Now THAT is funky. I can't tell - do the usual fingers hit the usual keys in that configuration?

WTF??

How the heck are you supposed to know which keys correspond to which letters?

For those raised on TV game controllers, this seems a natural.

My brain hurts just looking at it.

I took it one step further -- I attached a gyro mouse, so instead of the trackball, all I have to do is move the controller, wii style.

Still can't type very fast yet. The problem is all the symbols I use in programming, they're a bit harder to get to.

So, is this like a thumb thing that might be good to use when my mouse clicking index finger stiffens?

I don't even understand what this is or why we want it.

Anyone know?
