The MultiKey (Liberator) is a button interface for people with a physical disability that connects to their computer via the USB port.

Enables users to access all Windows software with separate buttons.
It has 14 connections (seven on each side) that are used to change the function of the connected button.
For example, connect a button and the button will act as a left mouse click, do it in another and it will play space bar.
Other functions: arrow keys, enter, and backspace key.
To work with several pupils or pupils on a computer with separate buttons, without having to change the software settings every time for each child, the user plugs a button into another hole to change the function of the button.
Immediately effect changes in the use of separate buttons.
It has three separately adjustable buttons to fine-tune the use of the individual buttons:
- Acceptance Delay Sets how long the button must be pressed to accept the button action. Important to prevent 'accidents' with buttons pressed too quickly.
- Repeat Rate Set to change the time elapsing between the different presses of the button. This prevents buttons from being pressed one after the other.
- Debounce Time This dial controls how long the user has to wait before he can press a button again. All further activities within this set time are ignored. Handy when a user in a row 'bangs' on the button, for example in the case of tremors.
