A computer keyboard with another return key (Mac) or enter key (PC) instead of caps lock, and a sliding switch above the function keys to toggle caps lock. Why you ask? My right pinky tends to get somewhat cramped in my enter-intensive data entry job, it would be nice to balance the load between my
left and right pinkies. As for caps-lock, I used to be in the banish it camp, but in the IDX software that I have to use caps-lock is mandatory.

Alternatively, you could replace half the spacebar, since most of us tend to use just one thumb to hit it anyway. |
|
| |
Or you could have many keyboards stacked on top of each other, with foot pedals, and twisty buttons and nobs, church organ style. |
|
| |
You should put the return button on the edge of the keyboard, like on a manual typewriter. That would be much more fun. |

pottedstu: Button!? BUTTON!? The proper carriage return is a LEVER, which is operated by the LEFT hand pushing it to the right a few inches. |

Noooo! I'm too used to a traditional keyboard, another button would just confuse the living Hell out of me. |
|
| |
Which 'traditional' keyboard? Dvorak or Qwerty? Bilingual Canadian or Russian? |
|

pressure sensor in wrist pad thingy could function as return - just set the activation level high enough so you don't get false hits; then you can just slam the palm of either hand down to engage |

Quit your whining, take off your shoes and use your toes -- just like everyone else. |
