New “Keys-U-See” Large Print Keyboard Is Easy To See, Easy To Read
The new Keys-U-See large print keyboard from The Key Connection addresses the needs of the visually impaired computer user.
Cottonwood, AZ (PRWEB) August 13, 2005 -- One in twenty Americans experience
some level of visual impairment due to low vision, eye disease, or advancing
age. For these people, using a computer is just one of the many activities that
can become frustrating, because the print on a standard keyboard is usually too
small to be easily seen. One solution, of course, is a keyboard with larger
print.
The new Keys-U-See large print keyboard (www.keys-u-see.com),
introduced this month by The Key Connection, is designed specifically to reduce
the stress and strain a visually impaired person has to grapple with when he or
she is using a computer. From the ABCs to the numbers and the punctuation marks,
each key in the keyboard is labeled with the largest print that will fit the
keycap. The Keys-U-See keyboard has provided the largest print available on a
standard-size computer keyboard.
This user-friendly keyboard also has
hot keys for emailing and navigating the internet and multi-media control keys.
Power control and energy-saving options are also right on the keyboard. Another
useful feature is that the directional navigation keys (or arrow keys) are
molded so that each is recognizable by touch. The Keys-U-See keyboard is
available in ivory with large black print, black with large white print for low
light situations, and also black with yellow keys and large black print. Note
that these color combinations are chosen for their visibility factor.
Unlike most specialty products that are normally priced higher than
their run-of-the-mill cousins, the $34.95 price of the Keys-U-See keyboard is
right for the pocket book, and lower than many other standard keyboards on the
market.
With all it has going for it, the Keys-U-See keyboard is sure to
gain quick acceptance, if not advocacy, among senior citizens, low vision
organizations, schools and other educational establishments. And for companies
and government departments implementing Assistive Technology adaptations in the
workplace, Keys-U-See is an affordable solution.
For the millions of
visually impaired persons, The Keys-U-See keyboard makes using the computer easy
again!
