My “Pick” for today is this fantastic Mikuso Large Print Backlit Keyboard.

If you or someone you love has a vision problem that makes it difficult to make out the letters, numbers and symbols on your computer’s keyboard, this awesome replacement keyboard can really help.

In addition to the oversized print on the keys, it’s also backlit which makes it easy to see to type under low-light conditions.
