This is probably the first post ever written to the Dope from an AiphaGrip.
And yes this is taking a moment to type, but not awful. As yet my big problem was that since my keyboard is mapped to Japanese, finding the keys for inserting the link above was a bit of a pain.
Gah. AlphaGrip rather.
oh yeah

And I thought learning Dvorak was bad. How would you find using that thing if it were mapped for English? Part of the reason I could never get into PC gaming is the number and layout of all the buttons that have to be pressed.
Gaming is why I got it. This way I don’t have to contort my fingers for odd combos.
Japanese mapping only affects the symbol keys.
So
…
So I think it could be improved, but really not bad.
I’ve actually got about all the key positions memorized now already. I would say it’s much easier to learn than QWERTY.
Does it come with the woman in the picture? She could play with my original equipment alphagrip any time.
And they say sex doesn’t sell. 
Yawn.
This is much cooler.

No, the think you are pointing to is a rehash of an old idea. With no force feedback, typing is actually more difficult. It would be a lot cheaper to simply have touch keyboards rather than making all those bouncy mechanical keys. Drawing a keyboard on a hard smooth surface is the worst version of this scenario, even though lasers are really cool. Plus it still requires you to sit at a desk of some kind.
This, on the other hand (no pun intended), is a revolutionary idea. Sitting back from the monitor or lying down to enter information allows for drastically changing positions while you work. What would be the ultimate is if this thing could project an image on any smooth surface, or suspended in mid air in front of you, and have the computer parts inside it. That would pretty much be the ultimate computer / human interface device.
I ordered one. Thanks for the link!
oops, the “thing” you are pointing out, that is, the laser keyboard. Not “think”. Apologies.
I agree what mrrealtime said about the laser projected keyboard. I’ve used some laptops and portable keyboard with very shallow key travel, and it was extremely uncomfortable. I think zero key travel would be sheer torture. And you can’t touch type without a sculpted keyboard surface - how do you find the keys??
But I wouldn’t call the AlphaGrip “revolutionary” - this idea has been around for a long time too. The Twiddler has been around for over 10 years, I believe.
Well Seven was writing with his… :o
Though he didn`t include a picture!
That can be arranged.
Well any interested ladies should feel free to send me some money and I’ll be sure to inform Seven of your

of your interest.
