This is a wonderful alternative keyboard for those with vision impairments, and/or physical and/or cognitive disabilities.  Along with my Spell-A-Word software, or Q&A for more advanced, it's a great tool for early letter users or emergent literacy!

All keys are easy to see: 1-inch square! 4 times normal size.

Full tactile feedback, just like regular keys. 

Easy-to-read key labels (large black printing on bright-white keys, or white characters on black keys; I find the mutli-colored keys distracting but you may find otherwise).

LX Contains all essential characters: 97 character keyset. Compatible with all major software packages. (<Alt> key = Command key, <Ins> key = Option on USB Macs)

"I strongly recommend the colored rows option, QWERTY.  Telling a learner "It's on the blue row, when they're searching for a key, really helps!  And in all my years of doing this (21 now), I've only seen a couple of learners actually use ABC-order to find a key." (RJ Cooper)

Doing assessments around the USA all year, I got tired of either constantly prompting a learner to use the correct hand for each side of the keyboard, or trying to 'catch' him/her as he/she crossed that invisible line separating the halves.  With my Separator, the learner catches themself 'crossing over' and self-corrects.  It works a great deal of the time!  It is bright red, solid metal, and adheres with super-strong Velcro that the learner cannot pull off.

Special software below for Windows or Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X accompanies keyboard that allows user to perform all mouse actions by keystrokes!  Mac OS 9 and OS X software maps <Alt> key to <Command> key and <Ins> key to <Option> key.

For getting BigKeys exactly where you need it, in the case of a user with a physical disability, check out our Device Adapter.

Note about ABC Format
In using Intellikeys and BigKeys for many years now, I truly feel that very few kids actually use the ABC order to locate keys.  I have watched closely as hundreds of learners search for their key, such as the target letter in Spell-A-Word or the target number in 2+2, and they never move from upper left, across the keyboard, saying "ABCDE..." or "1234...".  So I do not recommend ABC format at all.  I leave them here just for those that have learned on an ABC keyboard and for *them* only.
