Chording keyboards are quite nice to use, and can be easily mounted anywhere you can rest your hand. I used to use this.

I seem to remember a great Dilbert cartoon which had these new virtual keyboards with fingertip input devices!

Chording requires fingers. Now I know that some people have split the end of their tongue into two prehensile (and probably very, very pleasurable) digits but I doubt that they will ever be a mass market.

I presume couples could therefore have interactive tags built in for sending secret messages via each other's "fillings" in mid-smooch!

Now that's a REALLY disturbing thought ...!

I can't see a tongue keyboard being a good idea - but a tongue mouse might work.

Hmm... and then you try to talk. Or someone programs the tongue mouse for "Mouse gestures"...

This wouldn't work for me - I have a tongue tie attaching my tongue to my gums.
