You could make it whatever shape you want. Then program it to emit whatever usb key codes you want (there are existing libraries to do this quite easily).
This one happens to emit standard qwerty key codes, but there are many more that do other things. For example, there are standard key codes to launch a browser or the calculator (and some keyboards have buttons to do that too). You could also make it emulate any kind of standard usb HID (human interfact device). This one is a keyboard, but you could make something that identifies itself as a mouse, game controller, etc.
- jon-wood 8y agoMy Ergodox is configured so that hitting a particular key switches hjkl to mouse control, with clicks on the other hand. I can’t say I use it often, but it’s nice for times when you just want to click a single thing and then get back to typing.
- bonestamp2 8y agoThat is great. I remember having a microsoft keyboard back in the day that had a mouse click button and it was surprisingly useful.
