Saw this alternate entry device announced at CES: https://www.charachorder.com/ SelfieType, using a camera to watch your fingers, looks even more futuristic: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-selfie-type-demo-vi...

Except that people want some kind of textile feedback for what they type—which is why SelfieType likely would only be just a “cool technology”

I’ve always wanted one of these kinds of devices for gaming. Unfortunately they’re never made for left handed people. I understand how that’s the case for such niche accessories, but when I see a brand like Razer not having keypads, it just means ~15% of gamers can’t use the device.

My g13 has recently started playing up. I'm just switching to keyboard. :/

I used to use a Belkin N52 then an N52TE. My current gaming keyboard is a Razer Orbweaver Chroma (https://www.razer.com/gaming-keyboards-keypads/razer-orbweav...) which I’m pretty happy with - the mechanical switches are good, although the extra row of buttons seems a bit superfluous.

Just a heads up, it looks like the link to your article "Customizing the Logitech G13" in the first paragraph is broken

Probably a bit fewer than 15%; I write left handed but comfortably game with my right hand.
