I'm typing on my pixel 6 Pro and it still feels satisfying.
Gimmick?
There's also something to be said about touch-typing. Even though it was slower due to T9, I miss the dumbphone days of being able to type an error-free message without ever having to look down at the keys.
Not sure about the key waterproofing of this phone, but not being able to type out in the rain is another thing that really makes me dislike touchscreen typing.
When you get old, your ability to type reliably on a phone's touchscreen keyboard starts to go down the pan. Having actual tactile "things" to land on can make it easier.
Not that I’d trade screen real estate for keyboards nowadays, but there’s probably still some diehards out there that want them
I'm going to have to think carefully about why I should NOT order this device.
Virtual keyboard haptic feedback seems more like gimmick. If it actually serves a functional purpose, I'd be surprised and interested. Maybe if you had feedback activate as you glide through the keys, but Google's keyboard at least doesn't.
