I seem to remember seeing an ad for something like that years ago. Keyboards that were fully reconfigurable for games and what not.

Keyboards should not be used for any game ever. Apart from FPSs. And some others. There is that device that I can't remember the name who's job it is to be a keyboard replacement, but I can't remember anything more about it. I shouldn't have bought it up. Sorry.

Do you chop wood over your keyboard or something? Unscrewing everything to clean it is the physical equivalent of formatting your hard drive and reinstalling Windows to reset your resolution.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Trek is, frankly, a bit silly in regards to this. Unless there's something going on that we can't see (or feel, or whatever), I really can't see how they can sit at those keyboards typing without actually looking at them. Your fingers would end up all over the place.

(And yes, I do remember Tuvok's "tactile interface on" command in Year of Hell, which only serves to reinforce the notion that there usually isn't a tactile interface.)

Why do you always have to quote months-old, erh, quotes whenever somebody revives a dead thread? Eh? EH?

Because my point was not heard the first time. Damnit.
