I built an arcade machine from scratch (MAME for arcade games) and had a coin button to begin with. Mostly meant that it was too easy to just spam the coin and start button (sits beside one another) and just “pay” our way through games.

I built coin slots with tokens falling through a light sensor and now it is a little more work to “pay”, and also a slight shame introduced to the gameplay when your pile of tokens are significantly smaller than your friend’s :)

We’re trying a little harder now to play better.

MessagEase is a nice keyboard built for mobile devices, using 9 keys for typing with swiping to access some of the letters.

Numbers and special characters can also be accessed without having to switch mode.
