A One-Handed Keyboard For $25
Bruce Perens writes "Slashdot has often featured attempts at improvement upon the QWERTY keyboard. Here's a one-handed USB keyboard that you can buy for $25 online, or a bit more at the CompUSA. There's one catch: someone will have to design a keying pattern and hack up software for it. It's a task just crying out for an Open Source project." Bruce has also included on the linked page code with which to read the output from the device.

What is the sound of one hand typing?
elSpike out.
Writer must be stuffed, this couldn't possibly become a successfu... oh Bruce Perens, ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h
Wow, great idea! Lets start coding! Where's the source-forge page?
Imagine what you could do with two of those!
...trackball that is, I find it an excellent way to use AutoCAD. ...oh...you didn't think that......
;)
you people are sick....
A goal is a dream with a deadline
My QWERTY is just fine, as long as I use one hand at a time:
Fred was a fat ass
"Hop on my jolly polonium puppy, you union ho'..."
Greedy Fred created extra stewardesses
"Union ho?" I'll kill you!
Badass stewardesses cratered Fred
Unholy, huh?
The idea with open source is that it only takes one sucker to write the driver and the rest can benefit from the novelty of it.
