Single Hand Keyboard



  1. There is a hidden advantage to having a single handed keyboard. Because you will be using only one hand, you will also be using only one side of your brain. That makes learning easier because messages from one side of the brain to the other sometimes.
  2. MALTRON single handed keyboards have been developed as a logical step forward to meet the needs of those who need to type with one hand. The shape matches natural hand movement and the key arrangement minimises finger movement, raising speed.
  3. MALTRON SINGLE HANDED ERCONOMIC KEYBOARD DESIGN FEATURES: The Maltron Single Handed Keyboard has been developed as a logical step forward from the standard Maltron Unit, to meet the needs of people who for physical or occupational reasons have to perform keyboard operations with one hand.

If you’re looking for a one handed keyboard then we firmly believe that our wireless keyboard products offer many beneficial features to those who for whatever reason use only one hand when typing. Besides able-bodied users, we are happy to see more of our keyboard sales going to a range of users with movement impairments. These would include for example users with carpal tunnel injuries, stroke victims, Parkinson’s and Cerebral Palsy. Our keyboards can be easily operated using either one or both hands. Consider for example that you won’t ever have to hold the Shift-key again while simultaneously pressing a combination character; this is because we’ve introduced the concept of sticky-keys to our keyboard hardware. Imagine, no more finger gymnastics.

Product Description Maltron One-Handed keyboards have been developed as a logical step forward to meet the needs of those who need to perform keyboard operations with one hand. The shape matches natural hand movement and the key arrangement.

Another of the main benefits on offer is the ease with which you can quickly learn and begin to use our keyboards productively. This is also the main advantage our keyboards have over dedicated one handed keyboards, which in practice are not that easy to learn or use. if you happen to be recovering from a hand injury then you can also look forward to being able to use both hands for typing on our keyboards when fully recovered. Feedback from our one-hand using customers has been extremely positive with many of them buying two keyboards (mostly Optimized) for home and work use.

We should also mention that (as far as we know), none of our competitor’s one-hand keyboards offer wireless operation, or come with a wireless mouse. Note that our keyboard and mouse combo-sets are connected wirelessly to your computing device by the use of a USB nano-transceiver with all transmission signals between them being fully encrypted for security to industry standard.

If you take the time to check, you’ll find that competitor keyboards are considerably more expensive. Most if not all competitor keyboards are priced in the hundreds of dollars (USD). For example, the one-handed Maltron will set you back hundred$ more along with additional tax(es) for certain territories and extra again for post & packaging. Others range in price anywhere from $250 to $650. BeeRaider’s keyboard prices are all-included-prices with express delivery (within a week of order) by DHL. Check out the ease with which one can operate our keyboards in the short demo-video below. Compare it with the ease of operation of competitor keyboards and then decide for yourself which one you’d rather have.

Here’s what Andrew at Maryland Department of Disabilities had to say

Overall, I think this is a great solution for individuals that need to keyboard but don’t have the ability to use both hands. I am pretty happy with this modern solution to address a critical need for individuals with only functional unilateral upper limb control.

Our current wireless keyboard products are available in two layouts, Optimized and QWERTY and are intended for use with laptop and desktop PCs running Windows operating systems: 7.0, 8.0/8.1 and 10.0.

One Handed Keyboard Benefits of BeeRaider’s Keyboards

Note: The video above shows our Optimized keyboard being used by an able-bodied user using their dominant right-hand at 40wpm.

Yet another great feature of our keyboards is their programmability. If you’ve never used a programmable keyboard before then you’ll be surprised at how useful they can be in helping to ease your workload. We’ve not seen any competitor one handed keyboards offering this great feature, so as far as we know our keyboards are the only one handed programmable keyboards available. For example, you might want to create a series of Control-key-commands using our macro-record program that you can then assign to our keyboard’s 5 programmable buttons. This would then allow you to launch your most frequently used Control-key-commands at the touch of a single button. You can learn more about some of the extensive additional features offered by our programmable keyboard’s macro-record program in a dedicated section below.

We also need to emphasize that because our current keyboard combo-sets operate in wireless mode, it means your keyboard and mouse are no longer tethered to your computer/desk by short interface cables. This provides comfort in use and allows for keyboard and mouse sharing (if needed) with colleagues. It also allows for keyboard and mouse operation at up to a distance of eight meters. So if you want to, you can connect your laptop (via HDMI) to your large screen TV and operate it remotely from the comfort of your sofa, thereby allowing you to run your favorite program applications, PC based games or surf the Internet on your large-screen TV.

So if you want to increase your work productivity by typing faster while using only one hand then our one handed keyboard is definitely for you. All keys on our one handed keyboard marked with a dot are sticky in operation. Along with the central space-key you’ll find a second space-key at the bottom-center of our keyboards. Arranged either side of this are the green and blue dotted keys. Both of these dotted keys operate in Sticky mode, which again means that you don’t have to hold them down while simultaneously selecting a combination character. Just press them momentarily before pressing a combination character. These two keys are used when selecting their corresponding coloured characters. Users should also take note of the two Shift keys located below the central Space key. The Shift key on the left operates in standard fashion while the one on the right with the white dot operates in Sticky mode. The user can decide which one best suits their needs at any given time. The innovative use of these dotted keys improves operational speed and together with the compact nature of the design means that the keyboard can be easily operated with one hand. The compact ergonomic shape of our large-key one handed keyboard also helps prevent repetitive strain injuries (RSI). Note that the bottom three keys are intended to be operated by the thumbs if typing with both hands.

