Re: [epilepsy] Miniaturization of technology and how epileptics are affected

 

Exactly!! If it isn't the meds causing the muscle twitches, the E itself causing the muscle twitches, or both, the muscle twitches are made worse by flat keyboards having to hold the hands in the air.

I have this same issue. I do think this is epilepsy related, in a round
about way. The meds can cause us to have fine motor skill issues, so
learning to type on a new size keyboard can be hard. Also, epilepsy can
cause processing issues, so the feel of a different size keyboard can
also be disconcerting. Why we bought my laptop we specifically looked
for one with a full size keyboard, that had space between the keys. Any
that had smaller sized keyboards, or where the keys were all flush to
each other, were ruled out.
