The thing I found interesting in trying to type out a single test sentence is how many of the letters were reachable with just a tap. It wasn’t until I really studied the layout closely that I noticed that it wasn’t in true alphabetical order. Oddly intuitive, although I would probably despise using it long-term.
- readthenotes1 1y agoThe most common English letters are found at the top of the triad, and some only have punctuation as the other option -that makes for easy navigation
- juliendorra 1y agoRight, I noticed that too! (especially typing in english, might be different in other languages) That's why it's totally different to learn about an UX and actually experiment it, we can notice these things. But, all in all, I think you would probably get used to it long term! The QWERTY layout was just a fluke, not the super optimized layout we retcon it to be. Even its designer later designed different layouts! But the particular typewriter it was designed for had a big commercial success, so there was marketing convergence. It's of course wholly unadapted to typing on glass!
