Since PS/2 is going away (and gone already for the computers of most interest), all commercial keyboards have to migrate. Atmel has been selling keyboard...
Hmmm.... I've found some nice Marquardt keymodule switches[1], and have gotten some samples. They are actuated using a linear rather than curved movement...
Russell, you're right in saying my configurations to date involve the fingers being less curled than what you're calling the neutral position. Your relaxed...
If I wanted to build a one-hander and didn't want to do it precisely as described at chordite.com (using the middle and distal phalanges), I'd put the two...
... This is true for me. Unfortunately, the dog ate my keyboard, so I can't test keying. Sigh. I was planning to re-make it from scratch anyway, but I would...
Well, those hand-supported prior arts do obviously function, strictly speaking, so the PTO is satisfied. It's just that that mimimal, technical level of...
I'm now blogging my keyboard attempts. I'm up to the Mark V, and it's still not quite right. All suggestions gladly entertained. See below: -- --my blog is...
All I would say (there's always something :-) is (a) You maybe could cut some rectangles and slip them into the boxes (what are these more precisely called ---...
Microsoft is promoting a new, smaller type of tablet PC they call Origami. It looks like it has a stylus but no keyboard at all and will rely on hand writing...
John, The UMPC doesn't rely on hand+voice - MS has a thumb input system as pictured here: http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/cebit-web-site-shows-origami-ui/ ...
This is for the benefit of anyone who doesn't subscribe to the Wearable Hardware Discussion List [1]. Daniel Hengeveld supplied there a link to a very...
Hello, I'm sorta new to the chordic input device thing, although it blends nicely with some of my current interests. I came across this story in the back of...
I just went through the latest SBIR solicitation [1] and no luck: no one is asking for better wearable keyboards. The Army, however, has put forth project...
Have you ever had to participate in one of those corporate-style brainstorming sessions where people blurt out whatever comes to mind while a facilitator...
The Mark VIII keyboard is now up at http://blog.russnelson.com/chordite/ ! This one is functional, as opposed to a cardboard mockup. -- --my blog is at...
Interesting how those lens-shaped openings appear at the bends. You're going to need to stop that fraying where the corregated touches the heel of the hand....
Has anybody ever made any charts designed for learning the chords? I've made a reasonable diagram for learning one-key and two-key chords. The three-key chord...
Maybe I'm missing what you mean Russ. The files section of this group has a chart in alphabetical order and of course in the download there's that one in...
... yeah, I cut a slot with the idea that that would help me make the bend because there was less plastic to have to heat up. Didn't work, because the edges...
... I'm looking to manufacture the keyboard, and I fully expect that customers will have (or at least perceive) a steeper learning curve than the one you...
I have no idea how he did it but I just put into the files section two very nifty chord diagrams made by Paul Bryant; one each for left- and right-hand units....
A friend of mine points out that you can expand the size of the gesture space by taking the order of the button press into account. For example, S is assigned...
Several such schemes, some of them insanely intricate, have been patented in the US. The patents typically expire fruitlessly and become public domain. You...

I found the Chordite site yesterday, and the planets were in the right alignment to spark my interest. Here's what I came up with after a few hours last night...
