Keyboard Character Distribution: In looking for a comfortable way to distribute the buttons in the glove, I set the quantity of 9 buttons per finger in the palm side (excluding the thumb) and 1 per nail in the fore palm side. The thumb will be the actioning finger. For comfort, I set the quantity of resulting wires as a common factor for the key order distribution decision.

I tested distributing from A to Z in the first three fingers and the numbers in the last one, then I tried with the COMAC and DVORAK distributions but the one that uses the less wires is QWERTY, for obvious reasons, it was like reducing the keyboard’s foil matrix to the size of the palm.
