I'm kind of intrigued by this one... What's it called??
That's the DataHand, one of the few novel text-entry devices in the last few decades. It's sadly no longer made but ifyou want a modern one, check out the Svalboard.
The Svalboard is made by one guy in California with FOSS firmware based on QMK/Vial. He took it on because his DataHand, which had enabled him to keep working with a wrist injury, broke and no parts were available.
I got one myself after near disabling wrist RSI. I don't type as fast as I used to (yet) but I am able to work with a lot less pain.
Thanks for that. It's nice to see an assembled option. The lalboard looked a bit intimidating. I've been starting to develop daily wrist pain after working for a few hours and I'm looking for a decent option that lets me keep going without ending up crippled.
DataHand, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DataHand
Thanks! I'm gonna go check that out.
If you want a modern one, check out the Svalboard.
