Typing this *without* a keyboard - updated

[VBboy]

Arghhhh!

My kyeboard broke down last night, so now I am using the Accessibility featues of XP to type this with my MOUSE! Kids, don't break your keyboard, it's not worth it

I hope CommieUSA has something on sale...

** Update: found this old thing in the closet. Will be using it for now although it has some strange substance on it... Better wash it, I guess

I did that once when I was too lazy to reach for my keyboard.

I'd rather reach than click around... This is painful..

I see what you are trying to do there. You're right, I should've posted this in OffTopic

how do you type without your keyboard? Where is this so called onscreen keyboard found in XP? Can't you use voice commands to type?

I have a friend that has been going keyboard-less for 5 months now. He's too lazy to go out and buy a USB keyboard (his PS2 port stopped working). He's a master in mouse-typing now.

know what would be even worse? if you didnt have the onscreen keyboard, so you had to copy-and-paste words and letters for everything you did. I think that would be t3h s00pr sux0r.

This is the 2nd funniest keyboard thread I've seen.

one time i thought i broke my S button on my natural keyboard and was ready to type out the RMA for newegg for my name has a S in it and couldn't type. LoL. So, i found a second keyboard and that S was broken. ARGHH .. finally figured out that i gave HOTKEY functions the wrong way to Foobar. Laying around are 4 keyboards and 4 backup mice, just in case.

Man, and I thought it was bad when I spilled water on my kb and the a key died. Had to remember to shift-insert every time I needed an a. Then for days after found I was still trying to do it.

Lesson learned. I'll never drink water again.

Hehe... reminds me of the dangers of drinking and watching a movie on your pc with a wireless keyboard. I've killed one logitech cordless freedom mouse by knocking the mouse to the cement floor and one logitech cordless freedom keyboard by spilling a rum and coke into it. Yeah, I had to use the little accessibility option on-screen keyboard for a few days, that sucked big time.

Is he also a master of entirely mouse driven games, too?

 

[XBoxLPU]

I know a friend who has to use his mouse to type..

he is paralyzed from the neck down

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Agh, that would suck. Luckily here, we have like 4 computers and one tablet PC is co ming on its way making 5 in the house so naturally I can take a keyboard from the server and not affect anyone. That reminds me... I wonder how long the server's uptime is, I try to brake my own records but the problem is that XP Home has so many frickin updates, I wish I could put XP Pro on there, but that'd cost me and I had one copy of XP Home lying around...

I once broke my keyboard and mouse when I was being "cheated" by the computer in a game of Hitman. I spent a week using a voice recognition program as my soul input device. Needless to say, most of my typing looked like I was retarded, with every other word being miss-heard.
