Low actuation force keyboard

[Josephdalepi]

i have a friend who has muscular dystrophy, and cant use normal keyboards

im trying to find a keyboard with the lowest actuation force and travel distance possible

ive found this: http://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Keyboard-Split-Magic-USB1-2BLK/dp/B005CRGMYO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_10&smid=AUBW5TP4HNIAN

but its kinda strange and very expensive, so im hoping that someone can find something cheaper

it has a 20g actuation pressure, so im hoping that someone can find something similiar so we can get him a keyboard he can use

 

thank you, everyone

45g actuation force but the travel distance is minimal so you dont have to press all the way down, how bout this?

Cherry MX clears has ~35g acctuation force, you should check them out

was hoping for something lower.  it doesnt matter if its mechanical.  force is what matters

no worries

ive done a shitload of research, i just was hoping someone might just straight up know something about a keyboard with a close actuation force and lower price

[Messisan321]

There are some glass ones, they are just some kind touch, look them up.

Where do you live? Take him to your local Computer Store. (NCIX, Memory Express, Microcenter etc) and get him to test the switches. If he can press it then buy it.

The Corsair rapid fire series might be good, they have 45g actuation force but a greatly reduced travel distance. You may want to go to a local computer store and try out some switches.

Wrong. It's Gateron Clear that are 35g

 

Cherry Clear is 55g

And has a more accentuated tactile bump, superior to Cherry MX brown.
