Are you looking to buy an expensive, specialized, dedicated one-handed keyboard?
Or are you just looking for a way to type one-handed, today, using your existing laptop or USB keyboard?
If you just want to type with one hand, one-hand typing software is the best option.
Use the one-hand keyboard software to type with one hand today. It’s an instant download, so you can begin typing immediately.
The key thing to remember is that one-handed typing using this app is based on your existing muscle memory. If you are normally a two-hand homerow touch typist, it’s very easy to learn to type with one hand.
Give the free one-hand typing software a try!

Where did CapsLk function go ????
This is beyond me again
I was a programmer but a severe stroke left me eith hemiparisis of the left side and no use of my left hand at all. I had high hopes for this program but I could find no instructions on what to do with it. I hoped the program had instructions built in but that didn’t happen either. After I uninstalled it, some keys, including the arrow keys, are no longer working!
I am trying to help a friend in the latter stages of ALS. He has but one thumb left usable on his right hand and can no longer speak so he can be understood. The only way he can communicate or use the net is by using the side of his thumb to spell on a phone with tiny contact areas for each letter but he has no other choices because a standard keyboard requires a second hand to hold down the shift, control, and caps lock keys – where a phone does not. I am attempting a mechano-electrical solution upon a modified keyboard but a software solution to make those keys “latching” (tap-on, tap-off) would be much better! Will the above program make this possible?
I borrowed a Matias half-QWERTY keyboard and attempted to make use of it for several days. I found its response somewhat inconsistent and found it necessary to occasionally disconnect and reconnect the keyboard to reset it. Perhaps this is a common problem with a simpler work-around?
Today I have been trying the Limber also known as One Hand Keyboard software, and it appears to be working well. The only drawback I’ve observed thus far is having to reach across to the other side of the keyboard for the [Tab] key. Has this already been implemented, and I missed it?
Thank you for an excellent utility. I hope to be able to afford to purchase the upgrade soon.
