I've posted those Sony before. They are actually Omron switch not Alps.

I wonder if SP makes some caps for these editing boards. Some crap bag keys I've seen seem to fit with that type of usage.

Ahh ok cool, thanks Ivan, my mistake.

I removed them and edited this to reference the DSI board.

You should change the title to something about keyboards for old people with poor eyesight.

The question comes up a couple of times a year, and that board looks perfect (except for the bigass "Enter"!).
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

Actually the yellow and black one would be even better.

This has been discussed several times at considerable length. It warrants a standing discussion.

Perhaps the media buttons would be helpful, but maybe confusing. Personally, I don't think the yellow helps.

The Milton-Bradley version that I sold a couple of years ago was far better for someone truly impaired, because it was color-coded and had flat 1" keys instead of 3/4" keys. A touch typist's worst nightmare, of course.

And it was simplified white Alps, too.
