If you’ve been having hard time with your computer’s QWERTY keyboard, then it’d be time to look for an alternative. What about a keyboard without keys? The OrbiTouch Keyless Keyboard will probably be the next-generation of keyboard that comes with no keys. What I can see from the picture is it’s got two soft bumps or domes seem to let you have your hands on it to move around freely for squeezing out the letters and numbers you want.
The concept of this keyboard would be more or less like moving a mouse or a joystick. Perhaps, you’d say it’s a combination of a keyboard and a mouse. The keyboard is supposed to work this way:
Each dome slides into one of 8 zones to type a character. The domes do not twist. Either dome can slide first or move both at the same time. Domes slide toward the center of their respective color or character zones — not directly at the character. Slide the right dome to the zone of the character you want to type; slide the left dome to the color of that character.
Are you lost? If so, I suggest you stick to your existing QWERTY keyboard, unless you have issues with your fingers not your keyboard.
