Touch typing (assuming your meaning typing without looking at the keyboard) is not impossible. Im doing it right now… muscle memory is a big part of it. Dont forget autocorrect and grammar and spelling suggestions do help as well.
Regardless. Who needs touch typing on a phone? You are typing slowly enough to follow exactly what you type without needing to check the text box above to see what you typed.
Let’s not pretend that touch typing on a keyboard for thumbs is the same as touch typing on a full-size keyboard. It’s waaaay closer to touchscreen typing, especially on my folding phone inner screen.
They may not have tactile feedback, but they do respond with a tiny vibration to show you did hit the key, which is more than enough to alert you if you missed one.
Look, i’m sorry you suck at typing on a touchscreen keyboard, but that doesn’t make you right automatically.
And are you just going to forget that you mentioned i have never used a slide out phone keyboard as a point against my argument. but actually i have and now you are just saying you would have liked the samsung one i showed you? Not conceeding anything there? No?
I did say touch typing on a thumb keyboard is slower. I also said it’s far faster than what I can do on a (normal non-folding no-physical-keyboard) phone.
If you can touch type on your foldable phone’s touchscreen keyboard, where you can’t feel the boundaries between the keys, then I’m impressed. I didn’t think that was possible.
It’s just muscle memory. It’s easier with physical keys, but I’ve used a phone of this shape for over 3 years now, and im using it all the time, so touch typing is just what happens with time.
Maybe playing a musical instrument helps as a lot of that is muscle memory spacial awareness.
Tbh i dont think we should continue this discussion, i would say we just have different needs in our devices. You won’t see it my way as my way doesn’t meet your needs, and the same goes for me and your needs.
Having said that, i also dont think it’s helpful for anyone to decide we know something is bad without personal experience or knowledge of the personal experience of those that have it.
I’m happy to conceed. i came into this ready to argue, but i think it’s better not to.
