Article: [senit] large key keyboard

Is this the TASH King keyboard he's been using? The keys are much bigger and
further apart, and membrane so it's a different feel, compared to Big Keys
and Jumbo which have standard moving keyswitches. How about an Intellikeys?
Probably the best way is to try them both - e.g. Inclusive do sale or return
for 40 days or so.

Subject: [senit] large key keyboard 

Does anyone have any suggestions for  a less expensive keyboard option than
an expanded keyboard for a young man with impaired motor skills.  He has
used an expanded keyboard and joystick,  but would like a less expensive,
more portable solution for home use.

 He needs a keyguard and main keyboard functions, but due to being a one
handed typist, but needs to be able to delete easily. Has anyone got any
experience with the Jumbo keyboard or BigKeys LX?
