Hi
Have you tried filter keys within windows as this can sometimes help error rate - means you can block repeated presses and also add a small delay for selecting a letter if this is helpful (I have had some success with this). Also have you tried a keyguard on a conventional sized keyboard?
Have you tried a headmouse?

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

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
