OrbiTouch Keyless Keyboard Review 347
robyn217 writes "When I last looked at strange, new keyboards (here's the previous thread here on slashdot), I thought I'd seen it all... not even close! I just reviewed a new keyless keyboard, called the OrbiTouch, and gave it a run for its money. It's literally made up of two humps--it reminds me of holding onto my knees rather a keyboard. To type or mouse, you need to move the humps around in a synchronized manner. It's twisted--but it's better for you to decide for yourself--here's the article, OrbiTouch Review: A Keyless Keyboard with lots of pictures. Think you'll give it a test drive? Will it survive the year?"

From the article:
Despite--or maybe because of--the OrbitTouch's similarity to the female anatomy, it's very comfortable to use. Your hands rest very naturally on the twin domes.
So, instead of clacking away on a keyboard all day I can basically feel up boobies while I work?
Is there a downside to this?

I don't know about you, but when I'm riding my bike, I'm paying attention to the BIG-ASS FORD BIGGER-THAN-FUCK-ALL EXCURSIONS flying past me at fifty miles per hour. Typing is the least of my concerns when there are inattentive soccer moms fighting with their spoiled honkey kids sitting in the back of their suburban combat vehicles.

Considering that it came out before Christmas of 2000 [google.com] (hint: ~2.4 years ago), I'd say there is a pretty good chance.

Force feedback.
You know, when the keyboard slaps your hands away because "it's tired tonight."
