It's like upvoting is not enough, here. I've witnessed that some users love their Macbooks' Touchbars, at the same time I'm surprised so few users recourse to these extremely low tech tricks. Just like the camera cover thing that's also trending on HN best: pen and paper and other thing just (almost) anyone can use can still benefit proper use of rocket tech :)

edit: Plus thanks for the link! I've not read the article but the pics are great up to the end! So much inventivity on how to upgrade bona fide keyboards with relatively low tech all through computer history!

I should also take advantage of the occasion to mention that I find it a pity that we don't use keyboard keys as 101 complementary buttons for the mouse/trackpad :D
