Happy to report the sliders are now keyboard accessible! :)

Turns out keyboard support was only introduced 10 days ago: https://github.com/leongersen/noUiSlider/issues/724#issuecom...

We have plans to do some more comprehensive accessibility testing in the near future, but in the meantime, please let me know if you come across any other accessibility issues.

Thank you!

Just gave this another look and the sliders do work with my screen reading software which is an improvement. As far as I can tell the page up and down keys don't move in larger increments. Home and end don't move to the top or bottom either. Because of this when looking for servers priced between $0 and $5 I had to repeatedly hit left arrow a bunch of times. Ideally I could have gone to the maximum price slider, hit home to set it to 0, then hit right arrow several times to find my maximum price. I assume this is behavior of the noUiSlider framework and not code you have written.
