The Problem
For many people, typing on a conventional keyboard can be difficult, inconvenient, or impossible to do comfortably with one hand. Others need to interact with technology while keeping their eyes focused on something else. Conventional keyboards also require users to navigate complex layouts containing 80 or more keys, creating an opportunity for a simpler alternative.
DecaTxt takes a different approach: with only ten keys, worn on one hand, it uses simple chord combinations to create text and commands. The result is a wearable input interface that can help users type while keeping their eyes on the task at hand. Its one-handed design also creates new possibilities for accessibility, mobile computing, gaming, smart devices, and wearable technology.
The DecaTxt Kickstarter campaign launches September 21, 2026, with rewards offering backers savings of up to 50% off the keyboard. The campaign has also earned Kickstarter's Projects We Love badge.
"This effort will build Kickstarter-exclusive DecaTxt keyboards and stretch goals to provide new capabilities to this amazing tool," said Wayne Rasanen, President of IN10DID, Inc. "We are excited to put DecaTxt into the hands of more people and continue expanding what this interface can do."
Previous DecaTxt customers have compared it with other one-handed chord keyboards and described DecaTxt as the best one-handed chord keyboard they have tried. Another with hand tremors says it shakes with him, making typing easier that a conventional keyboard.

IN10DID believes the future of computing should not be limited by the traditional keyboard orginally designed in the 1870s. DecaTxt gives customers a simple way to interact with the digital world, whether they need an assistive technology, want to type with one hand, or simply want to interact with their devices without looking down.
