fuck the keyboard - GoFuckYourself.com

Amputate Your Head · 09-20-2002, 01:56 AM

this fucking thing is always in my damn way... when will someone invent a cable that I can jack straight into the side of my head so that I can mentally project the keystrokes into the computer instead of using this prehistoric manual technology we call a keyboard?

quiet · 09-20-2002, 01:57 AM

agreed. i have a voice recognition program, but it pretty much sucks in day to day.

I tried out several of those years ago.... back when they were first starting to put them out on the market.... they sucked ass then, and I can't imagine they're any better now....

that's kinda cool....

my main gripe is it's either the fuckin' keyboard or the mouse that's in my way constantly... one or the other has got to go. I'm tired of moving my hand that extra 4 inches every time I need to switch....

SetTheWorldonFire · 09-20-2002, 02:04 AM

That kinda beats the purpose of all development tools made for designing web pages does'nt it? Matter a fact noooooooooo........

Think of the newbies that will bring in.

-=HUNGRYMAN=- · 09-20-2002, 02:06 AM

A keyboard with a built in trackball in the vacinity of the space bar (maybe directly below it ?? built in the center of the wristrest ??), would be really kewl !!

And WIRELESS of course !!

Amputate Your Head · 09-20-2002, 02:08 AM

now that might work out nicely..... a keyboard with a trackball where the num pad normally is would be cool..... I could live with that...

anyone make such a thing?

Amputate Your Head · 09-20-2002, 02:10 AM

or better yet... how about a Lazyboy recliner with a trackball built into the right side armrest, just in front of the cupholder... a cooler built into the footrest, and a swinging keyboard platform from the left side....

see... now we're innovating here....

ah, but one of the unforseen benefits of the keyboard (combined with the advent of online forums) is that people are actually writing again. i'll be sad when the day comes that software/hardware loses it's need for tactile input. typing is so satisfying!

you still have to move your hands off of the keyboard though ... I think built into that center portion of the wristrest would be better ... your wrists never go there .... below the B and N

I have a friend that has a wireless keyboard with a trackball in the right hand corner so you can control it while gripping the keyboard from the side. I have to ask him what brand it is.

i can dig the screen size problem but man o man has my life changed since i got my crappy used laptop.

i have an extra vertabrae so my back is pretty fucked up. sitting in front of the desk/comp for hours is painful as hell. the notebook has freed me from "the desk" and "the chair". i've also gotten quite good at working my cursor with my touch pad which is great for my carpal tunnel bullshit.

heehee. maybe you just need grandpa glasses. tri-focal time old man!

If nobody supplies such a thing, you could always remove the numbad keys, whack one of them mouses with the huge assed rollerballs into place (with gaffa tape, of course), and hey presto, keyboard el' amp.

Actually this has already been invented. We had a pretty long discussion about it in class the other day. They have these cables hooked into the heads of lab rats. The rats are able to make the cursor move on the screen.

Who's down with that surgery? Not me!

touchpads take a bit of getting used to ... but they are great for reducing carpal tunnel syndrome ... anybody who has suffered it t any degree should consider it ... I am just wondering how accurate a touchpad is compared to my optical mouse that refreshes at 6000 frames a second ??

Amp what is your experience using a touchpad for graphics ??

Am I gonna have to keep the Optimouse nearby still ??

Amputate Your Head · 09-20-2002, 04:09 AM

i dig touchpads.... I think they kick ass.... I'm very comfortable using them, even for graphics.... but I have to say, the optical mouse is superior in precision to any touchpad for graphic work.

I guess I will have to wait until Tuesday and play with it ....
I do have a piggyback PS/2 connector(from an old laptop), so I can probably have the opti-mouse plugged in and ready to go close by ...

Am I the only person on a modular desk with monitors and swivel arms? all you need to do is buy the modular arms, I have some smaller ones, and more industrial arms for heavy monitors etc... i swing my monitors and keyboards wherever I want, they swing far and I can pull my monitor up to my face or push it back to the wall if I need to along with keyboards.
