Do you think you could come up with a mapping of character combinations to finger positions, i.e., a gesture-based mapping (either static gestures or ones that involve moving the fingers)? You should check out the conversation I'm having with siliconshaman below; it strikes me that finger positions (ie, amount of curl) could be learned fairly easily and intuitively, it would be quite fast, and it would certainly require fewer discrete components.
