2) AlphaCore Keyboard

Core vocabulary is a small set of high-usage words that account for about 75% of the words we say.

Designed for those using an alternate access method such as a mouse, touchpad, trackball, joystick, head or eye-tracking. The AlphaCore keyboard provides rapid sentence building with single hit selection of high frequency core vocabulary.
