    It took me a while to master it. At first I was typing really slowly because I had to learn where each letter was. Now that I’ve developed muscle-memory, I type faster than with a qwerty or swiping and single-handed.

      Though I have been getting used to the new placement for each letter with Thumbkey, the fact that it involves a bunch of little swipe gestures is always going to take more time/effort than just tapping away at a traditional onscreen keyboard regardless of muscle memory. I can’t imagine this ever being a superior experience.

        In the end, you move your fingers in a smaller space so, when typing fast enough, it gets better than qwerty just because your fingers move less. If you have big thumbs it’s better too because keys are bigger. I make less typos in this keyboard than in qwerty on touchscreen and I can type with a single hand fast enough, something I can’t do with qwerty. But to each their own.
