Model M's as substitute for futon mattress?
« on: Thu, 09 January 2014, 21:41:11 »
I've been pondering this. How many would you need? Would the Model M be ideal or something else such as Cherries? Obviously we are well catered for regarding choices.
As a side art project you could connect them all to a pc and then in the morning see what mysterious key presses your body entered as you slept.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Hmm........

you could fit about 4 keyboards behind you..

Further assume each key is heavy and offers 80g max

you're ontop of 80% of the keys at any one time..

104 x 4 x .8 x 80g = 60lbs of force

mmm.. this might be possible if you're very skinny.... and your torso is very flat and evenly distributed...

That doesn't sound like An American to me. Flat torso? How many of the folks in your average Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts have flat torsos?

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.
