MyBoard – LC - Children’s Keyboard
Children as young as three years old are becoming skilled at using the computer keyboard. But the use of upper case letters can be confusing for those who have not mastered the relationship between capital and lower-case letters. Good news. The MyBoard-lc from Chester Creek has large, bold, easy-to-read lower-case lettering, big 1″ keys, color-coding for vowels, consonants, numbers and function keys, and gentle finger pressure.

Tiny Mouse – Children’s Computer Mouse
The Tiny Mouse is about half the size of a standard computer mouse and just right for arthritic or stiff hands. The small size and a smooth-rolling scroll wheel help all users who find it painful to hyper-extend and stretch their hands to click the right and left buttons on a standard mouse. And with optical tracking, there is no longer a trackball to become dirty, lost or malfunction.
