    Keyboard Parallel
Click For Summary
Current keyboards are sequential, requiring one key to be pressed before another, which is seen as inefficient. The concept of a Parallel Keyboard proposes allowing multiple keys to be pressed simultaneously, enabling faster typing speeds by eliminating the need for sequential input. While proponents argue this could lead to typing speeds over 200 WPM, critics highlight the challenges of accurately determining intended words from simultaneous key presses, especially with common letters and potential ambiguities. Additionally, the cognitive load of thinking in terms of multiple letters at once may hinder usability. Overall, the practicality of such a keyboard remains debated, with concerns about efficiency and user adaptability.

Not necessarily... She just has a good keyboard..and knows how to use it. o:)

:smile: And the good thing about being blonde is that I never have to worry about thinking faster than I can type. :smile: (Yes, I really AM blonde, so I'm allowed to tell the joke...for anyone else, it's 50 lashes with a wet noodle).

Garvin, the frequency of a wave is a number computed from its amplitude variations. The amplitude of a waveform at each point is sufficient to describe it.

Without doubt the product is not terribly marketable; I was not aware when starting this thread that such similar products do exist. What's crazy is how many people materialized to raise criticism about the functionality of a system which it turns out already works in very similar forms.

Look up the maning of an FFT there big guy.

The rate of words in a song has nothing to do with your stupid keyboard idea. It was me pointing out that you made a claim of how useful your device would be based on the fact that you type 100wpm at all times and you cannot keep up with songs therefore someone could create over 100wpm of useful ideas. This is obviously erroneous on soooooooooooooo many levels. Firstly they song is learned beforehand I don't think many people freestyle in excess of 100wpm and more importantly, even if you know the song beforehand WHILE LISTENING TO IT THERE IS A DELAY BETWEEN YOUR EARS AND YOUR HANDS. Next time you choose to try and disprove a point keep it in context.

Garvin, you're right, I should have used the term "magnitude" rather than "amplitude."

Omagdon, the question of whether people could produce so many useful ideas is relevant to the potential use of the keyboard (now admitted to have no market due to competing, established products). I can type 100 wpm whenever I try to do so, music playing or not, and I know all the words to the songs I am typing so there is no delay. In any case people generally talk 125-150 WPM as stated on the netyak site hitssquad linked to so how fast I type and how fast the song plays are moot points.
