That's more like it. Six simultaneous keystrokes is about as good as it gets right now.

The keyboard Sandwich linked to doesn't look like anything special at all. :p

Post by: Colonol Dekker on September 11, 2008, 06:36:18 pm: I tend to touch-type/fly in mission. If i spent every waking moment reading the keys like a ~~woman driver~~ cadet. i'd end up rear-ending the Galatea <denial> she's not dead....she aint dead</denial> then Admiral Wolf would have me shot for scratching the paintwork.

Is that the stock font by the way or do they customise it?

Six simultaneous keystrokes

The only thing you should ever value in a keyboard.

The rest is inconsequential babble.
