The invention is a system comprised of a suite of tools and steps resulting in solutions and component attributes to optimally produce a writing instrument to serve the need for a small keypad on electronic devices in a global marketplace. Qwerty was designed for the mechanical typewriter age with an ad hoc arrangement of letters, which inhibits the invention of new devices. OrrPad maximizes motor-skill on the small platform to optimize a digital writing instrument for electronic interface, that best accommodates the world's writing systems, permitting a vast new ecosystem of devices. OrrPad meets the motor-skill and language needs for new devices and emerging global marketplace far better than Qwerty. Its small platform and optimized motor-skill allows typing accuracy on small devices, not possible with a micro-Qwerty, resulting in new devices and the possibility of an education in the pocket of billions of children worldwide, which the too-wide, two-handed, inherently poor motor-skill Qwerty prohibits. Children do not need a big two-handed keyboard, just an OrrPad as a typing device that enables proper and accurate typing, in the world's languages; that stores lessons in its drive, and serve as a combination mouse-keyboard that can connect to other PCs, monitors or web without the need for a big PC, separate mouse or big keyboard. Orr Pad keypad design logic is analogously equivalent to the potential benefits of proposing a metric standard of measurement over the arbitrary medieval standard of inches and feet. The Orr Pad system allows the construction of a matrix of human language on a tiny keypad that can fit on the increasing array of electronic devices, with one hardware software worldwide where each language is organized in a common way so memory-friendly that user can cognitively memorize the layout scheme at first use- in any language. The Orr pad system provides a writing instrument and communication tool for the electronic age in a global communication era.
