Chording keyboards?
« on: Sun, 22 July 2012, 21:47:26 »
What's available out there for chording keyboards? Is it better to build one with quality switches? Things like the Frogpad don't look all that great to me, and I don't have a necessity to wear one (it can sit at a desk that I'm sitting at.)

Currently, I'm considering getting something like the Belkin n50 /n52 / Razor Nostromo gamepad and modding it into a chording keyboard. I'm a bit of a programmer / hardware maker type and so I'd probably use a Teensy USB board (I've got a ton of Arduino experience.) Thoughts?

I have used a Nostromo for The Witcher and it was very comfortable and customizable. I have basically no idea outside of a quick Google search what chording is. Overall the Razer software let's you create macros, sorry for probably not helping you at all.

Chording keyboard would be interesting. Chording is just using a combination keys for letters. You could do the whole alphabet with just 5 keys I think. I think it would get pretty messy for special characters and function keys though.
