One thing I remember from an interview with Mr. Hawkins was that they take "big thumbs" into account with the key design. As long as you get close and press down, it's likely that even though you thumb is in contact with multiple keys when you do it. When I press a D for example, my thumb is also in contact with the S, the F and the X. But 99 times out of a hundred, it's D that I get!!

My thumbs are, indeed, pretty unwieldy, compared to that keyboard. On the other hand, I'm finding the keyboard becomes easier to use over time, so maybe it's just another case of resistance to change. Look, I'll be 6 decades on the planet come October. Just about the time I become comfortable with something, you youngsters come up with a replacement. What's worse, it's usually better than what it replaced. Still, I'd be willing to do a wpm check -- you on the keyboard and me with Grafitti. ;-) Don Ferguson wrote: > Based on my experience I'd recommend the Borg approach: resistance is > futile; you too will be assimilated. > > > > Start using and fully embrace the keyboard.
