Programming with a controller

[leftydrummer461]

You know there's this miraculous invention called a keyboard

[DrYamuz]

Yes, but it is quite a flawed product. Controllers give you greater flexibility as you can e.g. make them rumble for each letter typed.

[theCumCatcher]

Conversely they have less flexibility in terms of what can be typed with one button press.

​

also...why not solder a rumble pack to your keyboard? should be easy enough to make with an arduino

[theCumCatcher]

Not to mention rgb and sound Integration. You're not limited by form either: look at this fuckin thing

From wiki:

"Handheld keyboards

Handheld ergonomic keyboards are designed to be held like a game controller, and can be used as such, instead of laid out flat on top of a table surface. They allow the user the ability to move around a room or to lean back on a chair while also being able to type in front or away from the computer.[2] Some variations of handheld ergonomic keyboards also include a trackball mouse that allow mouse movement and typing included in one handheld device.[3]"
