There used to be a single-handed keyboard available for the BBC Micro (remember the BBC Micro, Granddad?) This keyboard had only five keys, and the trick was it used 'chord' presses (or rather, chord releases, as it registered the moment when 1-5 keys were *released*, rather than the moment they were pressed).
Anyway, I've forgotten what it's called, and a lengthy web search has failed to uncover it. I hunted for various 'single-handed keyboard' type searches, and they only uncovered Maltron, who don't do that five-button keyboard. Does anyone else remember what it was called, or whether it's still available?
Thanks
Andrew Denny
