IntelliKeys®

An intelligent, programmable keyboard. IntelliTools now offers two choices, IntelliKeys® Classic and IntelliKeys® USB.
Both IntelliKeys are alternative keyboards that provides greater computer accessibility to individuals with special needs. IntelliKeys plugs into Macintosh or Windows computers. Unlike the keyboard on your computer, you can change the way IntelliKeys looks and functions simply by sliding in any of the different overlays that come with the program.
Custom keyboards may be created with Overlay Maker® software.
Keyguards for standard and for custom overlays may be purchased separately. The keyguards increase the usability of IntelliKeys for individuals who need extra support.

IntelliKeys Classic - six overlays, include Alphabet Overlay, Numbers Overlay, and Arrows Overlay, and can be used with software which accepts keyboard inputs. Standard overlays features large, well-spaced keys in high contrast colors to make it easy for the user to locate letters and numbers. Each represents a different keyboard configuration to facilitate physical and cognitive access.
The keyboard is touch-sensitive and allows you to customize settings to greatly ease access for the user who tends to press unwanted keys or keep their finger on a key too long.
The Setup Overlay can be used to adjust Intellikeys for an individual's needs by customizing the response time, the repeat rate, etc. . A series of plastic keyguards, guide the user in making the proper key selection.

IntelliKeys USB - the seven standard overlays reflect years of customer feedback. Overlays make it easy to connect to your email, surf the Web, create documents . . . and more! The same overlays can be used on both Mac and PC computers. Features of IntelliKeys USB include:

  • on-screen control panel - settings can be adjusted directly on the IntelliKeys USB. Convenient for group use: customized settings for individual users can be saved.
  • full access to mouse, IntelliKeys USB keyboard and standard keyboard at all times.
  • plug and unplug keyboard while computer is running. Can add the IntelliKeys during a computer session without interrupting that session.
  • on-off switch. Can turn off the IntelliKeys without having to turn off the computer.

Note: IntelliKeys USB was designed for high-end USB machines running recent versions of Mac or Windows system software. For some computers (even those with USB) the classic IntelliKeys is the better solution.
