Mar 09 10:35:31 * ..maybe there could still be a display even if it could programmatically ignore touch, but I guess such a small vendor is not able to just create custom displays? Mar 09 10:36:21 Interesting to read that the reviewer thinks that the keyboard is much better than on the FxTec Pro. I was thinking about the FxTec because I would prefer a slider, but I was put off by the fact that the keyboard is a lot smaller. Mar 09 10:36:40 And I agree that the keyboard on the Cosmo is really great. \o/ Mar 09 10:37:21 (A slider or convertible with the Cosmo keyboard would be awesome, but I have no idea how that would even work, realistically.) Mar 09 10:38:27 i would've like a smaller keyboard than what's on cosmo Mar 09 10:38:53 The one downside is that it's difficult to write single-handedly with a Gemini Mar 09 11:19:19 maybe there should be an alternative layout for portrait mode holding the keyboard on the right/left hands 🤔 Mar 09 14:56:53 flux1: thanks for the link, I have posted it on the forum Mar 09 23:05:18 i find the cosmo keyboard easy to use both sat at a desk and also holding in both hands and thumb-typing Mar 09 23:05:24 but i also have gorilla sized hands Mar 09 23:05:40 and ehh... i never really use it (the keyboard anyway) in portrait so eh Mar 09 23:06:17 I'd be interested to see a left hand-only layout like LH-Dvorak... but at the same time my hands are big enough to type one-handed fairly easily so eh XD not a big deal Mar 09 23:48:28 Acou_Bass: yes, but the common use case with my S7 is to pick it from the pocket and use it in the air with one hand. pretty difficult with Gemini :). Mar 09 23:48:42 fair Mar 09 23:48:47 i do that with my sony xperia Mar 09 23:48:55 but im quite happy 2-hand thumb typing **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Mar 10 02:59:57 2020
