I have this idea for a chorded VR keyboard that's modeled after a drum kit or xylophone.

I predict that once you learn the chords enough with muscle memory, you'll be able to take off the headset and just type with the hand wands.

Have you heard of Twiddler? It's a one-handed chorded keyboard which people have managed to get up ~60wpm (IIRC) typing speeds.[1] It might be potentially useful when computing in VR.

There's also someone I met recently who is working on a VR keyboard (though it's not chorded).[2] Seems like an elegant design.

Earlier, I also made an apron keyboard specifically for VR usage.[3] It's cool but arguably more invasive than these other designs.
