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"!).
From the US Constitution, Article 1, Section 8 :

The   Congress   shall have Power
To declare War,  grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To provide for calling forth the Militia  to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

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.
