Don't you think it'd be rather hard to go without the tactile feedback provided by our keyboards? I can imagine people getting really lazy with their keystrokes when performing them with a glove in midair or on a table, making it hard to interpret the input.

I am able to touch type on my iPad with reasonable accuracy. It’s slower/less accurate than a tactile keyboard, of course; however, I don’t carry a keyboard in my pocket, so perhaps this is a good middle ground.

Most the senses we use to detect the tactile feedback of a keyboard are exposed to a pair of gloves however. It should be possible to approximate sensation to aid with input in VR.
