Behold! My latest Bad Keyboard, the ShiftKeyBoard!
It’s got nine buttons, and an 8-way gear shifter. You simply shift into different gears to select which sub-keyboard to use. Surprisingly easy to use, in fact.
Here’s the layout I used:
Two more things:
1. the numbers under each gear position image are an implementation detail for the gearshifter I used, which I had on my guide image to help me code it.
2. the funniest thing I discovered is that you have to shift into neutral before reprogramming the keyboard or it wouldn’t work right. I kept leaving it in first gear which caused problems, where it would only recognize 1 and 4th gear.
