How is the future looking so far?

It sounds like you are already there.

Maybe you should get a morse code key to "transmit" to the computer, 
rather than the mouse buttons.

I'd kind of like a chord keyboard, I suppose I could make one, but the 
mechanics of making a case where the keys are ergonomic is beyond me.

There was that guy who spent so much time building up recumbent bicycles 
for mobile operation (he wanted to write on the road, but it seemed more 
like his real writing was about the process of getting on the road), and 
he had five buttons on each handle bar as chord keys to input to the 
computer.
