Typing shouldn’t be a struggle. But for people who live with Parkinson’s disease, even basic computer use can become frustrating. Hands that once moved effortlessly now hesitate, miss keys, or freeze up. Most keyboards weren’t made with this in mind. OnCue Keyboard was.
ONCUE is a compact, modular keyboard paired with lightweight wristbands that offer subtle vibrations and visual cues to help guide rhythm and movement. The idea is simple: help the body keep time, and the mind can focus on the task, not the tremor.
Designed by Alessandra Galli, the layout of ONCUE Keyboard is ortholinear, straight rows, even spacing, to reduce finger travel and simplify motion. The form is small and low-profile, designed to encourage a more natural wrist angle. Nothing flashy, just thoughtful. It’s not trying to solve everything. It’s just trying to make typing feel a little easier. A little more possible.
This version intentionally avoids marketing polish or “AI cadence” and embraces a more restrained, design-forward voice—almost like a product designer or user researcher speaking directly to a small, thoughtful audience.
