Plate mounted keyboards aren't too expensive, so I wonder how much it would cost to build one of these http://infinitytraditional.com/ProductdetailsV1.aspx?ID=15. Yes, I agree maybe not a logical conclusion.



I don’t want the computer trying to outsmart me.



Yes I'm with you on that. That's ...

@trishume The time it takes to learn the new layout is very important too--at least it is for me. Have you seen any data on how long it takes to learn velotype? Steno is the worst for this:

"Most people in steno school get up to 100 WPM within the first six months or so. Then it takes them between ...

Also chording keyboards require lighter key activation force to be comfortable. You can lower cherry MX Red switch force to about 25g by cutting the 1.5cm springs down to 1cm. This gives keys which don't feel nice for normal typing but feel much more comfortable when typing multiple keys at once ...

What are ...

A stenograph uses chords to type full words, that BAT keyboard you linked uses key combos to type single letters, which in no way shape or form is more efficient than normal typing like they claim.

Which are you trying to replicate?

Somewhere in between. The plan is to make words out of phonemes ...

This is for a split (two keyboards) stenograph style keyboard with a numpad on the right hand. Steno doesn't offer an improvement for numeric input, so I'm adding a numpad for the right hand.

Here is the steno layout. For more information on stenography see http://openstenoproject.org ...

Hello,

Any idea what happened to #0547? It looks like a box full of 60 cherry red mx switches, maybe you've seen them, anyone? 7bit? Maybe I should look into mouse button switches or scissor switches? Anyone do a DIY keyboard with those?

bah forgot the required text in the google wallet email a second time. If you give me a third chance I'll do it right.
