COMMERCIAL INTEREST DECLARED.

One of the main differences between the two keyboards you mention is
that the Jumbo XL has function keys (F1,F2 etc)  which can be a big
advantage when using word prediction software or if the person uses
keyboard shortcuts (e.g. F7 for spell-check in word).
It is available with a keyguard.

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?
