> There’s a bit of a trope that people who want hardware keyboards in the era of touchscreens are idiots.
To be clear, I wasn't implying that in the slightest. I was just curious if folks who say they prefer physical keyboards have tried swipe typing. I didn't really like "tap on glass" typing either, but once I got used to swipe typing it was a "I'll never go back" moment for me.
Sorry it seemed that way, it wasn’t aimed at your reply. Personally I’ve tried both swiping and tapping. I feel out of control with both. FWIW, I had to make 7 corrections typing this comment.
I feel crippled typing on my iPhone. It takes ages to type and correct messages. I often can’t get my pass code right first time. And I remember that typing was never an issue on a blackberry.
