Shoot for the stars with the Asterisk keyboard. Type at speeds unimaginable with a regular keyboard. Leverage the efficiency of stenography.

The Asterisk keyboard is one of the most affordable stenography keyboards on the market today.

⚠️ Warning: The Asterisk uses touch-sensitive keys prone to accidental touches, which may take some time to get used to. It is best to hover your fingers above the keys during use. In fact, hovering is the proper steno form on any steno device. However, if you feel hovering is not for you, you can opt for the Uni or Polyglot. The Uni and Polyglot allow you to rest your hands on the keys without accidentally activating them.

Specifications:

  • Touch capacitive sensors.
  • Home row holes for easy key differentiation (United States Patent Pending).
  • Traditional steno machine layout with top number bar.
  • Compatible with Plover and Javelin.
  • Printed layout
  • Blinking LED
  • USB C connection.
  • Adjustable sensitivity.
  • Simple design and construction.
  • Dimensions : 233mm x 90mm x 5mm(h)

Its great for the price, and it works just as expected with Plover! Definitely recommend to others wanting to get into stenography, and will definitely venture into their other products as I gain experience.

I have mixed feelings. I like it. Think it’s cool but not for what I had hoped to use it for. Taking a steno theory class and wanted to use it to practice without having to carry a heavy machine everywhere. With the keys being flat, the led sensory on the keys are so sensitive that it doesn’t allow you to comfortably feel your way around the keys. You’re literally hovering over it. You feel blind. It’s probably good for someone who has passed theory and wants to have it as an extra keyboard but for a beginner in court reporting school, I don’t think it’s the best option. That’s my take on it. I need to be able to feel my keys as I’m learning. The sensory doesn’t allow that.
