Before I had the spiffchorder I used several different approaches to getting my 7 keys seen as an input device.

The 2 which were longest lived were a hardware modification of a commercially available but not wearable chorder and a Linux kernel modification.

These will eventually be documented here.  In the meantime, you can see these at [[http://www.cs.vassar.edu/people/priestdo/wearables/hacks]]

To quote myself from a decade ago:

""By going to an "hand open" keying position as opposed to the twiddler
"hand closed" position I find it is very comfortable and relaxing to
use from the time I get up in the morning untill[sic] I switch over to the
non-hand mounted one that I use at night (same position, nothing over
the hand though so I will not get tangled by cords in my sleep).""
