboard, you can make the most of your typing space. Smartphones, tablets, and PDAs generally come with small touch-screen keyboards. This is why people with fat fingers have a hard time writing. Projected keyboards offer larger keys that are almost equal to the typical dimensions of a PC keyboard.

Laser keyboards are also easier to maintain because you don’t really have to clean anything. These keyboards have no cables or other moving parts to manage and clean. Virtual keyboards are never affected by spilled liquid and other factors that could affect a typical computer keyboard.

Disadvantages of laser projection keywords

These keyboards also have their drawbacks. Virtual keyboards are very difficult to take outdoors because it is difficult to have a flat surface outside. On top of that, excessive lighting, specifically ultraviolet light from sunlight, makes it difficult to see the keyboard. Sometimes reflection also affects your writing because most surfaces have some level of reflection.

In general, using a laser projection keyboard is beneficial in many ways. It may have some downsides, but just like other devices, you have to handle these downsides, especially if you can make your life a lot simpler in return.
