B.A.T. One-handed Chording Keyboard

What is the B.A.T. Keyboard?

The BAT Personal Keyboard is an innovative, ergonomic, one- handed computer input device. Its exclusive chord set and simple design replicates all the functions of a traditional QWERTY keyboard yet with greater efficiency and convenience. The illustration above shows the left hand using the BAT, freeing the right hand to use the mouse full-time.

Research and Innovation:

Released in 1991, the BAT's exclusive chordset was developed by Dr. Daniel Gopher, an internationally recognized expert in human ergonomics and motor skills. His research focused on developing a highly advanced chordset that was easy to learn, easy to use, and most efficient.
