[Noisebridge-discuss] Typing gloves or similar?

[Chris Murphy]

There is a laser keyboard for sale on Amazon. It's expensive but cool  
looking. It's been in development for ten years and came on the market  
about four years ago. I forget the name, shouldn't be hard to google  
it. Not sure how it performs. I read shiny nailpolish is a problem. If  
you get one, I'd love to play with it.
