I can type just as fast (if not faster) on my phone as on desktop. I write almost all my HN comments from my phone, primarily because it's my leisure device and I try to use my desktop only for work (or at least "work") activities. My phone has a high DPI screen and a responsive touch interface that makes it easy to browse content and write comments. The main downside is that it's more immersive and usually can't display as much content on the screen as a desktop monitor, but for this I mostly blame responsive design and its tendency to favor single-column text rendering; reading sites in desktop mode on a high DPI phone screen actually isn't too bad, aside from the tiny buttons and links. But the reason this is a major downside is that it encourages doomscrolling as the screen typically only displays one "piece" of content at a time.
