Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam all have higher degrees of impact due to Sanskrit but they are all dravidian languages, derived from ancient Tamil.
And 32 characters is not much longer than, say: python manage.py makemigrations
Notice the difference between the old and new keyboards, in the ratio of the difference between the touchable area of the arrow keys (up and down) with the control key. Also in the old keyboard, on the top of the down arrow key, there is a line which will help feel the difference in the keys. In the new keyboard, that plastic line on the down key is moved to the bottom. If I keep the finger in the keyboard, it is not easy for me to feel if I am in the up key or the down key without looking at the keyboard. This is my personal thing and you may not feel the same.
> The chicklet keys are slightly concave
The keyboard that I tried is almost flat. Even if it was slightly concave, they are no way close to the original curviness in the classic keyboard. Even in your image you can see that. That curvature is clearly feel-able for my fingers.
> This is subjective.
Agreed. All these are subjective. I just stated my opinion. We don't have to agree :) I did a typing test and I was able to reach about 100 words per minute in the old keyboard but could go only up to 80 words or so. I was using the old keyboard for long. It is possible that I would have reached the same speed with the chiclet keyboard too if I had spent more time, but I have lost interest with the new keyboard by then.
Thank you for such a lovely product. Someday I would like to contribute to your project(s) more.
You mean, like Java and C# ?!
