How fast can I learn it?If you’ve never learned to type before, you can learn one-handed typing in the same time – and at the same time – as two-handed typing. If you’re already a touch-typist, you can learn one-handed typing in a matter of minutes, with little or no retraining. Why is it so easy to learn?The finger used to type each letter is the same finger that's used in normal touch typing – That's why you can learn it so quickly. It's uncanny, but your brain quite naturally understands that a key that you would normally type with the index finger of one hand can be typed with the index finger of the other hand. You're using the same finger movements that you already learned for touch-typing, except now, you're only using one hand to do them. No drivers requiredThe one-handed capability is built into the keyboard hardware, so there are no drivers to install. It will work with any device that supports standard wired keyboards. --- This very compact assistive technology enables people who have lost the use of one hand to touch-type quickly using their existing touch-typing skills. This USB keyboard is the left half only and allows you to touch-type with just your left hand (your left hand can produce all the letters normally typed by the right hand using the half keyboard technology). This keyboard has been chosen by occupational therapists, insurance companies, workplace insurance boards, schools, governments and businesses for over 20 years for one-handedness, hemiplegia, blindness (reading a braille screen with one hand while typing with the other hand), as well as other conditions where typing with only one left hand is required. (Note: if you only can type with your right hand, please order the Matias Half-QWERTY Keyboard instead, as it is good for left hand only, right hand only, or both hands).
