High Contrast Backlit Keyboard (7 Colours) | NDIS Low Vision Aid

Navigate the digital world with clarity and comfort using the High-Contrast Backlit Keyboard. This robust piece of low-cost assistive technology is designed to support NDIS participants with Low Vision, light sensitivity, or fine motor challenges.

Standard keyboards with small, grey-on-black lettering can create a significant barrier to digital inclusion. This keyboard removes that barrier with extra-large, bold print and adjustable 7-colour backlighting. Users can select the specific colour and brightness that provides the best contrast for their eyes, reducing strain and improving typing accuracy.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Visual Accessibility: The customizable backlighting (including Red, Blue, Green, Cyan, etc.) allows users to tailor the interface to their specific visual condition. For example, some users with cataracts may find yellow light offers better contrast than white.

Motor Stability & Accuracy: The keyboard features a widened, stable base to prevent sliding during use, which is critical for participants with tremors or ataxia. The larger key legends provide a clearer target, helping to reduce typing errors.

Sensory Regulation: Unlike "clicky" mechanical keyboards, this device uses quiet membrane keys. This reduces auditory distraction, supporting users with sensory processing sensitivities or those working in shared quiet spaces.

Durability for Daily Living: Accidents happen. The spill-resistant design protects the internal electronics from minor liquid spills, ensuring the device remains a reliable tool for daily administration and social connection.

Key Features & Benefits

7-Colour LED Backlight: Fully adjustable brightness and colour options to suit environmental lighting and individual visual needs.
Large Print Keys: High-visibility characters are significantly easier to read than standard keys, reducing the need to hunch over the desk.
Quiet Operation: Soft-touch keys minimize noise, creating a calm environment for work or study.
Wired Reliability: The 1.5m USB cable ensures a constant connection without the need for batteries or charging, reducing maintenance tasks.
Ergonomic Tilt: Designed to reduce wrist strain during prolonged use, supporting physical joint health.
