A Survey of Manual Input Devices (original) (raw)

This survey explores various manual input devices used in computer applications, categorizing interactions into command selection, command response, and data input. Key properties of these devices, including sampling rate, latency, noise, positional modes, and gain, are analyzed to understand their impact on user performance. The paper also discusses the limitations of different types of input devices, such as soft keyboards and handwriting recognition, and examines the technological advances in touch screen technologies.
