LogicKeyboard Dyslexia Keyboard — Dyslexie Font | PC & Mac

For someone with dyslexia, a standard keyboard is a daily obstacle — letters that look alike, mirror each other, or swap positions mid-thought. The LogicKeyboard Dyslexia Keyboard changes that. Developed in partnership with dyslexiefont.com, it uses the clinically designed Dyslexie font on every key, with color-coded groupings that make it immediately clear where vowels, consonants, numbers, and function keys live. Plug it in, and typing becomes a more confident, less frustrating experience — for students, professionals, and anyone who learns differently.

Key Features

• Dyslexie font keycaps — each letter has a heavier bottom, unique shape, and longer ascenders/descenders to prevent turning, mirroring, and swapping

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Dyslexie font and how does it help with dyslexia?

Dyslexie is a typeface specifically designed to reduce the letter confusion that many people with dyslexia experience. Each letter has a heavier bottom (creating a visual center of gravity), unique shapes that minimize similarity between easily confused pairs (like b/d and p/q), and longer ascenders and descenders. These design choices make it harder for the brain to flip, mirror, or swap letters — the core reading errors associated with dyslexia. The font was developed by Christian Boer, who has dyslexia himself, and is used in educational and professional settings worldwide.

Is this keyboard good for children with dyslexia?

Yes. The LogicKeyboard Dyslexia Keyboard is widely used in educational settings for students with dyslexia, from early learners through secondary school. The color-coded key groups (vowels, consonants, numbers, function keys) help children learn keyboard layout faster, while the Dyslexie font reduces the letter confusion that makes typing frustrating. It’s plug-and-play, so no IT setup is required — ideal for classrooms and home learning environments.

Can adults with dyslexia benefit from this keyboard?

Absolutely. Many adults with dyslexia find that the Dyslexie font reduces the cognitive effort required to type accurately, particularly for those who are not touch typists or who frequently mistype similar-looking letters. It’s used by professionals in office, creative, and healthcare environments who want to reduce typing errors and fatigue associated with dyslexia.

Is this keyboard suitable for users with other learning disabilities, such as ADHD or dyscalculia?

The color-coded layout and visually distinct key groupings can benefit users with a range of learning differences, including ADHD (by reducing visual clutter and improving orientation) and dyscalculia (by clearly distinguishing number keys from letter keys). It is primarily designed for dyslexia but is used broadly in special education and assistive technology contexts.

Does the keyboard work with assistive technology software like screen readers or text-to-speech tools?

Yes. The LogicKeyboard Dyslexia Keyboard is a standard USB HID keyboard — it is fully compatible with assistive technology software including screen readers (JAWS, NVDA), text-to-speech tools (Read&Write, Kurzweil), and other accessibility software on both PC and Mac. No special drivers are required.

How does this compare to a standard keyboard with a dyslexia-friendly font applied in software?

Software-based dyslexia fonts change what appears on screen, but the keyboard itself still shows standard lettering — meaning the disconnect between what you see on the keys and what you see on screen remains. The LogicKeyboard Dyslexia Keyboard puts the Dyslexie font directly on the physical keys, so the visual experience is consistent from hand to screen. For users who look at the keyboard while typing, this is a meaningful difference. It also requires no software configuration and works across all applications automatically.

Is there a wireless or Bluetooth version available?

The current LogicKeyboard Dyslexia Keyboard is USB wired only. The wired connection ensures plug-and-play reliability with no pairing, battery management, or connectivity issues — which is particularly valuable in classroom and institutional settings. If wireless is a priority for your setup, contact us and we can advise on alternatives.

Does it work with Mac and iPad?

The Mac version (LKB-DYSLEX-CWMU-US) is designed for macOS. For iPad use, compatibility depends on your iPad model and iOS version — many USB keyboards work with iPad via a USB-C or Lightning adapter, but we recommend confirming compatibility with your specific device before ordering. Contact us if you need guidance.

What is the difference between the PC and Mac versions?

The PC version (LKB-DYSLEX-BJPU-US) is optimized for Windows (XP through 11) with standard PC key labeling including Windows and Alt keys. The Mac version (LKB-DYSLEX-CWMU-US) uses Mac-specific key labeling including Command, Option, and Control keys. Both use the same Dyslexie font and color-coded layout — the difference is purely in key labeling and OS optimization.
