Overview
The HelpiKeys is an adaptable A3‑sized programmable membrane keyboard and mouse‑emulator, ideal for users with motor, cognitive, visual, or access difficulties.
It's a programmable keyboard in the same vein as the much loved IntelliKeys Keyboard form IntelliTools / Ablenet, offering five interchangeable overlays that are instantly recognized by the device.
Built-in auditory feedback and extensive customisability make it well-suited for educational use, rehabilitation, AAC access, and learning activities
