Can't find anything on Google, but I saw a docco at least ten years ago of a marine biologist who made one of these for taking notes underwater.
It had four waterproof buttons, and by pressing various combos he could type one-handed underwater while holding scientific instruments or a camera.
I thought at the time it would be awesome for wearable computers.

- beambot 13y agoFun fact: the Twiddler was a mainstay of Thad Starner's wearable. (Thad was the tech lead behind Google Glass.) Thad had pretty impressive WPM on a Twiddler... 80-90 WPM IIRC.

Just gesture to activate or deactivate, and then have gesture chords for common words or letters of the alphabet? It'd have quite the learning curve though.
