Hi Peter, You could easily be right about the 3 semi-adjustable sizes times 2 handednesses. There is afterall a pretty big range to be covered between small...
I know, you've pondered the question for years, and here comes a rookie... but maybe a fresh view might help... The problem with the existing prototypes is...

There's much to what you say Peter. I haven't gotten very far toward making these prototypes look like a manufactured product. They're really only suitable...
And again, I'm sure you've thought about all possibilities much more than I did, but here my ideas: Conceiving a portable keyboard and nevertheless being...

I have mixed feelings about Bluetooth, etc. One definitely wants the convenience of a wireless link: no tangled cords, no broken connectors. On the other...
I understand your fears about spreading your keyboard data into the world by radio, but let's look at some facts: I think the bluetooth is specified to reach...

I've posted new code for the keyboard+mouse at http://chordite.com/news.htm It has several, uh, enhancements....
Well, I've gotten back to the project and have everything working (I'm typing (chording?) with it now!). Thanks John, your suggestions were very helpful. Re:...
That's great to hear, Paul, and thanks for that great link on programming the chip under Linux. I wish I'd had that 3 years ago. Yesterday for uninteresting...
Could this be built? If so, could I operate the "single-button" pad and my standard keyboard on a single computer(at the same time)? I am currently finishing...
I suffer from a little-known disease called TA syndrome that's only seen in people who spent way too much time in school. It compels me to try to construct a...

... Alan, The way I understand you now is that you essentially want to put another switch in parallel with a switch on a standard qwerty keyboard. I think the...
I tried to play the .avi's and got the error: "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file may be formatted with an unsupported codec, or the Internet ...
Well we've just got to find a way. You must see this blockbuster epic. Are you by chance running an antique operating system like NT, just because you've got...
I inexplicably said .wmd instead of .wmv BTW this is the command line I used to make the .avi's: mencoder standing.mov -o test2.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts ...
I don't know what you did/didn't do to the .avi's but I'm able to play them now on my home computer and wasn't able to play them when I replied ealier on my...
Maybe it was Big Brother. A lot of pointy haired bosses go to great lengths to prevent .avi watching at work. Subtracting off the 5 seconds spent, in the...
Mr. McKown Since running across your site, I've done quite a lot of research on handheld keyboards. You really seem to have something unique. I'm offering my...

FYI, I'm stil lurking. I've been reading every post, hoping that someone will get us to a small, durable, adjustable chassis. Every time I visit a hardware,...
