Assistive technology for computer users with hand tremors

Assistive technology has come a long way in recent years, with some weird and wonderful gadgets for all types of disabilities. But disability products don't have to be complicated and expensive to achieve the desired results.

See, find and press
Large key keyboards are a simple and inexpensive solution for those with physical challenges wishing to use a computer.

Maintaining the standard size of a keyboard and only enlarging the keys, means the large print keyboard is an attractive and discreet solution. This makes it popular within modern office environments and appealing to those who wish to retain to look and feel of a standard keyboard.

Make IT easier
Keytools can offer a wide range of technology solutions which can help "make IT easier". Choose from a range of assistive mice, keyboards and software which can be adapted to suit your needs.

BigKeys
BigKeys
keyboards are standard size keyboards with one inch square keys, making them easier to see, find and press. Keytools offer 18 models with various lowercase and colour keysets.

Prevent accidental keystrokes
The extra benefit of a having a BigKeys keyboard is the keyguard which Keytools is also able to offer. Users with hand tremors will find the BigKeys keyguard very helpful in aiming the finger at the right key, and giving some support to the hand. The polished rounded holes guide the finger to the correct keys and the sturdy keyguard provides support for the hands while the correct key is located.

Roller Plus Joystick
Compared to a standard mouse, this joystick requires very little energy to operate. Other mice or trackballs require lots of pushing to move the mouse around. The Roller Joystick just needs holding in the direction that you want the cursor to travel - and the computer does all the hard work.

The RollerPlus Joystick is supplied with a removable finger-guard which helps locate the correct switch and avoids pressing the wrong keys. There are also ability switch sockets to assist impaired hand control.

Keytools have over 20 years experience in helping people use computers productively and efficiently. Call us on 023 8029 4500 for help and advice.
