A full gearbox would be nice:

* reverse --> undo

* first gear --> replace mode

* second gear --> visual mode

* third gear --> command mode

* fourth gear --> insert mode

* fifth gear --> customizable mode



This needs one of those galactic brain memes.


Everyone else is missing the point. Obviously you get an automatic transmission, otherwise you'd have to keep talking your hand off the keyboard.


It'd occupy your hands which kinda would defeat the purpose, unless you have a gearbox that's easy to control with your foot?


Can we then write off the motorcycle sim racing rig as office equipment?


This should not be that hard to wire up since USB steering wheels with separate pedals and shifters already exist.


and you would be busy switching gear I guess...


You can make that look cool though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtsENyPZOHw
