This paper reports a study on developing of a new thumb keyboard named Tagtype. Conventional keyboards for computer were originally developed for professional typists. However ordinary people have to use such keyboards in office and at home because computers have been in use widely. It needs much time to get skill to use conventional keyboards, and not a few elderly and/or physically handicapped people feel it difficult to get used to the keyboards because they have so many keys designed for ten-finger typing. A new keyboard named Tagtype with ten main keys is developed based on the universal design concept. Only thumbs of two hands are needed to press the keys. It provides ordinary people with much easier access to computers and also has promising potential for future systems.
