Amorphous keyboard
About this project
Our solution is a customizable acrylic board to suit any type of hand
position and tackle the problem of WASD (keyboard controls) with a joystick.
We laser cut the acrylic board with accurate measurements to easily
fit the switches and joystick. The electronics is a simple keyboard
matrics that can be easily stored in a case.
The challenge
Timothy finds it hard to game, especially when there are many keys.

has to use two hands just to move forward, back, left and right.
