Easy-to-use keyboard
Many seniors can benefit from an easy-to-use keyboard. We offer the BigKeys LX keyboard. This keyboard has keys which are four times bigger than most keyboards and the labels on the keys are printed in high contrast with big and bold letters. The keyboard works well for people who have low vision because its easier for them to see the keys.
The BigKeys LX Keyboard is also great for people who find regular keys too small and fussy. BigKeys can help you if you have:
- Limited manual dexterity
- Weak muscles in your fingers, wrist, or forearm
- Arthritis
- Rheumatism
- Tremor
The keyboard also has a clever feature - pressing a key will produce only one letter, no matter how long you hold down the key, this makes the keyboard work well for people who have a little more trouble pressing and releasing the keys.
For someone who is not used to the QWERTY key layout, you can reconfigure the layout to ABC! Simply set the switch on the back of the keyboard to ‘ABC’, then pull off the keycaps off the keyboard and rearrange them to ABC layout.
The keyboard is available in two versions - Black letters on white keys, and white letters on black keys. People with low vision eye conditions may find the white letters on black keys easier to see.
You can purchase the BigKeys LX keyboard on our webstore.
