Product Reviews of Keys U See Large Print US English USB Wired Keyboard - Yellow Keys with Large Black Print Characters / Letters (US English)
Product Review: Great product! Very clear letters
Summary: 5 Stars
My 89 year old mother loves this new keyboard. The big clear letters are very easy for her to see. Macular degeneration has limited her eyesight so much that she can not make out standard sized keyboard letters anymore. This has enabled her to use her computer comfortably once again.Product Review: It's made for people with low vision
Summary: 5 Stars
All in all a great keyboard for people with low vision; very thoughtful of the creator.Product Review: Its only advantage is visibility
Summary: 3 Stars
This keyboard does exactly what it's advertised to do: enable people who are partially blind to see it. But beyond that, this keyboard falls flat, primarily because there is zero tactile feedback and zero audible feedback. My wrists and fingers were sore five minutes after I began using it. For typing, the only worse keyboards I've used in my lifetime are the old Sun Sparcstation keyboards and the old DEC VT100 keyboards with the electronic keyclick disabled. So, if you don't absolutely positively need keycaps with large print in order to use a computer, avoid this keyboard. I'm giving this one to my dad, who hunts and pecks and who's got cataracts. It will be a net positive for him, as will be the case for anyone who can't see the keys on a "normal" keyboard -- but just barely.Product Review: KEYS-U-See (Really See)
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Product Review: Keyboard by DeWalt
Summary: 5 Stars
We ordered a black-on-white one of these for my mother, and this black-on-yellow one for us. She has macular degeneration and loves her new keyboard, we just have eyes that are getting a little older and just wanted something easier to see. I think the black-on-yellow is higher contrast than the black-on-white, as the folks at KeysUSee have said. I would probably have gotten it for my mother, but she found black-on-white easier to read.
It is wonderful, we love it. It's easy to install, it just uses a USB port instead of the regular keyboard connector. You do need to disable or uninstall your keyboard drivers before turning your computer off, connecting the new keyboard, and turning the computer back on. This prevents the keyboard from malfunctioning due to software conflicts.
These keyboards are especially nice because the keys are all in the same places you are already used to them being in. Some keys do have abbreviations on them so they could enlarge the print (NumLock is NL). Also, if you are used to the backslash key (\) being under the Backspace key, and an "Enter" key that is nice and wide on the homerow, you might find yourself hitting \ when you mean to hit Enter for a while (like me) until you get used to it. This was not enough for me to take a star off, especially since many regular keyboards feature the same arrangement. I just happen to prefer the \ beneath the Backspace.
Another plus: my husband is a maintenance supervisor, and to him this keyboard looks like it was made by DeWalt. He's right.
