@foone That would go great with my idea for a video game rating site based on $/GB.

this idea mainly came about because I was wondering how out-of-range (in terms of price per key) a theoretical 8-10$/key keyboard would be.

@foone I was briefly concerned, but it turns out older group buy boards from the bad old days are just about in that range. The Cannonkeys satisfaction75's first run was 7.76usd/key before shipping, switches, and keycaps! :pearbutterlaugh:

@foone What if I just have one actual key and keep moving it around. Can I have a whole mechanical keyboard for 11 cents then? 😁

@foone I have this thing.It's called "Weibo wb-539". They claim is a semi-mechanic keyboard.I would love to have a better keyboard, to use in a modern PC (USB).The thing is, full mechanical keyboards cost an eye and a kidney, and they usually have English layout. (I need a key for my ñ).Am I asking for something impossible here? * Mechanical * Ñ* Cheaper than a laptop* Better than the Weibo

@foone Optimus Maximus keyboard ~$14 per key (each key includes a 48x48 display)(actual switches were Cherry ML, pretty much garbage in the mechanical keyboard community)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimus_Maximus_keyboard

@phooky @foone I have two separate, competing thoughts:An escape room where you have to find not only a password, but also individual one-key keyboards hidden in drawers and under and behind things, and you have to co-ordinate as a team to type it out quickly.Ctrl and Alt keys on a belt clip that just pair to whatever computer you sit in front of.

@timixretroplays @phooky ooh, that makes me think of the idea of a wearable computer that tracks you, so it works for whichever computer you're closest to.

@foone @phooky Foone's Magic KVM. If it can also give focus to whichever app is showing the biggest on any given screen I'm looking at, so I can stop typing "Thanks for getting in touch" into YouTube and making videos play backwards at 25% speed in French with Korean subtitles, that's be ideal

@foone @timixretroplays @phooky Every time I look at a window and type, and my input doesn't appear there, I'm furious.Technology is failing us, let's start over.
