Well of course :) but how is it? Are you faster now, is it about the same? What works better what works worse? I’m open to going to a different input method but I’d like to hear from others cause with shifts like these you gotta commit for a bit to get through the learning curve.
I’ve been using it for about 4 days now, and am up to about an average of 35 words per minute.
I can’t really say what works better, besides that typing accuracy is much better since the keys are larger. You have to commit to it for at least a day to get the hang of it, and be able to see how well it works.
I used to use the keyboard this was inspired by, MessageEase, and it’s kind of like learning to touch type, in that there is a steep learning curve, compared to conventional keyboards, where you benefit from conscious practice, but you will end up faster. On MessageEase, I was around 40 WPM, back when I was in practice, and I expect to be back there with Thumb-Key in not too long.
Anyone use this as yhier main way to type?
I obvi am :)

I used it to type this also.
