A touch keyboard is a keyboard that does not have physical keys. Instead, each key actuates when it is touched.

This is in stark contrast to the touch typing method where physical keys are touched when the fingers are resting.

Touch keyboards can be:

  • Implemented in software on a touch screen.
  • As a slate with printed keys as in the case of the FingerWorks TouchStream line of keyboards.
  • On any surface, such as with "Laser keyboard"

Touch keyboards are sometimes also pointing devices.
