Why did touchpad of laptop doesn't work with nail?
Capacitance occurs when the tip of a finger meets the screen because the finger is electrically conductive and a human nail is not. . . or, I should say the nail is greatly resistant to the conduction of electricity and that is why it is not detected when touching the screen.
Why are there two enter keys on the keyboard?
By putting these keys at both the right end and the left end of the keyboard, they can be easily reached by either the right hand or the left hand. There are some letters that you would type with your right hand and some that you would type with your left (at least, if you really know how to type!) and you can type a capital letter easily in either case, since whichever hand is not being used to type the letter can still easily reach the shift key.

Why we need two pairs of numeric keys in keyboard?
Near the top of the keyboard was the original place for the numerical keys, and still is, but a second set of these keys is find on the right side of the keyboard (or hidden on a few of the letter keys if it's not there) so that people can type numbers with one hand at an increased speed if, for whatever reason, they are typing a lot of numbers at the same time.
Why would you change the keyboard typematic rate?
The speed of your typing is related to the speed setting of your keyboard. If you set it to slow, you'll be like a snail. If you want to act like a Maserati on the keyboard, you need the engines tuned. Set your keyboard to fast so you don't sit there and wait for it. And if it's too fast for you, leave it on anyway and get used to it. You'll be the better for it.

How do you raise letters on a computer keyboard?
If you're not asking how companies that make keyboards produce raised letters on the keys, then please be more specific.
There are a couple of ways this could be done.
The letters could be molded in. I'm not aware that anyone actually does this, but it would work.
The ink used to paint the letters on has a certain thickness after it dries. By carefully choosing the ink used, this can produce noticeably raised letters.

What is another name for caps Lock key?
The another name for the caps lock key is shift lock key. When typewriters were first invented there was no standard arrangement of the letters on the keys. Originally, it made a lot of sense: in a mechanical typewriter the Shift keys did just that: they shifted the type mechanism vertically so the type bars would hit the paper with the uppercase letters; and the Shift Lock key would keep the keys locked in this position. This key had to sit right above the Shift key, because it physically latched it in a depressed position; hitting Shift again would release the lock. It was very easy to see (and feel) whether Shift was locked or not, because both keys would be depressed when the lock was engaged. Early computer keyboards carried this idea forward, with a Shift Lock or Caps Lock key that had two physical positions: depressed for Lock, and flush with the other keys when released. Later, as keyboard makers sacrificed quality for cheap manufacturing, the more complex and different two-state key was replaced with a momentary key called Caps Lock or Shif Lock key.
I don't see manufacturers giving us back the 2-position key (it would cost them a few cents, after all), but the least you may be unaware that depressing Shift+F3 repeatedly will change any selected text to lowercase, uppercase, and sentence case.
