I used mouse keys quite successfully for a couple of people.  With or without keyguard.

Subject: suitable mouse and keyboard combination for student with peripheral neuropathy

 

Hello all

 

The symptoms are loss of feeling and control in the fingers. He makes lots of typos and thinks a big key keyboard will solve that problem. But his main difficulty is using a mouse to point and select accurately.

 

I’ve been considering the ‘Whale Mouse’ from Ergoview (http://www.emptech.info/product_details.php?ID=1318), partly because the buttons appear to be relatively programmable.

 

Or perhaps a joystick…

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Mike P
