Many commands are hold+press, but you can use one finger on two hands or two fingers on one hand. The concern I have is that the keys are fairly flat. The 5 is indented, but someone with neuropathy might have trouble. With an average sense of touch, this isn't a problem and keys are differentiated, but someone with neuropathy might have more trouble without the addition of extra dots. Fortunately, all keys are big enough that adding stick on dots or velcro or what not shouldn't be a problem. I don't know how all the commands could have been fit on something with just 20 keys if not for some two key commands though. Most of the two key things are things you shouldn't need to do much from the RiVO. Well, mostly. I think that commands that may be used more often have keys that are closer together though, so that they can be more easily pressed. -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or 888-75-BUDDY
