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
