In addition, on mobile you have on-screen keyboards, so you can never practice touch-typing (which entails being able to type without looking at the keyboard).

- u801e 8y agoYears ago, I purchased a HP touchpad which has an on screen keyboard (big enough to use the traditional home key hand position). I'm a proficient touch typist, but I was never able to successfully touch type on it. Tactile feedback is a must and isn't something that you can get with touch interfaces.
- mastazi 8y agoYes you are right, my definition of "touch typing" was incomplete because it didn't mention the tactile element. There have been some prototypes where the screen has a surface that can produce "bumps" in response to electrical impulse, which could lead to having on-screen keyboards with some sort of tactile feel[1], however this is not available on the consumer market just yet.
