I can personally say that for me using the key broad was a lot easier to use, for me as I have vision problems. It was very surprising what a difference using the yellow keys and larger black letters made to my use of the key broad. From my own experience of using the keyboard it does make a difference. The use of this piece of equipment increases the functional capacity for the user because they are able to communicate with the wider world outside of themselves and their immediate world. Opening worlds and possibly new interest.
