You could always bind it to the space bar. If he manages to miss that, I'd say he has more pressing concerns.

I lost.

Better idea: Have him set a up a treadmill under his monitor. If he wants to use his computer at all, he has to walk. He will lose weight very quickly.

This reminds me of a Simpsons episode. "The number you dialed is too fat". lol

Several solutions:

- Tell him to get specially designed keyboards
- Exercise and lose weight (best solution) or
- Get thimbles for each finger designed with a narrow protruding points to aid in pressing keyboard keys. or
- have him remove all his keyboard keys, specifically leaving a few keys that allows for a seamless POE experience.
- if the previous doesn't work, have him paste a 2x2 inch cardboard (for better accuracy) on each key remaining.

Hahahaha.

how does that keyboard even work with all the crumbs falling in there?

He told me he got some program called Dragon something something that allows actions to be done through talking.

Quite genius........but.... there may be complications such as mumbling etc.

For specially designed keyboards I don't have much of a budget, so are there any low budget keyboards?

After some further researching i also found that there were feet pedals. Will those last long under the enormous weight if he were to buy one?

(I'm kinda planning this for his Christmas present)

Can't believe the amount of people taking this bait.
