If you’re leery of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) due to your work or play sessions, then getting an alternative keyboard would be your best bet. As long as the alternative doesn’t come in meter sizes or must be operated by hopping around to reach each letter.

Then again, this is a clever hack done in the name of fun instead of convenience, and comes at the heels of such interactive devices as the Wii and its accompanying peripherals the Wii remote and the Wii Fit. Now this device makes typing out a document (at your usual wpm) a heart-pounding and breath-taking experience, for all the wrong reasons. Now instead of RSI, watch out for pulled muscles, twisted ankles, or sore calves – especially if you want to maintain any kind of decent typing speed.

                                             Made a typo? Don't worry, just walk back to the backspace button and try again.

On the plus side, you can now exercise while you work, but do watch out for the time spent in creating a document through this device – just typing the first sentence of a 10-page report might take longer than actually typing it up on an RSI – inducing keyboard and actually going to the gym for a couple of miles on the treadmill. Then again, this is convergence at its best isn’t it?

                                             The circuitry behind the mod.

The hack was created not based on the usual qwerty style, but in an alphabetical manner that promotes singing in your head while you work the immortal nursery “ABC” song. The actual process of the build is also quite interesting, and may serve as a basis for future ideas and projects (a riding lawn-mower based mouse?) All joking aside, a keyboard of this scale would make for nice party equipment (say playing a first-person shooter game - WASD bunny hop reload-shoot combo anyone?) – like a mass dance party with on-the-spot choreography) - or maybe speed typing a paragraph between two groups and two computers – now that’s an idea.

                                             This is a literally hand-made device.

Some type of wireless mouse would be the best partner for this device if you’re using it for typing up something. Imagine trying to press shift for capitalization or ctrl-s to quick save. No “shortcuts” on this motherboard.  Visit here for the  additional details.
