I use velcro where you use sandpaper. I am finding that it sticks better
on a keyboard that has yet to be touched and accumulate skin oils from
the fingertips.
I had a weakened hand, but tried the Microsoft Natural keyboard which
has a pronounced split between the two sides, at the G and H, for
example, and requires a little stronger touch than standard keyboards.
There is a more expensive version called the multi-media which has more
function keys with installation of a program disk. I ran out of patience
with it.

Mark,
First, do you know about sticky keys? You can turn them on by pressing
the
left hand shift key five times, then tab to OK and they're on. This will
allow you to press the alt, windows, control and other command keys one
key
at a time to make up your key combination. You can turn them off the
same
way you turned them on.
As for the keyboard, I have stuck a fine coarse sand paper with an
adhesive on the back ( like double faced tape only with sand paper on
one
side ) on certain keys, such as the c, n and the period on the first row
of
the keyboard, so I can find the other keys quickly. This has worked on
all
of the keyboards I have tried it on. Hope this is what you wanted help
with.
Brian, a one handed keyboard user
