Compact Wireless Keyboard | NDIS Tablet & Communication Aid

Transform your tablet or phone into an accessible workstation with this Compact Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard. Designed as a vital piece of low cost assistive technology, this lightweight physical keyboard provides tactile feedback and improved ergonomics, making typing and communication significantly easier for NDIS participants who find touchscreens difficult to navigate.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

For many individuals, on-screen glass keyboards present barriers due to a lack of tactile feedback. This physical keyboard supports NDIS goals by:

• Supporting Fine Motor & Dexterity Needs: For participants with tremors, dyspraxia, or limited fine motor control, tapping specific points on a glass screen can be frustrating and error-prone. Physical keys provide resistance and tactile distinctness, improving typing accuracy and reducing fatigue.

• Enhancing AAC (Communication): For non-verbal individuals using text-to-speech apps on iPads or tablets, this keyboard allows for faster, more natural typing. It turns a consumption device into a true communication tool, fostering social inclusion.

• Aiding Visual Impairment: Touchscreens offer no "geography" for the fingers. This keyboard allows users with low vision to learn key placement by touch (touch-typing), providing a level of independence that smooth screens cannot offer.

• Improving Ergonomics: It allows the screen to be placed at eye level (on a stand) while the keyboard remains close to the hands. This separation is crucial for preventing neck strain and maintaining good posture during therapy or work.

Key Features & Benefits

• Universal Compatibility: Connects seamlessly via Bluetooth to iPads, iPhones, Android tablets, and Windows devices. It’s the perfect companion for your existing assistive technology hardware.

• Ultra-Light & Portable: Weighing as little as 126g (7-inch model), it fits easily into a bag or wheelchair pouch, ensuring you have accessible input support wherever you go—community access, school, or therapy.

• Quiet & Comfortable Keys: The low-profile scissor-switch keys offer a quiet, responsive typing experience that won't disturb others in classrooms or libraries.

• Long-Lasting Rechargeable Battery: The built-in lithium battery offers months of standby time and features an auto-sleep mode to conserve power, ensuring it's ready when you need it.

• Cable-Free Connection: Advanced Bluetooth technology provides a stable connection up to 10 metres away, allowing for flexible positioning of the device (e.g., mounting a tablet on a wheelchair while keeping the keyboard on a tray).
