Island keyboard is a keyboard style designed to meet the comfort requirements.

In order to make notebook computers easier to use and more comfortable, manufacturers have also made great efforts in the design of keyboards. Today's notebook keyboards have developed three commonly used keyboard styles: "chocolate", "island" and "duckweed".

Island keyboards, which are also called island keyboards, Ziklaette keyboards and freestanding keyboards, are all of the same type. Island keyboards are generally considered as "extremely simple and modern in design", which is characterized by separate keys, so it is easier to identify and type. However, compared with the traditional keyboard, this keyboard has both advantages and disadvantages in terms of "easy typing".

Advantages of the island keyboard:

At present, the island keyboard is the most widely used keyboard type of notebook computers, especially in thin and light notebooks and ultrabooks that pursue extreme thinness. The overall thickness of the island keyboard is low, which is beneficial to the notebook computer to compress the body thickness, and there are obvious gaps between the keys, which can reduce the input errors caused by accidental touch.

Compared with the chocolate keyboard, the island keyboard enlarges the gap between keys, just like floating islands. Another advantage is that the keys are closed, and dust is not easy to enter under the keyboard. Because of this, the keyboard is welcomed by most users.

island keyboards can be subdivided into planar island keyboards and curved island keyboards. The curved island keyboards increase the surface area of keys by optimizing the keyboard, and the most representative one is ThinkPad.
