If I had a starship I'd have one installed on my forehead.

As for now mounted on my door as some obscure homage to Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy will do fine.

How much?


PS Haven't I seen that mounted on Darth Vader's chest before?

do not see the big deal. unless when you have fingers the size of elephant feet, you can program bigger buttons. i do not have 'em that big so I'll just pay 10 euro for my aggression therapeutic keyboard.

Looks pretty cool.  But i would think my fingers are too trained on the texture of keys.  I would bet your fingers, unless you keep looking down, would slowly migrate off center and your typing would go to shit.

reminds me of the indestructible rubber keyboards that you can roll up.  Neat concept, responds horribly.

I would wait out the technology for it to become common enough to be at a reasonable price, and when the market has responded to reliability, Accuracy questions.

1) tactus is a stupid name because, well quite simply, you're actually taking away a LOAD of tactile feedback.
2) do a test for me. move your keyboard, and pretend to type on your your desk for about 20 seconds. when you stop at 10 seconds because your finger fucking hurt you'll know why this is dumb. You need the spring keyboards provide.
3) this is concept only, so no video's and what not. besides which, even if these muscle heads do ever produce it, based on their other keyboard, it'd probably cost 2-3 THOUSAND dollars. F'that.

Exactly. Plus, when you have a spring keyboard it's easier to know when you're hitting a key and type without looking.
