Big Keys Keyboard Plusby Greystone Digital |
Ergonomic Benefits Additional Resources Usage Tips | Product Summary |
---|
The keys on this keyboard are 1" square - four times larger than standard keys - and are available in colour in the standard QWERTY layout or an easy-to-use ABC format for children. Big Keys Plus differs from Big Keys LX in that it has a more limited keyset - less punctuation and special characters. It is designed so that children will have fun using both educational computer programs and games. The big keys are perfect for small fingers, and the alphabetic arrangement with vowels all in the color yellow, "R" in red, "G" in green, etc., will accelerate their automatic recognition of letters, and their progress in learning to read. For even the youngest users, the large keys with large letters will make it easy to type and interact with the computer. | Features |

- Large, easy to read and target key legends: All keys are easy to see - 0.75" wide by 0.75" deep (1.9 cm wide by 1.9 cm deep) at the top of the keycap, a total of 42 oversized keys
- Normal sized keys: 6 normal sized keys for CapsLock, CTRL, ALT, Tab, Del, and ESC
- Switchable layout (hardwired): Familiar QWERTY or ABC key layout, switch between them by moving the switch on the bottom of the keyboard with a pencil tip toward the lower edge of the keyboard for ABC or toward the upper edge for QWERTY. Although the letters on the keycaps will remain the same, the computer will interpret all keystrokes as coming from the alternate keyboard layout.
- Shift key: Gives access to upper/lower case alphabet and punctuation keys.
- Easy to read key labels: Large black letters on white or multi-colour keys.
- Contains all essential characters: 97 character keyset
- Compatible with all major software packages:
- No special software required: Just plug into your PC in place of the regular keyboard. PS/2 or optional USB connector.
- Run-on eliminated: Each key press generates only 1 character, no matter how long the key is held down.
- F1-F10 keys: Press and hold the "F" key and the numeric keys become F1-F10. To Accommodate one-handed operation, Big Keys LX provides an Assist Mode. In Assist Mode, function keys can be produced by successively pressing "F" and the numeric key rather than simultaneously pressing the 2 keys.
- Punctuation and other special keys:

ADDITIONAL NOTE: If you are ordering this adapter for an older BigKeys keyboard that you already own: this adapter is only for use with BigKeys manufactured in 2004 or later. Check that your BigKeys has a Serial Number ending in 04 or greater. (SN xx04 means manufactured in 2004). | KB48-SKIN | Protective Skin for Big Keys Keyboard Plus
