  • Abstract
    A Keyboard is not all about to operate fingers on it and type paragraphs. There has to be an obvious concern of smooth typing speed to measure the efficiency and standard as these findings are also related to health. This paper presents a comparative study of Bangla keyboards to find out an efficient layout. Dvorak and Turkish keyboard philosophy are followed to perform the typing test. Necessary tables and graphical representations are provided to justify the findings.
