Greetings, there has been a discussion here on who might be target user of redesigned optimized keyboards (lay-outs) here: professional typist or the one who is about to get familiar with typing with keyboards?! that is if I'm optimizing a keyboard in user centred design process, which of those two should be the one who gets involved in UCD iterative process and gathering feedbacks. One side says: if a professional typist could type with some optimized lay-out well, then the one with less knowledge of computer should enter text well too; the other side says vice versa. I am saying which one would bear more cognitive load while using keyboards? and also which type of target user is less straight-forward using keyboard and faces interruptions inter-acting with non-optimized keyboards? definitely the one who is struggling typing, and not the pro.! any idea on this topic would help us to see what others comment and think.
