How do I change the order of the BigKeys keys from ABC to standard QWERTY layout, or from QWERTY to ABC?

The BigKeys is available with two key layout options, enabling you to find the perfect solution to your needs. It can be configured with either the standard QWERTY keyboard layout (as found on most keyboards) or the simpler ABC layout, ideal for newcomers to computers or dyslexics.

The BigKeys keyboard can be configured in either ABC order or standard QWERTY order. To change the order of the keys on your keyboard:

Change the Order Switch:
The order switch is located on the reverse side of the keyboard, on the left. Use a pencil tip to move the switch.
For QWERTY order, the switch should be towards the lower edge of the keyboard. For ABC order, the switch should be towards the upper edge of the keyboard.
(Once this switch is moved, the computer will interpret all keystrokes as coming from the alternate keyboard order.)

Rearrange the Keycaps:
Remove all of the large letter keycaps. This can be accomplished by looping a length of strong string under and at the centre of the keycap (dental floss works well for this), and pulling straight up with a quick, strong snap. Alternatively, we can supply a dual keycap puller.

Then snap the keycaps back on in the new configuration. Use the diagram as a guide for keycap placement.
