Accessible mini or one-handed keyboard?

Hello

I have sensory problems, problems of coordination/proprioception and rsi.

I can't type without seeing the keyboard and my hand hit. I also trouble typing with both hands at the same time, or several fingers at the same time, although I can handle some two-three key combinations and. I also struggle to hit the right keys and avoiding the wrong ones. I stopped using a mini keyboard since she start, page up, page down and put end, next to the delete/backspace, enter, and update and keep hitting them accidentally. I can't use peripheral touch because they look, and gestures and I keep accidentally triggeing those for touch devices are not a solution.

I have been using an Adesso Mini keyboard and a mini Logitech keyboard, both of which are supported on the left side to reduce wrist fatigue.

I also tried the dictation improved and Dragon for Mac, but I have severe Hyperacusis, and I get hit with a lot of construction noise painfully hard. When I'm not getting hit, I don't want to lose precious quiet, and when I get hit, I don't want to fill the page with pain.

I've been using sticky keys, but it's a mess, it shows the keys on the screen, at the top of the screen, while I type on the keyboard and can not see the screen. Sometimes I seek and find that SHIFT or caps lock is taped, or worse yet, the command triggered something. AND MY RIGHT ARM HURTS >. And... OT again.

Good timing...

So is it a mini keyboard accessible or a hand that allows users to know which modifier keys are in effect? I can't handle flashing but I'd probably be able to use the other lihts of the indicator.

Hey, Marja,.

I feel your troubles, so I try as much as possible to help you. These recommendations may not work for you, and I can fully understand your situation, so just take what is useful and discard the rest.

Here is a link to where I replied to your other post sticky keys.

Re: How to use sticky keys?

When you use the sticky keys, remember that you can disable modifier buttons to not show on the screen. The only problem with it is if you do not have the sound or the sound activated option, then it can become confusing if you have an amending key in the locked position.

  • Trick. If you do not want the sound or modifier keys displayed on the screen, you can activate the keyboard Viewer, and it happen some sticky keys are hit on the keyboard. If you press shift on your actual keyboard the keyboard Viewer will display the SHIFT key.

  • New T500 with a weird feeling in left hand keyboard buttons.

    It seems as if there is a lot of information, old and new, on a problem with keyboards T500. In November 2009, I bought a new T500 to replace my old but reliable TP600.  I have configured my T500 back on the agenda with Win 7 as well as the best graphic option and the 3.06 processor. Although many positions say that the keyboard problem has been resolved on newer models, I don't think that this is the case, as my T500 seems to have a 'no solid sense' side to the left keys, especially the keys: r, e, o, q, f, d, s, a, v, c, x, and z I don't know if I should call customer support on this issue and is there a replacement keyboard available which feels more like my old TP600?

    Well, I did not receive any responses, but I, I did some research here in the forums and on the line, and here's what I learned.

    Obviously the T500 are under construction with a keyboard that has a broken down with many openings support plate to release the heat from the processor. Some in the forums have taken pictures of this new keyboard and talked like 'Cheese Switzerland' design. In addition, in order to appease complaints, Lenovo also added an inside, on the left side of the T500 so that the keyboard will rest on it and remove some of the sag for the keys on the left.

    Right out of the box, my T500 was a bad sag and flex down to the keys on the left. Further inspection revealed that I got the new improved support and the vent or keyboard style "cheese Switzerland. I found the part number on my keyboard is 42 4034 T with a T 42, 4066 FRU. I saw that some owners had changed their machine with felt pads placed in specific areas under the keyboard but I didn't want to do it, it's a whole new 1 600 + machine. Other research forum revealed that some people replaced their keyboard with the oldest and most robust of the T61 backing plate pattern that is FRU 42T 3209.

    I called Lenovo tec support and speak with an employee. I described the problem with left hand keyboard flex and the employee insisted that this question was 'normal' and that all he could do was send me another 42T 4066 keyboard that would be the same. I asked if he could send me keyboard 42T 3209 and he stated that he could not allow this under warranty because it is not the correct replacement for my T500 part number.

