Re: Tipy – One Hand Keyboard
#2Someone lost their arm and in rehab was taught how to use a one-handed keyboard, made by this company. I wonder what kind of speeds can be reached.

#3Looks like the combined up/down arrow key is here to stay :/ though this is at least one product where I can actually see the logic, even if I don't like it.

#4It's a rather unusual layout. Matias makes an even more expensive one handed keyboard that's essentially half a keyboard and then holding space lets you type the other half. I'm not sure why it's still so damn expensive.

#5This is a very cool tool - another case of disability features benefitting everyone. I would probably consider it seriously if it was available 5 years ago; I wish more keyboards also had mice sticks. These days I start feeling hand strain quickly on flat keyboards, even with a lot of stretching, and need to run home to my Kenisis Advantage.
As an aside, doesn’t sound like Bluetooth work well with Mac:
> TiPY is not automatically connected to my Apple MAC or MAC Books after I switch it off and on again?
> With a connected USB C cable, TiPY is always recognized.
> Third-party keyboards only connected to Bluetooth are never recognized by Apple after being switched off and must be reconnected.

#6Nice demonstration of the features [1]

#7I tried one-handed layouts at one point out of curiosity and I found my one-handed typing speed on a normal QWERTY keyboard to be better.

Randall Munroe has a write-up on a mirrored layout where Caps Lock is the modifier key for the right half: https://blog.xkcd.com/2007/08/14/mirrorboard-a-one-handed-ke...

#9What an interesting concept. If this proves itself and takes off, I wonder if there could be a version of this with mechanical keys.
There's a video here showing someone typing using this keyboard. It feels a bit slow?

What do you see as the benefit for a two-handed person using a computer in a normal desk job? Honest question, it's just not clear to me.
