It's a cool experiment, but:

Over time, the negative feedback from these misfires has trained me to type more slowly and thoughtfully, burdening my mind with uncertainty that impedes my natural typing rhythm and unconscious flow of thoughts onto the computer screen.

I get using the modifiers as a potential accessibility solution. But if you're otherwise able to type on the keyboard just fine, this is easily counterproductive.
