Finger friendly
September 1st 2011

Stafford-based P C D Maltron has announced a major order from Turkey for 350 of its special-needs keyboards comprising 70 sets of five different keyboards.

Each set of five comprises singlehanded keyboards for left-hand use or right-hand use, a dual-handed 'finger friendly' keyboard with proven ergonomic benefits, a head/mouth stick keyboard for those who cannot use their arms and the Expanded keyboard that is suitable for those experiencing visual or muscular control problems.

The single-handed keyboards offer the most commonly used keys close together to prevent hunting as defined by the standard qwerty system. The strongest digit, the thumb, is used to particular advantage.

Head/mouth stick keyboards have been developed using the same key layout to lead to minimal stick movement as keys are used.
