I really like this idea, not as an alternative to the Twiddler, but as an addition. It would be great to be able to be able to use multiple input devices as the environment changes. If I'm sitting down at a table it would be wonderful to be able to just unroll a QWERTY keyboard and lay it flat on the table. Other times, the Twiddler would serve well. I can still type 80+ WPM on a keyboard. I don't think I'll ever be able to approach that on the Twiddler, even with emacs performance enhancements like "completion.el" and "always-complete.el." A multiple input device scheme will certainly be in my design. > The original idea that I had been working on was simple but required the > user to have a flat surface.
