... someone linked this in a Discord server and it's just too horrible not to repost.

Would have turned the switches the other way around tho.

There is someone out there who will still be faster on this than I am on a regular keyboard.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 13 points 5 months ago

But wearing chainmail gloves disqualifies them!

[–] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I could see it being possible to use, if they were the spring-loaded momentary toggles, and mounted upside down, so up was off. It would still be horrible, but possible.

Another horrible idea, make just the change in position create a keystroke. That way the orientation doesn't matter

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

How about it also have 3 stands.

When flicking up it is a capital, flicking down is a regular letter

🤮, +1

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

[–] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Fucking brilliant.

[–] PsychedSy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

[–] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Someone who plays StarCraft? Now that is something I have not seen in a long time.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Bronze League Baddies in the house!

Ah, the Tom Paris Edition!

Needs a gauge of sorts & to be mounted overhead.

[–] brisk@aussie.zone 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Typing speed measured in flops

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Url only runs at 3 decahertz!

TitleWHAT?

....cries out in carpal tunnel

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

As someone who had carpal tunnel in both hands that had to be fixed surgically, this would be an absolute nightmare to use. My hands cramp just thinking about it.

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I bet there's actual gains to be made from the 8-way hat version of this keyboard.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 12 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Only if you also add one of these:

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Finished with engine

This is a mood

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

I never knew I needed one of these until now

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm getting some Pixar Lifted vibes from this!

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Ohhh, so that keyboard has a yoke too (for mouse movement)?

Amazing!

[–] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

just when i think i can't get any crazier

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Does it, at that specific point, become even crazier?

Ngl, generally I find (non-violent) escalation entertaining.

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Hmmmmmmm.

Hold my beer.

[–] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

indeed. but why no numpad? perhaps that could escalate things further.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Correct, the next logical step.
It is needed!!

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm calling the cops.

[–] SerotoninSwells@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I'm not sure they have the power to arrest Satan incarnate.

[–] flango@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 5 months ago

Maybe that can be a useful ideia for someone that has Parkinson or something similar. It seems easier to avoid mistakes while "typing".

[–] electricprism@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

Make it so!
