I feel like the only people who crave the physical keyboard on a phone are the ones that still refuse to use a Swype style keyboard on a touch screen.
When they were first released it was pretty good and now it's basically perfect.
I have not had a physical keyboard since my palm pre died and have not felt the need to go back.
Swipe was great like 6 years ago. In the last five at least it's been steadily getting worse, and it's gotten significantly worse since they replaced whatever existing algorithm with their AI bullshit. Now my keyboard tries to put in slurs because the prediction is based on the internet. You delete them from the dictionary and they just pop right back up. It misspells commonly misspelled words now too.
You know that you can change keyboards right? Futo swipe texting works great.

~~Yah Everton I use thistle shot of an exerciser on gridiron~~
Yah everytime I use this shot is an exerciser in frustration
Close enough
Swipe gang rise up
Why use swype keyboards when you can use thumb-key ?
I mean, unless your hand are such that you can type using 10 fingers while holding your phone, using a typewriter machine's keyboard (so that the branches don't mix if you type too fast?) is a total non-sens!
Using a mixture of the suggestions, swipe, and thumb typing on a touch qwerty I can write faster than I could on a keyboard, it's super easy. Even when I was practicing touch typing on a physical qwerty, my brain couldn't manage more than average 40wpm I don't think. Which is slow, if I remember. Much faster using a mixture of input styles depending on the word I am about to input. My mind pretty much instinctively knows which is gonna be the fastest method of the 3 at this point. I don't think limiting one's self to a single input style would make people like me any faster.
That looks interesting but I'm kinda turned off that it's made by an authoritarian propagandist. And yes I know he made Lemmy too, and he's also why so many instances block ml.
If yo prefer a non-free option, made by a profit oriented company, "message ease" offer a similar system...
Also, using a qwerty keyboard doesn't force you to love neither Remington nor Mr Sholes...
Oh i know it's a nonsense position to take and I'm probably gonna check out the keyboard anyway, I just don't like that guy's values.
I haven't checked them, but I think I am banned from at least some .ml things ; I am not sure if I can still see them.
They're in a tizzy trying to convince the fediverse not to vote dem in the midterms. It's transparent as hell.
Honestly it's because I never felt the need to change. Looks interesting though.
