The CyKey Plus® is a small "chord" keyboard, that
allows fast (30-60 words per minute) touch typing with only one hand!
It works wirelessly with Palm OS® PDA's
and PC's. Combination keypresses (chords) of 5 main keys and two extra
thumb keys are the secret to getting full keyboard functionality into
such a tiny product. The CyKey Plus is designed to work with left
or right hands of all sizes.
Is it hard to learn? Not at all! Memory joggers in the included tutorial,
and a fun song have most people learning the basic alphabet in about
a half hour! But you don't even have to learn it to start using it,
as you can use our helper software to have a reference chart stay
on top of your PC screen. For novices, studies show learning time
is much quicker than with the traditional keyboard, but if you know
the traditional keyboard, learning the CyKey will not interfere with
your existing typing skills. Tens of thousands of people in Britain,
and all over the world have already learned to "microwrite"
(the original name of the CyKey-typing system), on a number of products
that go back almost 20 years.

The CyKey Plus is wireless via infrared technology and works with
Palm® OS PDA's via the included software, and with no software
required for PC usage. You can plug the optional PC infrared adapter
directly into your PS/2 keyboard port, or with a Y adapter that allows
you to use both the CyKey Plus, and your standard huge keyboard. Or
you can use the optional PS/2 to USB adapter to plug into USB ports.
The standard coin sized lithium battery gives you about eight months
before needing to be replaced.
You can use the CyKey Plus with the PDA Pivot, for belt mounted wearable
use, and on the desktop to add a more ergonomic angle for your hand.
