This needs moving one hand back and forth though. Maybe pedals? When I think about it, perhaps humans need more outputs :)

I actually have this idea where there’s a pedal that shifts your keyboard from qwerty to Dvorak, and some savant can hyper-optimize input by shifting with human look-ahead.

I would love to see that because there has to be at least one person in the world who could pull that off.

A few years ago I had some pretty bad issues with my hands, mostly caused by using my thumb to reach for the Alt key. My employer bought me some foot pedals that I ended up binding to alt and capslock (since I used my capslock key for ctrl + esc). It actually works pretty great :).

There are plenty of muscles that are underutilised in the computer peripheral world. Feet, legs, toes, tongue, anus. Hardware designers are too orthodox and we're all worse off because of it.

The teen in me could not stop thinking what kind of commands would be fitting anus usage? Process kill? rm -rf? The backspace key? Endless!
