Have you come across the "Microwriter"? It's a "keyboard" that has 5 keys, one
for each finger of one hand (the right one, I think, but that's OK.)

You make characters by chording the keys, i.e. pressing two or three at once.

I don't know much more about it, I'm afraid. I do know they make a pocket
machine that has both a tiny QWERTY and a microwriter keyboard. I got sent some
bumph for it recently, but filed it in the bin, as usual.

Hugh.
