It also has an ambidextrous mode where you can set all the normal keys to one side of the keyboard, which is, again, great for accessibility, but also if you want to have your free hand on a mouse or… something… else…
Yes! I have been looking for a solution to use my joystick in this scenario! TY kind lemming!

I honestly can’t see anyone but an insignificant fraction of the general population ever using this.
There are only a few people who would benefit from taking the time to learn a how to use this contraption and even fewer who would bother.
Sounds interesting but has absolutely no use in my daily life. It reminds me of a stenographer keyboard in a lot of ways, like how certain letters are typed by pressing a combination of two other letters.
For anyone curious, here’s the product page for the CharaCorder One
I have the CharaChorder One, the Lite, and the ‘X’. The Lite is a bit problematic with having to move your hands into awkward configurations to chord. This made me realize that in order to use it, get the CharaChorder One and take the learning plunge. No more moving your hands to other keys as the One switches are 4 directional.
It took about 2 weeks with an hour or so nightly practice, but it was worth it to learn it. Chording has still been another learning process on top of the already mentioned. Overall, a time and cost investment in my health to scale back carpal tunnel and it has helped with the amount that I type. You really have to commit to a niche keyboard, but it saves on your hands and can shortcut typing. I found it a worthwhile move for my purposes, but YMMV.
