11 * Driver to use Handykey's Twiddler (the first edition, i.e. the one with
12 * the RS232 interface) as a joystick under Linux
14 * The Twiddler is a one-handed chording keyboard featuring twelve buttons on
15 * the front, six buttons on the top, and a built-in tilt sensor. The buttons
16 * on the front, which are grouped as four rows of three buttons, are pressed
17 * by the four fingers (this implies only one button per row can be held down
18 * at the same time) and the buttons on the top are for the thumb. The tilt
19 * sensor delivers X and Y axis data depending on how the Twiddler is held.
20 * Additional information can be found at http://www.handykey.com.
22 * This driver does not use the Twiddler for its intended purpose, i.e. as
23 * a chording keyboard, but as a joystick: pressing and releasing a button
24 * immediately sends a corresponding button event, and tilting it generates
25 * corresponding ABS_X and ABS_Y events. This turns the Twiddler into a game
26 * controller with amazing 18 buttons :-)
28 * Note: The Twiddler2 (the successor of the Twiddler that connects directly
29 * to the PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports) is NOT supported by this driver!
