Anyone feel typing on the keyboard is a chore compared to typing on the phone with swipe enabled? - eviltoast

I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.

      I don’t properly touch type. I have pretty good muscle memory for a standard qwerty, but typing is still very much a hand-eye coordination exercise for me. I can do the standard transcription typing tests at about 50 wpm, and compose or type from memory at maybe 70ish. I don’t hate swiping, and it’s much better than thumb-mushing for polysyllabic words, but I’m nowhere close to even my modest typing speeds on a proper keyboard.
