Another day and another assistive device to 3D print.
We received a request to design a keyguard for a person with Parkinson’s. If you or someone you know has Parkinson’s disease, typing on a keyboard can sometimes be a challenge. A keyguard is an assistive device that can make typing a lot easier. It acts as a physical barrier between the keyboard keys and your hands, helping to guide you to the correct keys and reducing the likelihood of incorrect keystrokes. For those with Parkinson’s who experience tremors or difficulty with fine motor control, a keyguard can be a valuable tool for maintaining their ability to communicate through written means.
However a keyguard is useful for anyone that needs a little assistance with typing. It can be used for people with visual impairments to delineate the separation between keys.
