I think there was an article in BYTE magazine about "the right hander"
or a similar device about ten years ago.  The one-handed keyboard +
mouse had 6-10 buttons on a (red) hemisphere, and you learned to type
binary using finger combinations.  I believe it was horribly slow.  If
you're curious, look it up in a good library, with classic BYTE issues
(1976-1980 ? )
