But I wonder if the space of possibilities contains some wacky hidden gems that we are just missing.

But I wonder if the space of possibilities contains some wacky hidden gems These "wacky hidden gems" are not at all that wacky or hidden. Any future "AI" keyboard won't use typical letters or symbols, it would capture strokes that convey thoughts or meaning. We already have this to some degree with mobile keyboard software that turns gestures into commands and swipes into words and predictive sentences.
- aasasd 7y agoConsidering that fingers rotate on joints instead of extending forward, and don't crook to the side while doing that, the Maltron/Kinesis/Dactyl shape and ortholinear layout are pretty intuitive. It's flat boards and the typewriter-inherited staggered layout that don't make sense in the age of plastic.
