Can't jump + crouch + walk at the same time? If you aren't capable of holding W & left Shift while occasionally tapping the space bar, you have some SERIOUS problems with your hand dexterity & shouldn't be "gaming" on a PC at all.
If there are MILLIONS of PC gamers worldwide capable of playing games on a keyboard, i don't think your girlfriend is the exception. This is a gimmick, nothing more, and it has no practical usage outside of gaming (you aren't going to use it while typing or surfing the net).
