I recently turned off Slide to Type and enabled the new iOS 16 Haptic feedback for keyboard setting under ‘Sounds and Haptics’. My typing accuracy has improved a lot with these changes.
- elboru 4y agoWow, thanks for this. I’m loving the haptic feedback. I’m not sure if this is just a placebo effect, but typing feels more precise. Is there anything in “Slide to type” that makes typing less precise?
- throwanem 4y agoWhy would enabling keyboard haptics improve typing accuracy? I'm just now trying them myself, not having known about the setting before, and it doesn't seem to have any effect other than causing an unpleasant sensation in my fingers as I type.
- jxramos 4y agoI've always turned it off on account of desiring battery over sensation feedback.
- Andrew_nenakhov 4y agoYou are likely extending a battery life by about a minute per day by saving like this.
- jxramos 4y agoInteresting. How’d you come to that conclusion?

- jxramos 4y agoAha. That would be cool to see an independent reproduction of those experiments. Good stuff.
