IDEA: Fat finger/miss-press protection

[gilded eagle]

✨ Feature: A new “performance mode” (similar to Snappy Tappy or Rappy Snappy), called Fatty Zappy. (yeah the name sucks) ✨

How it Works:

1.    When you press a key, the actuation point of surrounding keys increases. This makes it harder to press nearby keys by accident.
2.    You can choose if this applies to the whole keyboard or just specific keys.
3.    You can adjust how much the actuation point changes for surrounding keys.

Example:

•    Suppose you set your whole keyboard to a 0.5mm actuation point, and set Fatty Zappy actuation adjustment to 2.0mm.
•    When you press the S key, the keys around it (W, A, D, Z, and X) automatically change to a 2.0mm actuation point while S is held.

This mode would help prevent accidental key presses when typing or gaming!

ngl i think i cooked with this idea

I think you cooked too

I did make a post about this but i think they dont care about this future at all even though it could help some people

[dapper sage]

Dude chill. It has been two weeks. There is so much left to do for wooting at the moment, that they will probably not stop working on other important stuff for this comfort feature

You're definetly right i meant to say its not game changing future like snap tap they wouldn't hurry about it

@noble ridge Do you think I should email them or get in contact with them in some way? I feel like this could be really helpful to a-lot of people and its a software thing not hardware so it shouldnt be too hard to release. Maybe I need some work on the name tho 😆

[little wraith]

I love the name 😄

Try your luck maybe they answer on the issue and give us the Fatty Zappy 😂

They just need to allow more binds to Rappy Snappy, it’d be a primitive version of on board fat-finger prevention. You’d group all keys that a respective finger presses and that’s it. The reason why I say primitive is because the proper thing is very difficult. You didn’t take into account that you don’t use a single finger for the whole keyboard. You press most keys that are next to each other with a different finger so lowering the actuation point for surrounding keys would be rather annoying and feel inconsistent. 😉
