> Is using the keyboard with its tiny little buttons really that much better for you? It's way, way better. On my old Blackberry, I could type as fast as I could write by hand. (The Blackberry didn't even do any form of auto-correction or text-prediction). I don't even have very large fingers, but there's a huge benefit to having the tactile feedback when typing quickly. Similarly, I'm dramatically slower on a full-size touchscreen "keyboard" than on a physical keyboard. Of course, this effect is more noticeable the faster you type. I notice it a lot, because on a physical keyboard, I can theoretically type ~100 wpm[0]. In practice, this means I end up typing as fast as I think (which is obviously slower than 100wpm). On a touchscreen "keyboard", I can't type as fast as I can think, and it's incredibly frustrating to keep halting my train of thought so what's on the screen can catch up. [0] for a typing test, where I don't have to stop and think about what I'm typing.
