I know plenty of unhappy people with lots of money. I know plenty of happy people with very little money. Are they all outliers ?

I won’t say I like this phenomenon in oss , but isn’t it a bit of what’s supposed to happen? ie if enough people care about certain code paths working , they pony up and make them work?

Yes makes sense - I was thinking bigger but I think the point of these seems to be that if you have one sensitive surface (trackpad or touchpad like) then you can overlay a bunch of targets / keys on it. That may be the easiest way to get started with something that can be re configured with iteration.

I don’t fundamentally disagree with your attitude, but then, number theory ended up being pretty useful after about a couple of thousand years of art for art’s sake.

Isn’t it a success though? :)

Does someone understand the workflow enough here to have thoughts about who could be contributing to this and how?

At least one major bank I’m aware of in Asia does not over web based account mgmt. mobile or native app install only.

Woah the Xbox adaptive controller is pretty interesting as well. Sort of a remapping hub for other devices.

Wow the giant keyboard is making me consider alternatives. Maybe I could make a large mat to put on the desk that I could tap with a fist or open palm, switching strain to the full arm instead of just the wrist.

To your point about speech recognition and alternative keyboards: I’ve tried a bunch of things over the years, including split, curved, chorded etc. It might be time to re-revisit all of that in case things have changed. With every wave of the problem, motivation changes so even if the device wasn’t ideal at a previous time it might be acceptable now.

Thanks! The pads are very much like I was thinking. Maybe I could tilt a unit like this on a desk. At this price point it might get expensive to build up a keyboard , but something to think about.

I don’t know anything about MIDI though I’ve heard the term before. I’ll look it up.

Yeah I think MIDI is your best option. Essentially you have to have a piezo connected to the surface your hitting, than I guess I would investigate linking it to an Arduino that recognizes and processes the hits and transforms it in MIDI data

Thanks - it seems there are some electronic drumset products for sale with about 8 targets on them that could be good candidate starting points.
