The military's enjoyed lit-LCD-in-a-pushbutton for years. I saw a panel of them when interviewing at L3 communications and I wanted SO MUCH to program and play with them!
I'm really disappointed with the lack of progress with alternate input devices. 2 years ago I returned to college for my master's degree, starting with a course in Ubiquitious/pervasice computing. Chording keyboards were invented in the 60s are are STILL rare, despite "The Twiddler" and others intended for wearable computing.
I forgot the name of the device, but Bell Labs made a keyboard-like device that strapped to your wrist (or arm?) that sensed your fingertaps as transmitted thru your bone!
