Typing Aid

Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The aid is simple, but the clip has to be bent to fit your hand, and you may need a few tries to get a good angle. A family member can do this with a little patience in under 30 minutes, so it fits guided setup rather than self-serve.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This typing aid clips onto your hand and holds a soft plastic key depressor, so you can press keys without using a bare finger. It works on typewriters, computers, telephones, calculators, and similar devices with keys or buttons. The clip can be re-bent to fit your hand, which helps get a comfortable position. It suits someone who has trouble pressing individual keys with their fingers.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Slip the clip onto your hand and try pressing a few keys with the soft depressor.
  • With a guide
    1. Bend the metal clip a little at a time until it sits snugly and the depressor lines up with the keys you want to press.
    2. Practice on a keyboard or calculator for 10-15 minutes, adjusting the clip again if the fit or angle feels off. Ask an OT if you need help choosing the best hand position.
