Doesn't look like any effort has been made to "cushion" the strokes.

Old electrics (circa 1960s) had fantastic control over key pressure and you could type for hours without feeling like you'd been drumming your fingers into a steel plate.

I have a design that uses a laser array to track finger twitches so that no keyboard at all is needed.

You want qwerty you get qwerty but you can also get your favorite game controller configuration ~ just run the trace and track program.

It should be just as easy to do a one-handed virtual keyboard operation with this design.

All I need is several hundred thousands of dollars for R&D.

For the amount of money that thing costs, I would think one might be able to manage some sort of force-feedback system. Probably using one actuator per column, plus one each for modifier keys. Using an actuator per key would be a bit too far overkill.
