So what's your opinion on sticky keys? A godsend? Useful? Hindering? Outright stupid?

Are you referring to the Windows accessibility option, or keyboards with sugary liquid spilled on them?

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

The windows option. But I should try keyboards with actual sticky keys... :confused:

Haven't used it, although I have triggered it accidentally a few times.

I tend to idly tap the same key several times while thinking sometimes, so I would have to say for me it is a minor irritation.  Very minor.

^^ This. Usually I hit shift 5 times in a row to get it to pop up, then go into settings and turn off all the accessibility stuff. Job done.

I don't think I've ever really used StickyKeys before. I guess it would come in handy when typing with one finger though.

This.  Although the first time it happens on a new computer, I go into accessibility settings and disable it.

As a gamer it is ultra annoying if I forget to disable it on fresh install as it always seem to activate at a most inopportune time. I never understood why the **** it's on by default. For those that want to use it they should have to go and enable it on purpose.

That's the thing - those that need it would probably have difficulty enabling it in the first place.

He's probably referring to his company's one-handed keyboard. Not ALPs-based, unfortunately, but there.

I turned off all sticky key.. filter key features... the keyboard seems much more responsive because I'm not waiting so long for key repeat.
