Have you ever heard about the MessagEase keyboard? It's a pretty radical departure from the usual touch qwerty. Once you get the muscle memory down, you can even disable the letters completely. Right now I'm typing on a featureless black 3x3 grid (save for a purple dot in the center). It's a great conversation starter too, cause folks see me typing and are universally like "wtf how are you typing".

I never thought of it, but now that you mention it, yeah my eyes are on the text, not on the typing.

I switched to messagease in the first place because I make far less mistakes and it's faster to fix a one-letter goof than redo a whole word with swype (sometimes several times, also the gestures fail on unusual or jargon words).

I haven't, though I do recall Graffiti from PalmOS with some fondness.

The concept here does look as if it fits touchscreens better, appreciate your mentioning it.


This sort of looks like the Japanese Kana keyboard on iOS