    I informed the tec employee that I was not satisfied with the design of keyboard and it was certainly 'not normal' and that I've never used a keyboard, laptop or desktop, who had these inconsistencies in the pressure from right to left. (And to think, IBM ThinkPads, used to be known for their excellent keyboard 'feel'). In any case, I insisted on the fact that I wanted to send the laptop to have this checked and the employee, reluctantly, then says that he would mail me a nightclub. Since it was a Sunday, I received the box Tuesday and it shipped right out. I'll be just my T500 today and I have to admit that Lenovo has earned my trust to return!

    Inside of the box with my machine was the normal paperwork they send when they have a machine under warranty. The document provided said that they fixed the keyboard, updated the BIOS and made the diagnoses PC Doctor.

    A peek inside the machine has revealed that they have replaced the keyboard with one that has the plate support with fewer openings. I found the part number on the one that they used was not the T61 number listed above, but a part number 42 3241 T with a T 42, 3273 FRU.

    Regardless, this keyboard is much better now with no flex to the buttons on the left side. Now, I finally have a ThinkPad keyboard! Some people noted that the buttons on the left have a sound 'clickier' than the right side. It is true and that is the same with this keyboard, but the difference in noise side by side is quite a problem for me.

    Even though I believe that anyone who call Lenovo customer service, should not have to insist that this condition is not normal. I think it is a problem of well-documented stratification of customer and I think Lenovo should have built the T500 with this keyboard in the first place to avoid a guaranteed trip back to their repair center within the first week of ownership. In addition, look at the inconvenience for the owner as well as the cost of Lenovo in a package for the night the ways plus parts and labour.

    Ultimately, I am convinced that Lenovo has finally fixed my problem. After all, that's why I buy ThinkPads in the first place. I always tell people that they are the Cadillac of portable computers.

    Good luck to all and I hope this info helps.

  • ThinApp works not on the one hand on the VDI

    Hello

    Without going into too many details, I got a lot of ThinApp when you run locally on a VDI desktop computer it works well, but when running on the one hand it comes up with an error. But it works fine on an own virtual computer, either locally, or from the share. I use the last ThinApp 5.1.0 on a desktop Windows 7 32 bit. Any ideas before I raise a call with VMware?

    Thank you

    Sorted. At the end of the day, as I am deploying the thinapp by Admin of Horzion from view, I just put it to full installation instead of Streaming. The thinapp then installs locally and works very well. Would have liked to have gotten it to work as a continuous, but delays mailing package dictate that I can't spend much more time in research in this and the complete installation is sufficient for now.

    Thank you

  • I bought a mac mini from second hand for my mother, but I forgot to put in the keychain...

    Anyone could help me,

    I am new to Apple of relativity.

    I had bought a second hand, 2011 Apple Mac mini for my mom and I forgot to put in a keychain for the Mac mini, it's a bad thing for me to do?

    I use Mac OS X Lion, and I think it has OS X Lion Recovery on it.

    The computer held to ask the Keychain password.  She was confused because I did not originally put in, and now I'm more confused.

    I wanted to just give him a computer that was easy for her to use, so that she can stay in contact with his grandchildren and group of friends...

    I didn't know what to do, no one to ask, so I made in my 'new' Apple Mac mini in the shop so that it can be fixed.

    Here are the specs of the computer of Apple Mac mini that I bought for her:

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    The Keychain password is normally the password of the user, unless someone has changed the password. The keychain is installed as part of the operating system.  You can see the article below which covers what Apple recommends for the sale of a computer. If there are parts of what was not done, maybe that's the problem.

    Turn the laptop completely off by holding down the power button.

    Place it in the charger.

    Wait for the top has accused...

    When you see that the load indicator is on the second battery, this unfortunately will not charge it. However...

    Press the quick power button to see the two indicators.

    Remove the plug from the charger to the laptop (not the wall) and reinsert it back quickly

    Then wait...

    After 20 minutes to feel the charger on the wall... If it's hot, it recharges the battery in the keyboard...
