[Year 12 IT Apps] help needed

[Mark Scott]

It is a work situation and they have said no to a laptop (cost).

Her right hand can't handle a roller mouse.

The vertical mouse allows her right hand to be in a vertical position (which minimises the pain involved)

but thanks for the suggestions.

Gday Mark,
this may sound obvious or indeed, you may have done it already...but, my laptop and I assume, many others too, has no numeric component other than the top row. What's stopping you using a laptop with the mouse on a piece of say, vinyl topped suitably heighted timber to suit your users need?  Or, are you looking for a kb with a roller mouse on it as used in design studios...that might be worth a look.
Just a thought....

hmmmm, back to (official)work in 5 days(holidays are just catch up time for planning and marking)...drat!!

seeya...

Hi all

hope your Hols are going well.

I am in desperate need of a Left Hand keyboard (numeric keypad on LHS) or a keyboard with no numeric keypad.

I have a mildly disabled friend who needs to have the mouse (and she has a really cool vertical mouse) as close to (qwerty part of) the keyboard on the RHS. hence no numeric keypad. It must be height adjustable, most are but there is one numeric keypadless keyboard on the market thst is not adjustable (just sits flat).

I'm hoping this makes sense and someone will be able to point me in the rigght direction.

thanks
