The TiPY company is launching a computer keyboard designed to be usable by people who have lost the use of one hand, the TiPY Keyboard. This new all-in-one keyboard also includes a mouse and is compatible with Windows and macOS operating systems.
A computer keyboard designed for certain disabilities
Designed to be used with one hand, this computer keyboard is designed for both the right and left hand. A system allows you to use it with the hand of your choice, thanks to a double arrangement of the keys: on the front and on the back of the object.
Offering a complete typing experience, the TiPY Keyboard is primarily aimed at individuals who are only able-bodied with one hand. In a small space of 170 x 170 x 21 mm, the object allows you to enter all alphanumeric characters. This is made possible by a software configuration specific to this device, ensuring numerous key combinations, always with one hand.
TiPY’s keyboard also incorporates a mouse to control the computer. Compatible with Windows and macOS, it allows you to write in twelve languages: Danish, German, English, Finnish, French, Icelandic, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish and ‘Spanish.
The TiPY company offers interactive lessons online, on its website, to allow new owners of the device to get started. Note that the device works in wireless mode, by connecting it to the computer via Bluetooth. However, it is also possible to use it in a wired connection.
If the object is intriguing and could have a positive impact on the employment and digital adaptation of its audience, its price remains high. TiPY’s ergonomic keyboard is sold for €990 on the company’s online store.
