Determining by a keyboard the pressure that an operator exerts on individual keys of the keyboard and immediately alerting the operator if the pressure is excessive. In a first embodiment, the keyboard alerts the operator to excessive pressure by means of an audio alarm. In a second embodiment, the keyboard transmits the pressure information to a connected computer. The computer can alert the operator with an audio message or alert the operator by displaying the alerting information on the computer screen being utilized by the operator. By alerting the user in these manners, the operator is provided feedback that is immediate and consistent. This allows the operator to modify their behavior so that they no longer misuse the keyboard by striking the keys hard. In addition, an operator may onlystrike certain keys with excessive force. In the second embodiment, the connected computer is responsive to the key pressure information to maintain statistics indicating which keys are been excessively struck. The operator can then access the statistics in order to assist the operator in correcting the problem of striking the keys too hard.
