After extended periods of use with poorly placed contacts my fingers began to ache from the awkward positions I had to contort them into to hit some keys. The other problem is as specified there is no easy way to hit the shift key and a letter key to get a capital key. the workaround is to add an extra contact on the palm so the pinky finger can key a shift or alt key while the other fingers are striking a letter key. The other workaround is to remap the keyboard in linux such that frequently used keys (of the 101 total) are easy to touch, or eliminate the need for the shift key by mapping certain keys to their capital letter equivalents. Other than that I've had no major electrical or functional problems with the glove. -Paul -- R.
