You basically connect 5 or 10 keys, such as Cherry MX, to an Arduino. The software on the computer creates a layer between the keyboard and the OS that lets you easily script what the key inputs do. It features a built in stenotype style dictionary for fast text expansion that works across applications. The chord combinations let you access millions of symbols, Lisp functions, or shell commands mnemonically. The finger patterns form a binary sign language that can be implemented almost anywhere through machine vision, keyboards, gloves with MEMS devices, or possibly even non-invasive neural connections. You can even learn the system without a keyboard.