So how do you type when typing with one-hand? Our recommendation below is one general suggestion. Different users may have their own preferred variation on this suggestion and that’s fine as long as the user is effective and comfortable when typing.

  1. Imagine a central horizontal line running through your keyboard from left to right
  2. Imagine a central vertical line running through your keyboard from top to bottom
  3. Place the hand so that the fingers are hovering just above the central part of the horizontal line. This is your Home position
  4. In general, you will aim to use the index and middle fingers of the operating hand for typing characters on one side of the vertical line
  5. In general, you will aim to use the ring and little fingers of the operating hand for typing characters on the other side of the vertical line
  6. In general, you will aim to use the index, middle and ring fingers for characters located at the top of the keyboard
  7. Use the index finger to operate the central space-key, the Enter-key and all other control keys surrounding the central space-key
  8. Use the thumb to operate the bottom space-key and the green and blue dotted keys.

Having memorized the layout of the alpha-characters on the Optimised keyboard, the user is ready to start typing. Begin by aiming for accuracy and letting the speed come naturally as the muscle-memory of the fingers starts to kick-in over the first few days.

Our QWERTY keyboard is both compact and ergonomic, characteristics it shares with our Optimized keyboard. However, it does not have the designed logical layout and efficiency of our Optimized keyboard. In the sections that follow we look more closely at the many benefits of our keyboards when used as either a one-handed or two-handed keyboard for data-entry.

Programmable One Handed Keyboard

Both our Optimized and QWERTY keyboards are programmable. You can automate the execution of a sequence of frequently used commands in any application. So for example, you could do this in your spreadsheet application by using the macro-record program that comes with our keyboards. This is a great way to take the tedium out of oft repeated tasks when using an application. Just use the macro-record feature to record the command-key-sequences and then name-save the macro(s) for future loading with whatever applications you intend to use them with. Because you have 5 programmable keys on your one handed keyboard, you can (at any given time) assign a different (application specific) macro to each of these 5 keys for use with your current application.

You can also simply assign a series of menu-available Windows utilities, Multimedia functions, Office commands, Internet commands and assign programs/scripts to be launched by any of the 5 programmable buttons.

With some programming know-how you could greatly extend the options afforded by the 5 programmable buttons by having any (or all) button(s) launch a script when pressed that could present the user with a numerically numbered menu of options (1 to n), that depending on the number entered would run another (menu-named) script that would perform any given assigned task. As an example, for a programmer, it could insert a string of code at the cursor-point. Thus, things can be automated to a great extent with a programmable keyboard.

Compact One Handed Keyboard

Corsair single hand keyboard

The main-key-cluster of our compact one handed keyboard has a much smaller footprint compared to that of a standard QWERTY keyboard. The following graphic shows the comparative difference, which amounts to a footprint space saving of approximately 33%. This space saving reduction is achieved without sacrificing key-cap-size; in fact many of the key-caps are much larger while the smallest key-caps are equivalent in size to those found on the standard QWERTY keyboard.

Ergonomic One Handed Keyboard

  • Because of the compactness of our one handed keyboard, there’s a big reduction in finger-travel-time leading to increased data-entry typing speed. The Optimized keyboard, owing to its logical design, offers even further savings in finger-travel-time
  • Keys are offset and are bigger for the hand or hand’s weaker fingers and so encourages their use
  • The operator can naturally position their hand or hands over the keyboard with ease and the inclusion of sticky-key operation means that you don’t need to hold down the shift-key when typing other combination characters
  • All of the above help to reduce operator discomfort and fatigue, especially for one handed keyboard operators

Logical One Handed Keyboard

  • The Optimized keyboard has been expressly designed to be logical and efficient in use, facilitating increased user productivity, it has been specifically designed to minimize finger-travel-time. The layout of the alphabet characters are positioned in accordance with their frequency of occurrence in the English language, so that they fall more readily for use by the more agile index and middle fingers. This greatly reduces the amount of finger-travel-time thereby increasing your speed of data-entry.
  • The location of the alphabet keys on each keyboard is relatively easy to memorize but more so with the Optimized keyboard, whose alphabet keys layout can be memorized using our training material in only 10-20minutes. If you stop to think about it, almost everyone who uses a standard QWERTY keyboard would not be able to tell you where all the alphabet keys are located on it. Even people who have been using the standard QWERTY keyboard for many years are unable to do so. The reality is, it’s not a very logically designed keyboard and as a result it isn’t very efficient to use.

Efficient One Handed Keyboard

When using the Optimized keyboard and while following BeeRaider’s recommended learning approach, a user’s finger-muscle-memory kicks in after only a few days of continuous typing. With the alphabet key locations memorized and finger-muscle-memory now in place, a user’s typing speed and productivity quickly increases. Note that we provide a comprehensive training method and video on our Training webpage for those who decide to purchase our Optimized keyboard.

Conclusion

Here’s what Sander van Minderhout of Babbage (Babbage.com, IT Distributor, The Netherlands), had to say after extensive in-house and in-field testing of our Optimized keyboard:

“We’ve tested this keyboard and it’s good. I’m glad that we’ve now got this product in our product range.”

Note that Babbage is a leading company in its field providing technology and training that makes information accessible to people with physical and visual impairments. Babbage is now promoting BeeRaider’s Optimized keyboard as its only recommended keyboard for one handed users.

Our one handed keyboard is known as a Radial Keyboard Design. It has been designed as a 21st century computer keyboard with none of the shortcomings of the QWERTY standard keyboard, a design that was contrived for use with the mechanical typewriters of the late 19th century. The Radial Keyboard design is about simplifying the future of data-entry!
