New innovative keyboard to help dyslexics

A keyboard called the Elexia may soon be coming on the market to help computer users who have dyslexia (see main page above). I had the opportunity to have a play with the keyboard today. Considering it is still a prototype, I was impressed by it's design and quality. The keys are lit from behind and with the aid of the dials at the side, and can be changed to any colour. It's a great idea and certainly makes the keys easier to see. You could even use the keyboard in a dark room, thanks to the keys themselves being illuminated. I could see this keyboard also being useful to someone with a vision impairment. BabelTech could be onto a winner here and I look foward to the finished product. I found a video about it on YouTube - have a look. Do you find this valuable?
