KeyStrokes 4 users can also benefit from LayoutKitchen by designing custom keyboards that suit their taste with images, colors, and fonts, and a variety of keys and functions that they desire. Meanwhile, Proloquo users can use LayoutKitchen to create their speech panels that feature commonly used phrases or communication panels for people who cannot read or write, using images on the buttons.

Additionally, LayoutKitchen offers both mouse-based (drag and drop) and keyboard-based interfaces (keyboard shortcuts) for many actions, catering to a variety of users. It also includes functions making it easier for switch users to design their panels with limited use of a mouse.
