Hi, I've wanted to build my own chordite for two years now, but didn't even manage to purchase the needed parts. I know this is kind of a bold question, but...
Hi Marius, I maybe should have offered prototype kits a long time ago but (a :-) I'm even lazier than you are and (b) I would fear that people who payed me for...
I think you got me wrong. ... I'm not as "lazy" as this sounds. I'm just too busy studying and doing other things I can (Which excludes finding the right parts...
Sorry. I hope you get a taker but personally I want at least $150/hr to do stuff for other people. That's what retirement is: your diminishing time becomes so...
Two new blog postings here: http://blog.russnelson.com/chordite/index.html -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com | You can do any damn thing ...
Verrry interesting Russ. You're providing a close fit to the palm instead of what I've been calling the heel brace or back brace or whatever it is that I've...
In case you didn't know, the US patent office and patent law generally are completely out of control. One of the things that still happens is the "submarine...
Hello Guys, I had my eyes on the frogpad but I got discourage about the feedback from programmers (like me :)) then I bump in this site and it got me excited....
Hi Regin, AFAIK, the answers are yes, yes, no. Early on, I discounted touch-sensitive keys based on my understanding that people object to them in keyboards,...
Hi John, Thanks for the input. Regarding touch switch, my perspective is not on the speed but its more on preference. I beleive consumers of this product may...
... I'm working on it. The best BT keyboard controller chip is the Broadcom BT2042. Unfortunately, they are very stingy with programming information for the...
Hi Russ, Thank you for response :) ( I read you profile I have to say your knowledge and experience is way beyond my reach :D wow.....) what are your thoughts...
Hello Everyone, I would just like to solicit feedback/opinions/violent reactions. What if..... 1) Making the chordite from a round pipe maybe a diameter of a...
Been there, tried that, still have the prototypes. As discussed here before it's too hard to type with fingers that are also gripping --- possible but really...
... 21B1EC66E583B58C8625725E006E78DA/$file/b6ts-08_manual.pdf ... Hi Regin, Looks interesting. I don't know how useful it would be for a chordite style...
... I've only built three working keyboards all using the same keymodule, so I may not know what I'm talking about. I speculate that the keyboard would be...
... What thumb buttons? It sounds like you're trying to reinvent the Twiddler(tm). I think that most of us are here because we don't think the Twiddler makes...
... ... I speculate that the keyboard would be harder to use if you couldn't touch a key without making a keypress. You would have to deliberately hold your...
Hi John, Thanks for feedback. The ewi keys are touch switches. Since its a wind synthesizer, it would only play when you blow on it. But I do realize the...
Hi Russ, Thanks for feedback. I would like to know the reason behind the chordite not having any buttons for the thumb since its one of the strongest finger? ...
Variations on this question arise repeatedly. First Church of Chordite dogma holds that even though the keyboard is held by the operating hand, the typing...
I briefly got curious about changes in the way mouse mode works that might make it less annoying to use. My present code, kbm06, has acceleration of a sort:...
Between the double lines below is an excerpt from Greg Aharonian's Internet Patent News Service newsletter [1], 30 May 2007 edition, which quotes a letter in...
... [..] ... If I understood how "mouse mode" works, you could use remaining keys to accelerate manually. The second idea i got is double-/trible-pressing....
