The special keyboards which you'll find will help you the most if you type with one
hand or have hand mobility issues are Comfort Keyboards and the keyboards listed to the right. We also like LittleFingers keyboards and Zippy slim mini-keyboard wk 610 but they're no longer being made, so get something
else from the list to the right. These have smaller keys that require less
finger stretching, or closer together keys, or both.
If you have
no hand use/mobility issues, just get a normal bigger keyboard, but if you do have
issues, use these keyboards to minimize your problems.
If you lie
on one side, the stilt keyboard is a great help. For that you need the Comfort Ergonomic keyboard. Again, if you type with one hand or have hand mobility issues the smaller keyboards
at right are best. Just imagine the shoulder and wrist stresses if you have
to move hand or wrist or forearm sideways in between letters!
You
may also need a Marble Mouse trackball. This is important if you'll have no room to operate a mouse, so that your only
choices are trackballs like Marble Mouse, Touchpads (see list at right), built-in
pointing devices (see list at right) and MouseKeys (the keyboard keys move and
click the mouse). For a good Microsoft MouseKeys primer, search for MouseKeys
at Microsoft. |
