Similar thoughts.
I've built myself a couple chorders, mostly using the same 7-key arrangement as the Infogrip BAT and Spiffchorder default. I'm deeply qwerty habituated and finding low enough actuation force switches to be comfortable depressing several has been a challenge^, so I struggle with them a bit, but they're _enticing_.
I've been trying to come up with a good way to build one that I can reasonably comfortably and intrusively use against my leg (fabric with capacitve pads?) or as a keyglove or something - I like to pace around while I compose text or work out code, and want to try entry while I pace. I'd look like a madman, but that's acceptable.
I'm yet to see an HMD that I'd be willing to do extended text manipulation on. I occasionally consider the Microwriter model where you only have a line or so of display on your chorder, but I'm not sold enough on it to go through the hassle of building one of those little mini-OLED driven monocles.
^ BATs used Cherry MX Blacks with unobtainable custom springs. Sub-miniature microswitches throw click is super obnoxious. Etc.
