We have developed a new ten key keyboard using mostly two finger chords and will be showing it at CES in Las Vegas next week. I'd like to invite anyone attending to visit our booth 73409 and give it a test run. We have also started it as a project on kickstarter.com so if anyone is interested in getting one or seeing some videos about it, here is a link. http://kck.st/sWPYfb I would appreciate your feedback!

A bit too early to tell, we have only shared it with a few to test and because it is based on sequential pressing, it can't be as fast as slapping keys on QWERTY. The advantage is it is easier to touch-type in the mobile space and safer behind a steering wheel. You may find this interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UCByuzS5co

The driving one is pretty cool.
But for just a regular person like me I don't see any advantages.

lol typing while driving is horrible dangerous if you look at the monitor from time to time to read what you type...

True, best to have a heads-up display to keep your field of vision on the road. That is how we will be showing it at CES next week.

So what's the WPM you get on the fastest implementation of it (which is probably no the steering wheel version)? We realize chording keybards are not fast, but still having a ballpark WPM number is useful for comparison with other chording keyboards.

I'm happy to test it out and report my progress.

In10did, should you find yourself a bit short of testers...

...Not the steering wheel thing, though. I'm pretty sure that would be illegal here.

Wpm around 33 but do need more testers. It would be with the "it Types" model. I don't have plans to produce the steering wheel version. Too much liability!
