I've always wanted a force-sensitive keyboard; the harder you hit a key, the more urgently it handles it. Auto-bolded text? Priority of a CLI command proportional to how hard you hit return?


Microsoft did experiment with that some time ago, but the /// was simpler - it was two switches, one actuated at one pressure and the other requiring more force to actuate.

I think this kind of switch is still made.


It's nifty for music production too, when using "musical typing"
