And regarding the 3+2 thing that seems true, I always count to 5 in couples of 3s and 2s.
Why every time the finger starts to slides the only letters left on the keyboard are "EABCD"? How do I type an 'n' for instance? I see that they do a round-trip to enter numbers, but how am I supposed to enter '6'?
These may be the worst demo videos I've ever seen.
I remember another alternative-paradigm keyboard, 8pen, which had pretty good and instructive videos. They should learn from that.
The numbers I'm not sure. I think it is the same concept with 1-4 on the first tile (blue) and other numbers on other tiles.
Still doesn't seem like it would be faster for typing.
Blue (1st) tile is EABCD, Green (2nd) is FIGHJ, Yellow (3rd) is KLONM, Orange (4th) is PQRTS, and Red (5th) is VWXY.
That's what I assumed too, but I didn't want to be sure of it because one have to be too stupid to do a demo of a product using always the same part. "Look I designed a keyboard and I can type with it: 'aaaaaaaaaaa'".
Okay, so it means that if I want to type 'n' I hit the 3rd tile and then I have to move four tiles away. Except I can't. So I guess I'll have to go backward when I reach the last tile in the direction I chose. But that seem to conflict with what I inferred for numbers…
Also Swiftkey is pretty forgiving once you use it more and the predictions become a real time saver.
