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...

Hi Tim, Heck, for a decent adjustable frame I'd wire and program chips for you 'till the cows come home. And more. This whole thing is really a mechanical...

wow...this keyboard idea has really gotten stuck in my crop. I hope you'll excuse me, Mr. McKown, if I go off on a bit of a tangent. I work alone, on the...

Scads of money would be swell! But really I'd just like to be able to buy a wearable one-hander that goes in a pocket, doesn't have me continually strapping...
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,...
Thanks for the words, jtokash :) It seems unreasonable to expect any one handed device to meet or beat the rate at which you can type with any full sized...

I have to say I'm getting a little suspicious about one of my Omron D2F-FL switches (Digi-Key # SW153-ND). I recommended them because they have a short throw,...
2 months now I've been too lazy to replace the balky keyswitch I complained about in the last note even though it has worsened. I've learned to press it extra...
Googling, I don't find any treadmills with Doom, etc. Apparently lots of people have talked about such things but no products pop up for me. Maybe the closest...

It strikes me that a Chordite would be great for a tablet PC. Sometimes there is no real substitute for typing. If you're really ambitious, you could hold the...
It strikes me that a safe mode would prevent accidental keystrokes while the Chordite was in a pocket. One could use the computer with the keyboard plugged in....
Of course you're right: any real pocket keyboard needs something like that. The prototypes don't have a safe mode. They're very unsafe ;-). Fortunately...
