Product Description
This Keys-U-See Keyboard has been designed specifically for those with conditions that cause visual impairment or low vision, such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. These large print, large key keyboards are perfect for anyone who has a hard time seeing the existing commands on their keyboards. With a bigger and bolder black typeface on vividly bright yellow keys, the keys are easier to see. Additional keys (hot keys) have been added to the keyboard to allow for easier access to commonly used commands, such as searching and accessing e-mail and the Internet and energy saving commands: wake and sleep, when you need to leave your computer on, but won't be using it. These large, bold keys will have you using the computer, with more accurate keystrokes for a more enjoyable time.

Great for low vision problems October 7, 2008

Bought this for my 88 year old mother-in-law with macular degeneration and it is allowing her to start using the computer again.

This product is even better than it was described. The keyboard is VERY easy to see and the extra features like sound control and other useful buttons on the top row add to its usefulness.
Low Light? No Problem! June 11, 2008

For the comfort of another family member, I often use my computer in a very low light situation. When I saw the Keys-U-See keyboard in a catalog I decided to try it. For me, it's fabulous. The contrast of the BRIGHT yellow keys and black letters makes everything easy to see. Sure, I type by touch, but there are times I need to use those special keys. The LARGE letters are very helpful too. After noticing my keyboard (it's difficult to miss), two friends have ordered the same item and are very happy with it. By the way, the Amazon vendor's price was lower than both the catalog price and the manufacturer's price.
 Great keyboard for vision impaired May 29, 2008

The keys have extremely large high contrast lettering that is easy to see in just about any lighting condition.
The keys have a fairly long travel and reward methodical typing. A touch typist might be frustrated with both the key noise and the length of the keystrokes required to type at speed.
The keystrokes appear to be designed to help avoid bad or inadvertent key hits, which makes it a very good keyboard for the purpose.
It installs easily on XP and appears able to use a generic Microsoft driver even for the volume controls and extra function keys.
Is solidly made, not a cheap piece of flexoplastic on it.
This is a specialty keyboard for those wih poor vision. Although it does make it easy to see in extremely poor light, an illuminated model would probably be more satisfying to someone who just needs poor light capability and types fast.
Hopefully I can find someone locally to donate mine to, as it is a tad slow for even 50 wpm.
KEYS-U-See (Really See) May 2, 2008

Three keyboards sit in my office; one is actually backlit, one so dirty the keypad no longer can be read, and another with tempermental keys that kept causing spelling errors. Keys-U-See offers a great alternative - big black letters against a bright yellow background. While designed for the visually handicapped, it has a great uniform feel, needed no programming with Vista, and is just about perfect for the non-professional typist. I Love it.
