One-handed keyboard
Can you only use one hand when typing? Then a one-handed keyboard can help you work more comfortably and independently. A standard keyboard is usually designed for use with both hands. As a result, using just one hand often requires large movements. A specially adapted keyboard places the keys closer together in a smarter layout, making it easier to reach letters, numbers, and function keys.

Who is a one-handed keyboard suitable for?
A one-handed keyboard is designed for people who cannot use one hand or have limited use of one hand. This may be temporary or permanent.
An adapted keyboard may be suitable for people with:
- A congenital disability.
- An amputation.
- Recovery after an accident or surgery.
- The effects of a stroke (CVA).
- A neurological condition.
- Limited strength or mobility in one hand.
You can use a one-handed keyboard anywhere you want to type comfortably and independently, such as at home, at work, or while studying.
How do you choose the right one-handed keyboard?
The most important thing is to choose a model that matches the hand you use for typing. There are versions for both left- and right-handed users. Keyboards also differ in size, key layout, and functionality.
When choosing a one-handed keyboard, consider the following:
- Left- or right-handed operation.
- The key layout.
- Compatibility with your operating system.
- The size of the keyboard.
- Additional features you use every day.
A one-handed keyboard may take some time to get used to. Once you are familiar with the layout, you can often type faster and more comfortably.
How do you set up your workspace for one-handed use?
A one-handed keyboard works best when your entire workspace is set up ergonomically. Place the keyboard directly in front of the hand you use for typing. Keep your elbow close to your body and your shoulder relaxed.
Because you will often use the same hand to operate both the keyboard and the mouse, the strain on that hand can increase more quickly. A vertical mouse can help keep your hand and forearm in a more natural position. Place the mouse close to the keyboard to minimise reaching and switching between the two.
