As the dots are reference points less dots IMO are far less confusing. Also at least with speed dots there is no grid. Just small dots aprox the size of a Braille dot and they in no way effect use of the touch screen. I find it easier and have more control than with plane glass which is more slippery. Moving icons is no harder or different with speed dots. Give it a try with an open mind and good chance you'll like it and if not it's only a few dollars lost. Oh, you can see the dots but my daughter and sighted friends have no trouble seeing the screen and I don't find it destroys the tactile asthetic either.
