@foone Nah, copilot tries to install if you ever leave your computer alone for more than ten seconds. :blobcatgiggle: Microsoft is desperate for growth.

maybe my next Bad Keyboard should be a cushioned plushy with a motion sensor in it. you drop it from different heights to get different letters

@foone 3-axis accelerometer and a selectric ball. Just drop it with the desired letter facedown.

@foone spin to get modifiers like ctrl and shift? Squeeze for escape?

@foone I think a MIDI breath controller might make a good keyboard. 0-127 just from modulating airflow.

@foone Sounds like a hacky sack keyboard. Would be funnier if it wasn’t wireless. And USB-B. “Sorry boss, I’ve got to hacky sack into Slack to give Mack directions on the knack to a good fallback, otherwise the client’s clawback may sidetrack our kickback and drop our Cadillac for some off-the-rack Jack.”

@foone Then you can build another one using a BME280 - throw it in the air - altitude difference gives different letters.

@foone embed a small battery, accelerometer, controller, and transmitter inside a bouncy ball that you can just throw onto the ground at different heights. Or a grid of positions on a wall that correspond to different letters, motion sensors on each axis trip when you throw the ball at the grid and send the input. Lots of good ways out there to make a keyboard where you type by throwing things
