How would you improve a standard PC keyboard?

Hmmmmmmm, for super touch-type know-all-the-shortcut-keys people probably the best thing would be a very light-weight headset with laser tracking. On rare occasions when you want to use the mouse, the tracking would move the mouse pointer to the point you are looking at. You could wiggle your ears or blnk hard to double-click.
With the electronics so cheap nowadays there may even be something out there. I know combat pilots have had this laser eye-sight tracking stuff for quite awhile.

This kind of stuff already exists for the disabled, but it is really expensive.

There is foot controlled input devices, too, and they seem to be much cheaper:

Or you could do voice activated. I'm just afraid what would happen if I sneeze.

I actually worked at a company that had one of those foot-activated mice. It was... weird. Hard to get used to. But certainly very novel. :D

Last time I sneezed while using Dragon Naturally Speaking, it generated completed code for a new web browser. ;)
