CyKey

CyKey

Chris Rainey re-introduced Microwriting for PC and Palm PDAs with a standalone miniature chording keyboard called CyKey, after co-inventing the Microwriter in the 1980s. The CyKey caters to both left and right-handed users, being 9-keys. CyKey (pronounced sai-ki or "psyche") is named after the Microwriter chord system's co-inventor Cy Endfield, who died in 1995 but the name also reflects its intuitive nature.

A CyKey, and its past versions as MicroWriter and MicroWriter AgendA.
