My main problem, aside from the frustrating bug where spaces don't always register, is Table Mode. No matter how I turn my phone, or how many times I go to Away Mode and then back to Table Mode, or how many times I calibrate, Table mode is backwards. Dots 1-3 are on the right hand, while dots 4-6 are on the left. In fact, calibrating in this mode makes it worse, as I usually end up with dot 1 *between* dots 2 and 3, instead of preceding them. Away mode works fine, it's only Table Mode that seems to hate me. :) On Sep 25, 2014, at 5:29 PM, Cheryl Homiak <[email protected]> wrote:
