Re: Custom Keyboards

I'll probably agree largely with your idea too. I haven't really heard it,
though, and the only part that had thought of before writing that email was
this part:

"The main problem with all keyboards is the static loading that occurs when
one isn't pressing the button. Ideally, keyboards should be designed such
that you can relax your arm entirely when you're not pressing the buttons.

I think the real answer is using something other than the fingers to type."

Even if we can't agree on a single design, we'd get lots of ideas and
perhaps agree on a few designs.
