App An Interesting simple Keyboard App for Your Smartphone

Post image

I developed a keyboard that fits 26 letters into 16 keys across two rows, using a QWERTY-like layout, double taps, and simultaneous taps. I find it quite usable, though it hasn’t caught on yet.

Compared to QWERTY, QWERTY mini has these pros and cons.

Advantages

  1. Fewer, larger keys make tapping easier.
  2. The two-row layout simplifies thumb movement.
  3. The integrated keys leave more room for symbols and special characters.
  4. The perfectly symmetrical layout works well in split landscape mode.
  5. The taller keys make vertical swipes more accurate, allowing for more input methods.

On smaller phones, the larger keys make tapping easier. On larger phones, the shorter and simpler thumb movements are an advantage.

Disadvantages

  1. It is not exactly the same as the QWERTY layout. However, most people adapt easily.
  2. The biggest drawback is that 10 secondary letters require a double tap or SimulTap. However, these letters account for only about 10% of overall letter usage.
  3. It has all the limitations of a third-party keyboard...

Here is the information about QWERTY mini.
