It's not great but not absolutely horrible. Two-finger typing most of the time and the overall feel is stiff, but not too stiff.
I usually hold it with my hands and use my thumbs, like a Game Gear. Re-mapping the "d-pad" joystick and "yxba" buttons to arrow keys and hjkl [1] makes it easy to read and navigate text content on it (hence of gopher://), especially with the wide and high resolution screen.
