New Keyboard Technology

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the oh-please-gimme-some-of-that dept.

An anonymous reader sent in linkage to a story running on a few places about a new customizable keyboard. It's a bit beyond anything you've probably seen before. Also tom's has more.

      Obvious: Does it have any 'any' key?

      All keys can be 'any' key, so just hit any key. ...

      Doh!

      Heh, you could always program a macro so you actually would HAVE a key that does ctrl+alt+del. That would be bad ass.

      Could you map it to the Windows Key?

      "All keys can be 'any' key, so just hit any key."

      The screen said, "Press any key to continue".

      So I hit the Shift, Alt, and Ctrl on the right; then the Shift, Alt, and Ctrl on the left; then Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, Num Lock, and Pause.

      Then I filed a bug report, because almost 10% of the keys on my 101-key keyboard wouldn't cause a continue.

    Press Command-Spacebar to switch the layout from Qwerty to Dvorak in 10.4 - 0 dollars

    Getting your own thread on Fark with pictures of Darwin after you starve to death clutching your $150 keyboard -- priceless

    now not only do you have to memorize blank keys, you you have to memorize where you placed them! Genious!

    Oh, right, yeah. And the next thing you're going to demand is being able to change to an APL font without changing the spastic golf ball.

    This is the real world, buddy.
