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...
I am going to try and build my first keyboard. I was thinking i would buy my parts from Mouser.com rather than digikey because they seem to have better prices...
Sure, Mouser is swell. I hadn't been to mouser.com in a long time and it's very nice now although browsing via .pdf gets out of control after a while in my...
It looks like Mouser Part #: 571-1034148 would work as the header, should you decide to connectorize. I don't find any keyboard extension cables at Mouser. If...
Slashdot had an article yesterday [1] on the Alphagrip [2], which is to be held in both hands like a game controller. In fact it is a game controller along...
I have 4 extra printed circuit boards left over from the previous (mouseless) generation of prototypes as described in keyboard.zip. I'd like to give them...
Seppo's websites gkos.com and gkos.net are looking very nice these days. At them Seppo provides free PIC software and circuit designs for a six-key chording...
I've been considering how much work it would be to make a USB chording keyboard (one that plugs directly into a USB port instead of using a ps2/usb converter...
I got a thoughtful little note today from Digi-Key saying Atmel has declared my favorite chip obsolete and wants the world to use the ATTiny2313 instead. A...
I have the feeling there are now automated ways to post spam in unmoderated Yahoo news groups and that spam is going to increase dramatically. This will annoy...
As far as I know there isn't such a board. I never got around to it and I expect nobody else did either. What I did is use the old board gluing parts and...
I've been fooling around with the open source program "pcb" under Linux and have layed out a board for the latest keyboard+mouse design as found in the current...
