Hello, You are correct. The vast majority of sighted people much prefer to interact directly with the touch-screen. Touching something and directly manipulating it is much more comfortable.

My typing is done through a bluetooth braille keyboard for long typing, but I use the onscreen keyboard for short messages or when I don't have my braille keyboard available.
