Oh hey. It's the keyboard used in the 2008 action movie Wanted.

    Movie any good? Worth finding?

    The story is a little bit curved and I don't want to spoiler all bullet points, but if you don't search for a far-reaching target or complicated woven meaning, I'm sure you can enjoy it.

    If you like incoherent scream-whining for a solid 20 minutes, followed by an incoherent plot about... weavers?... then go for it

    Is the plot stupid? Yes.

    Is the plot incoherent? Only if you didn't actually pay attention or have brain damage. It is incredibly simple, stupid, and rather cliched.

    Replace the second U with an S and it gains a lot of functionality.

    What's the longest single word your can type with that keyboard? Best I can do is "yucky".

    No caps because no shift.

    1. You win, I think. That definitely seems to be an accepted spelling.
    2. Pretty sure this particular keyboard is gonna be only caps. One of my keyboards even does this with numlock. It is on by defualt, has no numlock key, and if I plug in a second or use software to turn it off, the keyboard turns it back on like a useless machine.

    i have a crappy dell wireless keyboard here that doesn't have a NUMLOCK. in some linux distributions or environments it defaults OFF, and i have to rig the DE or numlockx to enable it at login. i only keep it around because it's a kb+mouse set that shares one dongle.. it's handy to move from pc to pc when i need to.

    Mine was made for a chemical analyzer for medical and drug testing (it has a METH key, among others!), and firmware-wise the customization was sort of a hack. Keeping numlock on was necessary to make it work how they intended.

    With the power of macros, we can maintain the same functionality while reducing the form factor to a single key!

    Wait, are all the macros just pressing the same key different numbers of times?

    No need. It knows what the next letter is at any given time. In fact, we can just type out the whole phrase with one key press!

    Of course, predictive text macro. What could possible go wrong?

    It's typing out "fuck you" every time, so not exactly a demanding prediction...

    How many 'U' keys do you need??

  • source
  • [–] 5 points 1 month ago

    A single "fuck you" button would be an innovative improvement.

    Not sure if science is ready yet to accomplish such a task!

    But you wouldn't be able to write "as per my last email"...

    Missing an exclamation mark.

    'Nobody got fired for buying IBM...' '... hold my beer.'

    No caps lock?

    This makes me wonder how we can take a standard qwerty keyboard, and turn it into a layout with as many expletives as possible?
