[JAWS-Users] Mechanical USB keyboard that works well with JAWS2018 and Windows10

Hello, I am looking for a mechanical USB desktop keyboard that works well with JAWS2018 and Windows10. Such a keyboard is useful for an environment where one types for prolonged periods. Would anyone happen to have any suggestions? Thank you in advance for any responses For answers to frequently

Re: [JAWS-Users] Mechanical USB keyboard that works well with JAWS2018 and Windows10

If you can still get the Microsoft "Natural" keyboard, it is a full-sized ergonometric keyboard. The left and right hands are slightly skewed inward and outward for less RMI, so it is split in the middle. Easy to get used to the feel. I've been using this type of keyboard on all my computers

Hi, I have a Dell, and I could not find a way to navigate with JAWS in the Sound Card and TouchPad settings. I had to have a mouse user turn off the TouchPad, and make the generic sound card driver the default. JAWS was not a happy camper with the RealTech driver. I believe that there is a

Hi All, Just loaded JAWS 17 onto a new windows 10 computer. Now when I load up MS Word 16 documents or an Excel file JAWS is saying blank even though there is text contained within the Word document or numerical data in the Excel documents. I am not sure if this is a compatibility issue or not.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Mechanical USB keyboard that works well with JAWS2018 and Windows10

I don't have any concrete suggestions, because I always just grab whatever keyboard feels usable that's lying around some local second-hand store. I've also pilfered one or two from work departments over the years (they're always lying around). I had a fancy one for a while with lots of extra keys
