Haha that would be awesome. And by awesome I mean not so awesome.

That's the greatest thing that I've ever seen. You've got to have some balls to make a controller with six different shift keys on it.

Ars Technica did a five-page review of the Alpha Grip (http://arstechnica.com/reviews/hardware/alphagrip.ars). The reviewer claimed to hit 45wpm and ended up rating it 7/10.
