MoreKeyboard Giveaway!

In recognition of Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Low Vision month, MoreKeyboard is pleased to announce its 2nd annual MoreKeyboard giveaway during the month of February.

People with AMD and low vision have varying degrees of difficulty seeing a computer monitor, a computer screen, and the lettering on its keyboard.  This is where the MoreKeyboard is most beneficial.

The large print on the number and letter keys of the MoreKeyboard are three times larger than those on standard keyboards.  The bright white printing on the large black keys increases visibility and contrast making the MoreKeyboard easier to read. This is helpful to individuals with vision impairments, and for those who wear reading glasses, bifocals, or work in low-lighted areas.

An additional feature of the MoreKeyboard is its letter and number keys that are more than 25% wider than those of standard keyboards. For people with age-related disabilities, the larger landing area on the big keys helps with locating and operating the keyboard and allows the user to type with more accuracy and confidence.

MoreKeyboard will give away two keyboards per week during the month of February.  To qualify for the giveaway, send MoreKeyboard an e-mail explaining why and how the MoreKeyboard can benefit you.

    Hello,
    I read of your giving away MoreKeyboards last February. I just learned of the keyboard and bought one to use at my work.
    I am 83 years old, have poor vision, and fat fingers. The new keyboard has been very helpful. I would like to personally buy one to use at home. Although your give away has long since past, I am wondering if there is any place I can buy a keyboard at a reduced rate.
    By the way,my company is PianoCraft. That is the company that bought the keyboard I am now using.

    Thank you,
    Allen Rothenberg

I’m sure they’d be happy to hear that the first one you bought has been a success. You may also contact our program directly to see what other resources may be available – 1-800-832-4827.
