Yeah you may be right, I just couldn't work out how I'm supposed to use it... One finger, two thumbs, 2 fingers? With the iPhone i use 1 finger and can type pretty fast, but with the G1 it was just really hard to hit the right key, and you actually have to press pretty hard which slowed me down a lot.
How long did it take you to get used to it? Does it always take so much effort to register a keypress, or does that 'loosen up'.. :/
- randallsquared 18y agoI've had mine for about two months, and the keyboard feel hasn't changed. I haven't noticed that it takes a lot of effort, but I tend to press buttons much harder than necessary anyway, since my proprioception is poor. By the same token, I'm fairly abusive of hardware, and I was really worried that the G1 would come apart quickly, but it's held up very well, aside from the occasional ominous creaking sound. One thing I really like about the G1 keyboard is that there's a definite "break" when the key is pressed, so if I'm paying attention, I can tell when the key goes down. The physical feedback helps a lot for me.
- lacker 18y agoIf you're trying to do 1-finger typing, no wonder you found the G1 inconvenient. Use the G1 keyboard with two thumbs, holding the device with both hands. (I can't even figure out how you would use it with two fingers.)
- axod 18y agoYeah I just can't do 2 thumb typing. iPhone one finger peck works for me... does the G1 also have an on screen keyboard?
