I love the weird, awkward social situations in the video at the tapwithus website, featuring people interacting with the tap keyboard secretly while they are talking to other people - magnificently strange.

The police will arrest you for wearing brass knuckles if you are caught using this device.

This seems to be capturing finger movements that would otherwise map to a keyboard. I wonder if there is an even more optimal way to capture finger movements and map them to input, if the idea of mapping to keyboard finger movements is discarded.

Actually, the tap uses finger tap combinations that are mapped to keys. Ex: tap middle-finger and pinky for 'x' (no idea of what the actual key is.

Single finger taps are reserved for vowels, and trickier finger combinations are aliased to double-taps and other tricks.

Hey! The Tap is made with soft-touch TPU and it looks more like rings than brass knuckles. If an officer did ask to see it, they would be more interested than concerned.

I'd be interested to know more about the background and history of your company and its founders, please?

And what's on the roadmap -- any plans for tactile feedback?

Are they available and shipping now? Do you ship to Europe?

Thanks for dropping by!

Did you know there used to be a magazine named Tap? And have you seen the movie "The President's Analyst?" ;) I bet the Woz would love to play around with one!
