AlphaGrip - Keyboard in a Controller
« on: January 15, 2001, 02:44:46 AM »
A recent report (by me :)) on Xdome has reveald an innovation that\'s set to rock the very foundations of today\'s world of data entry. A handheld controller with an absolute assload of buttons! Developed by a company of the same name, AlphaGrip is already being touted as the keyboard replacement in the home.

The internet has reached the living room and its been designed specifically for these situations, where body postures and furniture aren\'t exactly suited for the old key clunker. Its value is undeniable for couch bound websurfers, but does will it hold the same prestige with soon to be, couch bound, console, net gamers?

Here\'s what the AlphaGrip looks like:


Initial reactions often involve the words "bulky", cluttered" and "impractical. But what do you think?

"Exciting" :)

I think it could be fun to try one, even though at first sight it does look a bit bulky and overwhelming. I guess it\'s just a matter of getting used to it.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPETIME!

I smoke way too much pot to ever be able to use that monstrosity effectively. I\'ll stick with the good ol\'e standard Keyboard & Mouse on the coffeetable thank you.

Bulky, cluttered and impractical is an accurate discription.
