Same here! That on-screen keyboard plagued me for years…

With all the talk of Nintendo remotely bricking Switch 2s, maybe I should unplug my GameCube’s broadband adapter… just to be safe.

Wow, thanks for watching! Yes, the next big project will be Labo-related, though I might post another smaller project in the interim. Labo is such a fun concept. I guess I get why it wasn’t a huge success, but I’m glad Nintendo gave it a shot anyway.

Thanks for watching! It was a lot of fun putting it all together.

It’s actually pretty comfortable though! Almost like playing Switch with split joycons.

Thanks so much for watching! In the beginning, I really thought it would just be the typing automation, but as time went on I had more and more intrusive thoughts ideas for features to add.

I happen to be a big fan of that 80s music video :-) I think this was the third time it’s made an appearance on my YouTube channel.

Yeahhh, it’s a membrane keyboard. Though I have seen others gut the internals and replace them with mechanical switches. I’ll see if I can find some keyboard communites to share to - thanks for the idea!

Thanks for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it.

Yep, it uses an input buffer. I ran some tests it seems to max out around 45wpm. If you type faster than that, the characters will still be added to the buffer and get processed, but you’ll eventually have to sit and wait for the movements to play out (at about 45wpm). For reference, my best rate unassisted (using a standard GameCube controller) was about 20wpm.

$10 at a local thrift store! I used to see them everywhere, but this was the first I’ve seen in years…

Thank you! I’ve yet to sign up for mastodon (pretty new to Lemmy, too), but feel free to share it there yourself if you can think of any nerds who might appreciate it!

Thanks for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it.
