A Mechanical Keyboard Designed for Lawyers
Summary
Reader reaction to that 2017 post was so enormous that, as I wrote a few days later, “Never in my 14 years of blogging and more than two decades of covering legal technology have I seen the legal world react to a new product as it did this week to the LegalBoard.” Related: Hands On With the LegalBoard — The Keyboard Just for Lawyers. The USB keyboard works easily out of the box, but to use the legal-specific functions, you first need to open a small executable file. However, because the LegalType keyboard is programmable, it is easy to create macros for any of these or any other terms and phrases. Flip a couple DIP switches on the keyboard to put it into programming mode, then easily create a macro, such as “Fn+p” to enter the word plaintiff. Combine that convenience with the tactile pleasure and durability of a mechanical keyboard, and you just may find yourself eager to get started on that brief you need to write.
