FrogPad

FrogPad

FrogPad is a small Chorded keyboard about the size of a numeric keypad that can be used with one hand.

The keyboard is optimized by character frequency. 85% of average keystrokes in English text can by typed without chording, and chords are limited to 2 fingers (opposable thumb and one finger). As a result, the FrogPad has many more keys than a GKOS or Microwriter or Baudot keyboard but many fewer than a QWERTY keyboard or Dvorak keyboard.

History

The founder and CEO of the company is Linda Marroquin.
