Since we're seeing people getting 60+wpm we can't call it a gimmick.
Anyone played with one of these?
I don't see it replacing my F-122 any time soon, but an input for my phone it may become?

That 60 wpm with this device seems pretty difficult. It's a tap for each letter so we are talking about 250 "precise" taps in a minute.

Yeh I call bullshit on 60wpm on that. I would say it would be possible if you had two of them , one for each hand.

I would guess you need a lot more taps than one for each letter. How else would you type 26 diffent letters + numbers and special characters with only 5 fingers?
I didn't invest that much time in my seach, but I couldn't find the information, how it actually works! This website is all about pretty pictures and "Buy now" buttons, but not so much about information.

In the demos they do that. It seems it's a positional system tapping some fingers at the same time each time. So that 1 tap with the thumb and the index is a different character than the thumb, the index and the ring finger.

As I supposed, a third of the "words" counted are 1-3 characters long. I doubt than a third of words used in "real world usage are this long.

You may read that the moon has something to do with eclipses. I have never seen the moon yet. You do not see the moon. So near the sun, it is as completely inv
The definition of word is "average length of a word in characters including spaces, numbers, and other printable characters".
So that's 162 Characters in 30 seconds.
(162*2)/5 = 64.8wpm

Day 1.
3 hours total broken into a few sessions. I have all letters, numbers, and many symbols mostly° memorized.
°I say mostly because every so often my brain will <space> on a character and stop my flow.
I would estimate that when on a roll I'm at about 8 wpm.

So they can prove that they are the best with a highly obscure word input device.

Mobile data entry.
I got RSI in my thumb so I'm banned from phone keyboards.
