I made one many years ago from an old computer mouse, the two buttons were micro-switches.
It worked fine (as an iambic paddle) but I simply didn't care for it in use. The micro-switches
were not nearly as smooth as the "good ole' bencher." For someone without a thumb on their favored
hand such would be great.
