... [..] ... If I understood how "mouse mode" works, you could use remaining keys to accelerate manually. The second idea i got is double-/trible-pressing....
There are certainly better ways to handle acceleration. I am powerfully constrained by the odd way I implemented mouse mode in the code. Which is to say by...
... No problem, that's life. ;-) ... Talking of USB... are you still at it? (With the AT90USBKEY?) I just skimmed through the DFU (device firmware upgrade)...
Now that I think on it why are we assuming the thumb is to work the thumb stick when it's the fingers that have been liberated from grip duty. Thus, Toby, if...
... I think it worked OK, but I'm afraid that I've opted for an "Alphagrip 5" for my own project so I've stopped working on my chordite stuff for now....
... It might be worth a try, but I suspect that it would taking some getting used to. Maybe it's just me, but the kind of movements required to operate a "baby...
LAME Yesterday or the day before Slashdot cited the Evoluent Vertical Mouse <http://> , a table-supported thing with 5 buttons. It uses the "handshake" hand...
... Maybe that's the point. People are misguided by prices. They think the thing they're purchasing is actually worth as much as they pay. In short:...

So now I wonder how fast Steve Jobs can type on his iPhone or Blackberry. On typing with your thumbs: some time ago Paul May asked me to type as fast as I...
... Out of curiosity I typed that sentence on my HP 200LX. First attempt, 46 seconds with two thumbs. 33wpm Then I tried my PPC-6700, first attempt 62 seconds,...
For the record let me explicitly mention endurance yet again. If we were talking about running we would always distinguish sprint times from distance event...
... This is true. Also, I can type faster using any method if I'm just typing my thoughts (like right now) rather than copying something (even if it wasn't...
Craig I think for you I should have said I assume "typing on a regular qwerty, however you normally do it, is easier than thumbing on a miniature qwerty." I...
Hi. I'm going to build and give away two free Chordite keyboards. See http://blog.russnelson.com/770/free-chordites.html for details. -- --my blog is at...
Wow, Bluetooth no less. Very impressive Russ. I like how you avoided the need for chip firmware changes or a crossbar switch by moving the chord assembly to...
I just googled up a new chorder, the EkaPad. <http://www.ekatetra.com/information_news/wp060820-usbekapad.html> It has 12 keys layed out 3 by 4 on a flat...

Atmel's "at90usbkey" development board for their AVR+USB chip family costs $33 at Digi-Key. Right now they've got 105 in stock. It programs right through its...
As promised I've posted a hex file that implements a usb chordite on the at90usbkey board. I haven't hooked my board up to a real handset yet so it's only been...
A new file chordite003.hex is now in place. Chordite002.hex didn't actually work. 003 has been a little better tested. I hooked it up to a real switch assembly...
Another day, another version. ver. 004 uses the board's LEDs to show caps lock, modifiers and mouse mode. It still doesn't sleep. The at90usbkey board also...
Does the chordite code fit on an attiny26 with the firmware only USB? http://www.obdev.at/products/avrusb/index.html Seems like it'd be a nice solution....
