LGR Oddware - Big Keys "ABC" Keyboard
Added 2014-04-24 15:28:15 +0000 UTCOverview and demonstration of the unusual Mac and PC keyboard, the original Big Keys keyboard from Greystone Digital. And playing Duke Nukem 3D using the WASD setup with it, cuz it's absurd.

2014-04-30 06:12:18 +0000 UTCI can somewhat understand the alphabetical layout given the target demographic but the mouse connector placement is just weird. Was this intended for kindergarten pcs only?

2014-04-24 20:23:51 +0000 UTCYou forget it is YOU playing a game like normal. So by default it is interesting, oh stubbled one. ;) Is still a great vid and you are still the man. (ps still sending you the laser disc player, just had to test it and am packing it plus the laptop plus my LD collection so taking a little longer to properly pad it all in a few boxes! )

2014-04-24 16:43:08 +0000 UTCIt's just a keyboard with a weird layout so no, no lag. And honestly, just playing it like normal would be like, well, playing a game like normal and not very interesting :)

2014-04-24 16:38:18 +0000 UTCgreat stuff. A little frustrating seeing how hard you made it to test this out. I would have appreciated a last session with a keyboard stand (like a tv tray under it) and the mouse still at a reach.. least then you'd have a little better dual dexterity to play through. Was hard to see if the keyboard was responsive at all to your presses/movements. Was there lag?

2014-04-24 16:20:22 +0000 UTCI can definitely see senior citizens as being their top sales demographic. I would imagine some elderly people see a Qwerty keyboard and are very confused. They also make cell phones with large buttons, I see them at Wal-mart every so often.
