Would have turned the switches the other way around tho.

There is someone out there who will still be faster on this than I am on a regular keyboard.

But wearing chainmail gloves disqualifies them!

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

I could see it being possible to use, if they were the spring-loaded momentary toggles, and mounted upside down, so up was off. It would still be horrible, but possible.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

Another horrible idea, make just the change in position create a keystroke. That way the orientation doesn't matter

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

How about it also have 3 stands.

When flicking up it is a capital, flicking down is a regular letter

Someone who plays StarCraft? Now that is something I have not seen in a long time.

Needs a gauge of sorts & to be mounted overhead.

....cries out in carpal tunnel

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

As someone who had carpal tunnel in both hands that had to be fixed surgically, this would be an absolute nightmare to use. My hands cramp just thinking about it.

Typing speed measured in flops

Url only runs at 3 decahertz!

TitleWHAT?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I bet there's actual gains to be made from the 8-way hat version of this keyboard.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Only if you also add one of these:

Finished with engine

This is a mood

[-] Reverendender 4 points 1 month ago

I never knew I needed one of these until now

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

just when i think i can't get any crazier

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Does it, at that specific point, become even crazier?

Ngl, generally I find (non-violent) escalation entertaining.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Hmmmmmmm.

Hold my beer.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

indeed. but why no numpad? perhaps that could escalate things further.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Correct, the next logical step.
It is needed!!

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I'm getting some Pixar Lifted vibes from this!

Ohhh, so that keyboard has a yoke too (for mouse movement)?

Amazing!

I'm not sure they have the power to arrest Satan incarnate.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Maybe that can be a useful ideia for someone that has Parkinson or something similar. It seems easier to avoid mistakes while "typing".

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Make it so!
