Mom Loves Her New Visikey Keyboard

Mom's declining eyesight makes it difficult for her to see the letters on the keyboard, so we decided it was time to get a new keyboard that will make it easier for her (and me!) to see the keys. I finally decided on the Visikey keyboard from this website http://www.chestercreek.com/VisiKey.html because it was low priced and looked like it would make it much easier for mom to type.

It arrived in the mail yesterday, and we love it! The letters, numbers, and symbols on the keys are bright white and they are much bigger and more visible than those on regular computer keyboards. According to the packaging, the letters are 430% larger than the letters on a standard keyboard and I can really see the difference. It is also rated 20/300 on the Snelling visual acuity scale, which means people with diminished eyesight can still make out the letters. Compare that to most standard keyboards which are rated for 20/70, and you can get a feel for the visual ease that the keyboard provides.

I'm glad we chose this keyboard, it makes typing so much easier for Mom and me!
