I don't know of a high-visibility keyboard specifically for the Mac but there are certainly high visibility keyboards for PCs, Sight & Sound do them, as do MicrolinkPC in Southampton (02380 240375) - it might be worth asking them about these. These are available in standard key sizes but you can also get a keyboard from Microlink that has enlarged characters on larger keys, although I reckon these would be a pain if you touch type.
Microlink Certainly sell high visibility keyboard stickers in various combinations of foreground/background colour and a choice of lower case or caps, and I'm pretty sure that the RNIB and Sight and Sound also do these - by the way, the keyboards mentioned above also come in different colour combinations and with a choice of lower/upper case.
The keyboards can be relatively expensive if you get fussy about colour/case, but the stickers are relatively inexpensive and might be the answer for a Mac keyboard.

Hi,I have a friend who is loosing his sight gradually and he is desperate to find a keyboard with large print for his Apple computer. Does any one know if such a thing is available or would he have to adapt his present one?Regards Mary ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 3802 (20090126) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
