Visually impaired individuals often find it difficult to use a standard keyboard. The small keys, low contrast between black backgrounds and white characters, and overall design can make typing frustrating. However, since keyboards are now essential tools in daily life, avoiding their use isn’t realistic. That’s why there needs to be a better solution—one that eliminates frustration and empowers visually impaired users to type with ease and confidence.
From kids keyboard to Clevy Contrast keyboard
At first, we made a keyboard with extra big keys and large characters on the keys. This colorful design was specially developed for kids in education. After some time, we discovered that a lot of people with low vision or visual impairment used the “kids keyboard”. This gave us the idea to make a redesign. And our white and black color scheme keyboard was born.
Optimized for Accessibility
Clevy Contrast Keyboard has 30 % bigger keys than on a regular keyboard, and the characters on these keys are 4 times bigger. We selected these keys because they are easy to hit and very visible. We arranged the keys on this keyboard vertically to improve the positioning of the hand and to make its layout less cluttered. The white and black color scheme draws attention to the qwerty area, and we left out a lot of keys for a clean look.
The low vision and visual impaired keyboard
Visually impaired users often struggle with standard keyboards because they can’t clearly see the keys or characters, leading to daily frustration. To address this, we designed our products specifically to support those with low vision or visual impairments—adding thoughtful features to make typing easier and more accessible.
