I wonder if haptics will ever be good enough that we'll have a purely touchscreen keyboard that doesn't suck.

  > a purely touchscreen keyboard that doesn't suck Many people would consider an iPhone keyboard to be this…

    You can pry my model m from my cold dead fingers. Haptics is no substitute for actual physical feedback.

      Have you tried pressing the home button on iPhone 7 or 8, or clicking a trackpad on a recent MacBook Pro?

        Yes. Still, you can pry my mechanical keyboard from my cold, dead hands. The home button on the new iphones feels _weird_, almost as if there's this strange, unnatural delay to the click actually occurring. For something that purports to be "just like real life" it does a poor job. The click on the mbp trackpads is not too bad though.

          Huh I actually thinks home button is pretty much not recognizable that its not a hardware one. My wife couldn’t even believe me.

    for serious typing, replacing a physical keyboard? no way. You really need good haptic feedback for touch typing.
