Hi All - I'm a mechanical engineering student and am currently working on a project for a senior-level Biomechanics class. We are looking to create a simplified keyboard for people with partial/complete finger amputations (specifically where reaching all of the keys on a typical QWERTY keyboard would be impacted). With this in mind, we're hoping to ask a few questions and see what we can learn from the community :)

• What current solutions have you found to be the most helpful with typing?
  • Is it a mechanical solution, or something more electronic?
• Do you prefer something similar to what already exists, or would you be open to learning an entirely new device?
• When do you find yourself typing the most?
  • Just day-to-day searches, or frequent typing due to writing, job-related tasks, coding, etc.?
• Are there any cool solutions that you've seen on the market? Or anything that you've seen and thought 'wow that totally sucks'?
• Any other thoughts coming to mind?

Please let me know if you have any ideas on this topic! Thank you all :)
