Title: Magic Wand keyboard
Post by: Parak on Sun, 13 March 2011, 03:25:03

A rather interesting keyboard aimed at people with disabilities. Another oddity from the is-that-really-just-a-pcb  (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320670458459)dept.

1KRO? Can see point for this stuff for someone like Hawkins... So basicly it's very cheaply made, and uses closed circuit to discover the key press...

Is this some sort of disability discrimination? Stephen Hawking has 3 children. It's the magic wand! Someone should buy the magic wand...

See the indicator leds next to shift ctrl and alt? It must handle those key sequences.
