It is not true that capacitive input is impossible for people with prosetics.
There where two long conversations about that, here and on the wiki(maybe). I
could try to find them if you want, but I didn't catch it on 5 minutes of
Googling. I think the solution had something to do with attaching metal to the
end of the prosthetic. The results where that it is possible but doesn't work
very well...

Was sticky keys ever added to this project? That's a core component of
accessibility. Also, in the future, if touch screens are added, capacitive
ones will be a poor choice because they don't respond at all to prosthetic
hands or hooks.
