About this deal

Voice recognition is a practical way of controlling your computer and a very efficient means of getting information down. Voice recognition (speech-to-text or dictation) is useful for people who can find typing difficult, painful or impossible, but it can also by-pass issues with things like spelling or grammar and so can be a great help to people with learning differences like dyslexia. Writing a USB driver on your new PC to bypass the USB protocol is probably impossible as the USB ports are likely to be driven by a dedicated chip. Helpikeys is a customisable adaptive keyboard for people with learning and motor difficulties. It is also beneficial for people with visual or cognitive challenges. In addition to five available overlays, the keyboard can also be programmed to store five further personalised layouts. There are many suppliers and manufacturers of ergonomic equipment; below are a list of companies with specialist knowledge who may be able to offer additional advice if needed: Hence, by updating the Keyboard drivers you can keep your Keyboard stable for long ages. But, many individuals have reported that after updating the drivers still the issue isn’t fixed. If you are one of them, then we advise you to first uninstall the drivers and then reinstall it again.

One simply connects the wires, changing the connection from a mini-DIN to a USB connector, with no protocol changes at all. These work only with modern keyboards that know how to do both AT (more often called "PS/2") and USB keyboard protocols, and automatically switch depending on what they're plugged into. In other words, what's happening with these is that the protocols is already USB at the PS/2 connector, and the adapter is just changing the connector shape. They typically look like this:Articulating wrist supports clamp to the tabletop and are a more specialist support typically in instances where there are difficulties supporting the weight of the arms. Edit 2: More info found on the electrical interface needed here. It seems its a not that easy but doable task to create your interface with the use of a cheap microcontroller. The connection between the microcontroller and the ps/2 keyboard seems straight forward enough but then from the microcontroller to USB is another story... Newer computers no longer have PS/2 ports. If you have a PS/2 keyboard and a computer with no PS/2 ports, we suggest purchasing a USB keyboard or a PS/2 to USB converter. Do all computers have a PS/2 port?

Just like the name suggests, a keyboard driver is a set of files or data that allows the keyboard to run on your system with ease. The driver defines how a device, in this case, the keyboard, will respond to your commands as a user. Many tablet manufacturers are beginning to produce a pen or ‘stylus’ as another means of interacting with the tablet and will allow you to make handwritten notes. I suspect with adaptor upon adaptor you are either losing voltage and therefore connectivity or the protocol is getting confused. A lap tray can allow you to use a tablet or laptop comfortably on your lap and provides a flat, stable surface on one side and a beanbag on the underside that moulds to the shape of your legs. Ergonomic keyboards are designed to promote a better typing position for your hands and wrists and therefore reduce the chance of strains and discomfort that can ultimately lead to significant issues such as Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). Ergonomic keyboards ‘split’ the keyboard in two, placing each half on a curve so your arms are at a more comfortable, relaxed angle when typing.

No. Newer desktop and laptop computers have removed the older PS/2 port in favor of the USB ports. If you have an older PS/2 keyboard or PS/2 device, you can get a PS/2 to USB adapter (connector) like the one shown in the picture. This adapter allows the older keyboard to communicate with newer computers by attaching between one of the USB ports and the PS/2 plug. If you have a laptop computer, an external keyboard can also connect to one of the USB ports. If no USB ports are available, a USB hub would be needed. After the keyboard is connected, it should automatically be detected and installed. If the keyboard has any special features, you need to install the keyboard software and drivers. All operating systems also have basic mouse settings that allow you to set up and configure basic mouse settings. Can my laptop work with two keyboards?
