Bold's chassis is in constant & controlled motion while single thumbing. IOW, as with Bold, my hand moves the handset so a target key can greet thumb part way. Lol) contributes greatly to rock & roll the chassis permitting easier reach of distant, or near, keys. That top to bottom 'graspability' (thanks Boon. No point in photo with 9900's permanent Monet mode 'camera', tho. SOMEone at UH achieved impressive art form in sculpting a relatively large chassis footprint to FEEL smaller than its dimensions! Sculpting bevels, edges, corners etc so that top to bottom can be securely grasped between first finger at top corner and forth finger at bottom. A forgotten art form? They've since (by choice?) forgotten more about pkb intricacies than UH will likely EVER learn. BlackBerry perfected pkb evolution thru Bold series. To put it bluntly, fwiw, compared to nearly any BB KB, TP's pkb sux. Last edited by idssteve 01-11-22 at 05:48 PM. Strictly aesthetic, for me, but worth noting. that slick surface does NOT wear! It's the only PKB handset of mine that shows NO key paint wear! Key paint wear really poses no issue for me since I so rarely look to type. But flat thumbing slows me down and greatly challenges precision. If I flat thumbed, K1 might not lag so far behind K2s. Some technique adjustment has gotten it close enough to 40 for 'honest rounding'. Also simply better practiced.Ī month ago, I'd rated K1 in the thirties. Also I've re-trained technique to target the lower portions of the keys. TP's keys have softened quite a bit with use. Just a month ago, my best on TP was at 50%. K1's slick rounded sides, top heavy weight distribution, and rounded slick keys conspire against MY wpm. Also use thumb nail as opposed to thumb pad. Sorry.Įdit: to be more clear, I type exclusively single handed. After trying K1 I was contemplating giving up on PKB. How can I 'revise' measured quantification? Your experience probably differs from mine. That's why I qualified my observations for '. K1's slick rounded keys prove incompatible with my thumb NAIL technique. Handset grasp & balance plays a BIG role in single handed typing. I own a BlackBerry Keyone BE and can't believe for one second the Titan Pocket has a better keyboard, your percentages need revising It's not ALL about just the keyboard.
