I got emailed this article by my 60 something year old uncle and naturally, as anything I receive in such a manner, I rushed to post it here to the Something Awful Forums.





quote:

Instead of the 1 dimensional buttons that keyboards use, CharaChorder switches detect motion in 3 dimensions so users have access to over 300 unique inputs without their fingers breaking contact with the device. What is far more powerful however, is that users can type entire words in a single motion by pressing all the letters of a word simultaneously. CharaChorder’s internal processor arranges the letters on-screen in real time faster than the human eye can perceive.

:thunk: anyway the guy that makes the thing has a TikTok which was in that article

So how many are you going to order? They're only $250!

This is barbaric. We are pushing our speedrunners levels of injury and this will only further endanger them! We must consider the ethical ramifications of science going too far!

You can tell this article is bullshit because there won't be any keyboards in the future because humanity will plug their brains right into their computers and control them with their minds.

Also aren't those "3D" switches actually two dimensional? They only go in 4 directions and not in or out :thunk:

All the letters of a word, unless it contains any two letters mapped onto the same stick, or any repeated letters.

Or is an anagram of another common word.
