ERICK - Inclusive Keyboard

ERICK is an inclusive keyboard built for people who want fewer tiny taps, more predictable movement, and a calmer typing experience. Instead of a crowded QWERTY grid, ERICK uses two radial dials to type chords. That gives you large touch targets, lower movement, and a layout that can be learned step by step.

ERICK was designed with disabled users in mind, especially people with motor access needs, fatigue, pain, one-handed use needs, or anyone who finds small phone keyboards stressful. It can also help users who prefer a more structured visual layout, larger targets, controller typing, or on-device privacy.

What ERICK includes:

- 6-section and 8-section dial modes

- Quick Type, Steady Type, and one-handed Assisted mode

- Controller support with shared diagnostics

- Logical and Efficiency layouts

- Practice lessons, quickstart guidance, and quote practice

- Colorblind-safe palettes and dyslexia-friendly options

- On-device predictions with no cloud typing collection

Research in this project supports strong ergonomic and motor-accessibility potential, including much lower wrist movement in related chorded-keyboard studies and strong long-term speed potential with practice. The current evidence is strongest for motor accessibility.

If you want a keyboard that is different from QWERTY, easier to scan, more privacy-friendly, and built around accessibility first, try ERICK.
