How about putting an appropriate braille pattern on each key? Gives you the touch-uniqueness, the alphabet and characters are already established, and the user might eventually learn braille "accidentally." I've always wanted to learn braille, just so I can read in the dark. |
|
|
The "Windows" key on newer keyboards should have sharp points that draw blood. |
|
|
Wouldn't the blood just feed its dark desires? |
|
|
Nice idea, but of course my Virtual Keyboard could handle it easily (one track mind) |
|
|
sadie and waugs have firmly placed the image of a windows key alter, blood running in rivulets from the heart of its latest sacrificial victim.. |
|
|
Perhaps the satanic sect to oppose the (now vanished) church of the sock? |

I'm with Œbaker. Braille would rock. |
|

Good Idea and good brai- bral- braille (halfbakery needs a spellchecker) annotation. |

Wonder if keys can be designed so all the 26 (at the very least) keys gave some capslock on/off status feedback, not necessarily physical feely touch (a jolt of electricity for example <--- just kidding) that the human mind could learn to interpret. You don't have to look / feel elsewhere (screen status bar or keyboard leds or feely capslock) to interpret the state. |
|
|
Problem is it would cost an arm and a leg and then some to come up with something that would allow all 26 (or more) keys to be capslock on/off feedback enabled, for the value it would offer. |
|
|
Actually, it should cost almost nothing additional, since the keys are injection molded plastic. Just change the mold to have the braille features, and then use the same production steps & materials. |
|
|
This would help people learn to touch-type faster, since they wouldn't have to look down at the keyboard so much, would make us all braille-literate, and would let us more confidently type in the dark. |

My typing's chnged ssssssince I instlled the feely keys. I rely like the S key - it's ssssssmooth nd sssssssoft on my keybord. I never touch the letter next to s, it's ssssssshrp. |
