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...
Here is an updated <a href="http://www.110hz.com/sciences/mechproj.html" target="_blank">graphic</a> and there will be more explanation to go with it. There...

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...

There is not much that I can think of that goes well with driving. Eating, talking on the cell, doing make-up, studying, shaving, looking up #'s in the phone...

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...
... like ... I'm sorry. I've been reading your website and lurking on this group since the NYTimes article. I have the funny feeling that this problem needs...
... It seems to me no one should apologize to old men. They're usually way ahead on sin, error and folly :-) It's got to fit acurately, within millimeters so,...
... I'm not apologizing. I'm just trying to be polite. You have much more invested in time, thought, and so on in this than I do. ... There remains the problem...
Well, I think switch placement per se is well taken care of in "place the center of the key contact area over the center of the (relaxed) phalanx." However...
I don't like straps for wearable keyboards. You can't just dedicate one whole hand exclusively for typing so you'd be constantly strapping and unstrapping. ...
I've uploaded some photos of a partially constructed new design to the photos section of this news group. It has the usual kingpin bolt and spacers but the...
I've posted two more pictures of my new design, trying to make clear how the adjustment works. Again the wiring is not yet in place. IMHO it's rather slick...
I've put a zip file with lots of pictures of the new design on chordite.com, accessible via the latest entry on the news page: http://chordite.com/news.htm...

Sounds super to me Rik. You guys are a little more sophisticated than I am in materials and techniques. It really does need USB but I'm too lazy. Please keep...
BTW I had an error on that new license page such that if you clicked on the top line of the agree/download you went to the wrong place but if you clicked on...
Thanks, At the moment it's only in oure heads, but in about a week or two we will be able to get the needed parts, so the real constructing can begin. In the...
