    Using ThumbKey’s “english thumbkey words symbols” layout along with circular gestures for upper / lower case letters and numbers I can reliably score 60 words per minute on MonkeyType. I also don’t need to look down on the keyboard to type, so personally I love it.

    With that said, if your free time is limited and you also type on a variety of languages, switching to ThumbKey may not be worth the effort since a lot of languages have their own layouts.

    Personally I don’t see myself switching away from ThumbKey, but it’s kind of a vim vs nano situation. I think Traditional T9 will be the happy medium for most people in this case.

      Thank you for your input. I think I’m gonna give another try.

      Note for other readers, Traditional T9 is a keyboard available on F-Droid.
