I'm talking small as in, number of keys. Ideally just one or two keys and a USB connection so that you can interact with a computer.
Think like a clicker.
- nathancahill 9y agoMaybe some accessibility hardware? Or for one press, repurpose a U2F key? I think Yubico has cheap ones branded with sites like Github.
- isaacremuant 9y agoThanks for the suggestion. I'd probably need a USB extension to make it usable and it's probably more costly than other solutions but it's an interesting idea nonetheless.
- topher200 9y agoI have a USB foot petal I keep under my desk: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MU0TBU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MU0TBU/ref=oh_aui_se... I mostly use it as a quick play/pause video button.
- isaacremuant 9y agoThis is a great idea! Thanks. I'll purchase one and try it out.
- robinhartley94 9y agoThere are a couple of them kicking around the Mechanical Keyboard community. This sort of thing: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRSutzWPW0vYd2-VYMsDQZF8S0F5-gLjtdz7ei60vtwjfEyKouIRQ https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRSutzW... However, you will be able to make a keypad consisting of anywhere between 1 and 16 keys using the TASK software. In fact, you will be able to make a highly functional single key for about £7 using the designs I will be releasing in the shortcut keypad crowdfunding campaign!
- isaacremuant 9y agoThanks. This one: https://techkeys.us/collections/keyboards/products/onekeyboard https://techkeys.us/collections/keyboards/products/onekeyboa... would be perfect but it seems to be sold out. I'll contact them to get more info. There's other great options in the website nonetheless.
