AlphaGrip's 3D Keyboard Ready For Pre-Orders
bic2k writes "AlphaGrip has opened their doors to pre-orders this past week. (Previously mentioned here.) Press release can be found here. They look a lot like an xbox controller, but contains 42 buttons and a analog stick. Shows up as a standard USB keyboard and mouse. Has a USB expansion slot, which will possibly be used for wireless connectivity. They claim typing speeds of 50 WPM or better after a month or so. They're waiting for 5000 pre-orders before going to manufacturing, so it may be awhile before they actually ship these."
How can I type on something that is shaped like a tooth? Looks like the N-Gage engineers have worked their magic once again!
You aren't free to do anything, until you've lost everything.
Seems like it would be pretty nice if only I had three hands.
Now i'll be able to blast my way through level 7 in Word XP!
The "Insert Quote Here" line is almost as predictable as inserting an actual quote.
Some of us have large hands. Will someone please build a keyboard for us!
Or we will crush your puny heads! I'm crushing your head right now!

Simple, double-sided tape. Since your keyboard and mouse are now one item, you shouldn't need to have your hands on anything else. The next version is promising to have a handy little nose scratcher attachement as well, so when your hands are effectively glued to this device, you can still scratch yourself. Scratching your crotch with a controller still isn't testing very well, except amongst a surprisingly high percentage of female testers...
what? Typing of the Dead was the bomb!

Woah, it has a rumble feature too?!
... a console controller for playing 'nethack'.
