... someone linked this in a Discord server and it's just too horrible not to repost.

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

What about left and right?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Fucking brilliant.

Fucking keytar hero shit. And not the cool keytars.

Ah, the Tom Paris Edition!

Needs a gauge of sorts & to be mounted overhead.

Url only runs at 3 decahertz!

TitleWHAT?

....cries out in carpal tunnel

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year 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.

just when i think i can't get any crazier

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

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

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

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

Hmmmmmmm.

Hold my beer.

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

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

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

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

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

I'm getting some Pixar Lifted vibes from this!

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

Amazing!

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

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

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

Only if you also add one of these:

Finished with engine

This is a mood

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

I never knew I needed one of these until now

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

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

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

Make it so!
