# handykeeb
## About
One-handed keyboard designed for individuals with limb loss or limited hand function.
Conditions in which this keyboard can be useful include:
- hemiplegia
- blindness (reading a braille screen with one hand while typing with the other hand)
- as well as other conditions where typing with only one hand is required
Currently working on [v1](./src/v1/)
