Abstract:
A keyboard operates by having a light beam reflected off a finger. When present, as indicated by the presence of the reflected light beam, the keyboard key location is sent to a PC or other device. The keyboard can be used in bright sunlight and total darkness. The keyboard has a one piece planar top surface with no opening or microbial (bacterial or viral) harbors.
