      I was confused about how you would type with only your thumbs on a PC keyboard. Then I remembered that there are phones too and that I type with my thumbs on them…

        There’s also this kind of thing.

        (I found a surprising number of unfamiliar kinds of input devices when searching for ‘thumb keyboard’ just now — some of which I wouldn’t mind trying like ten years ago.)

            It’s more for sporadic use in games, with TVs and such, when having a full-size keyboard is inconvenient. Presumably it could also be used with a tablet, but more typically it’s a small on-desk keyboard, perhaps foldable.

            I was thinking of buying something like this a bunch of years ago, when I was looking into sorta-ergonomic devices to diversify my time spent inputting stuff.

            Some of these micro-keyboards have a touchpad, and on the ‘gamepad’ keyboard it’s apparently on the back.

      Fair enough, then it’s on me for being too lazy to find what I thought I was referring to.
