When you can't feel individual keys on a touchscreen device it can be hard to type at speed.

Well that's a load of bull. If anything, it's quicker to type on a touch sensitive screen than a regular keypad

Wow. This is pretty cool. I personally don't have any issues with touch keyboards, however I have seen many people saying that they want to 'feel' the press of a button when they type, so it's good for those kinds of people. This technology is also new, so it'll be interesting to see how they expand its use.

Looks legit.
But it's a form of liquid they use? Seems sketchy. Of course it's a work on progress but I can see some people having issues when the liquid doesn't retract all the way etc

Everyone is developing new ways of being able to effectively use a touch screen keyboard but I don't see this a viable option.

Either you're intentionally trolling, or you're actually thick enough to believe what you're saying. I hope it's the former.

So because a study of "20 expert typists" say so, it must be universally true? Other people aren't allowed to have an opinion?
