From: Kirk Kelley  

High-powered design and composition work on a computer seem to
require rapid alternating key and mouse input so that one hand is
always on the mouse and one always on the keys.

I've been happy using a simple five piano-key chordboard for the last
decade, but there does not seem to be a market for it as a
peripheral.

So maybe it is time to throw away both it and my querty and move up
to the 14 key chordboard like the kind developed at IBM Cambridge
Scientific Center.  I hear their chord keyboard is comparable in
speed to a two handed keyboard.

Anyone know where I can beg borrow or buy one?
