James BrownI bought this fiddle toy to pad out an aliexpress order, and it’s crying out to be turned into a functioning keyboard but I’m not sure what the gimmick would be.

Michael Cook@ancientjames Pitch:
Once you have pressed a key, you can’t press it again until you have pressed four others. So there are always five keys “down“ even though they’re not sending keydown.
So you either have to type more if you want to type another E, or you press a bar on the side of it sort of like doing a carriage return on an old manual typewriter.
Vacuolic@ancientjames i guess that each key can only be pressed once and then you have to reset it? youd have to choose your order wisely like one giant whole keyboard one-shot anagram
Daniel Carosone@ancientjames this needs to be a pneumatic thing that is self-typing!
Leaded Solder@ancientjames Pressure sensitivity so you can get the bubble stuck in that weird kind of halfway state for AAAAAA

A keyboard specifically for writing AAAAAAA is definitely a keyboard for the current times.

Sam@LeadedSolder @ancientjames Duck the keys down when you walk away from your desk so that colleagues can't server funny emails from your computer. How you unlock it is lest as ab exercise.
bazzargh@ancientjames rubber chicken noises
Keen@ancientjames keys made of ice
phooky@ancientjames a suction valve under each key that can invert it, a keyboard that types back
Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmar@ancientjames Rubber dome keyboard from hell
Mikko Mononen@ancientjames tiny bit of compressed air that pops the key back a little moment later once pressed. Ultimate 2 finger typing experience.
Joey Hagedorn@ancientjames Pneumatic! Attach an absolutely massive bundle of silicone tubes to a remote pressure-switch station for an MRI-compatible keyboard!
