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 Fast?

Is 50 words per minute suppose to be good? I can easily double that on a QWERTY keyboard.

Crazy

all i an say is WTF were they somkin when they came up with this

An answer to the masturbatory problem

[Loundry]

Many folks here are commenting (jokingly) about how this device can be used one-handed. I think what people need to accept is that this is actually a serious question: "How can I use this device while masturbating?" Loser jokes aside, many geek masturbate while in front of a keyboard, be it in some sexy chat (lucky) or thumbing through porn (typical).

I think this device could be improved by having a Penis Slot(TM). It would be a dimple (or Trench Option(TM), for the well-endowed nerd) on the device that, with the flick of a switch, would fire up the Force Feedback on "Unrelenting Vibrate " mode. Thus, at the user's command, the user can just move the whole unit onto his excited member and never take his hands off the keys.

Now, with *that* option, perhaps $100 doesn't seem so steep!
