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!

    Scratching your crotch with a controller still isn't testing very well, except amongst a surprisingly high percentage of female testers.

    Woah, it has a rumble feature too?!
