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!

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.

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

How about it also have 3 stands.

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

Needs a gauge of sorts & to be mounted overhead.

....cries out in carpal tunnel

LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

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.

just when i think i can't get any crazier

Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y (3 replies)

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

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

ReakDuck@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Hmmmmmmm.

Hold my beer.

jenny_ball@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

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

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

Amazing!

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

Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee · 12 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Only if you also add one of these:

flango@lemmy.eco.br · 3 pts · 2y

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

electricprism@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Make it so!
