Typical price range, not a vendor quote. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The keyboard itself works as soon as you plug it in. Getting the full benefit means setting up ZoomText and, if you like, reassigning the function keys. A family member can do this with the instructions in about half an hour, so guided setup fits.

What it is

Summary

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

This keyboard has 36-point lettering on every key, printed in black on a yellow background, so the labels are easy to read even in low light. The F1 through F12 keys do double duty: press and hold one to trigger a ZoomText command, such as starting ZoomText, changing magnification, or opening AppReader or DocReader. You can also reassign those keys to other ZoomText, internet, or media commands, or to open a particular program, document, or web page. It suits someone who can still see to type but struggles with standard key labels, especially a ZoomText user who wants quick one-key access to features instead of memorizing hotkeys.
