It looks like both. You can move keys in multiple directions, but you also get chorded input:
“ Over 17 Billion (17.1529*10^12) possible chord combinations per profile."
- falcolas 7y agoYou can do the same with a standard keyboard and drivers - such as plover, autohotkey, etc. 36! is a pretty large number as well. ;) This isn't an attempt to denigrate the product, it does look nice. One of my favorite chorded input methods was the old steam controller text input that combined 8 positions on the left stick with the right 4 face buttons of a standard controller. But it's design is closer to a standard keyboard than chorded keyboard.
- melling 7y agoYes, but I don’t want to carry a standard keyboard with me. That’s why I mentioned usage with mobile devices. I’d like to sit on a park bench on a nice spring day and write my blog with my phone. Starbucks, library, picnic table, deli, ....
- falcolas 7y agoI would personally think that the use of joysticks would not work exceptionally well with a "park bench" scenario, but that's me. I'd probably look into the Twiddler, or one of the single-key-per-finger options myself. Personal preference and all that. :)
