u just touch ur finger on it lots right??? does the angle matter? should you do multiple angles? straight up? or the angles you usually use?

read the instructions, dude. it tells you to use slightly different parts of your fingertip when you're training it. don't just lift and release a bunch in the exact same spot using the exact same part of your finger.

or I guess there's going to be an option where there's a row of virtual f keys up there along with esc and i'm sure it has the craptic engine so it still feels sorta tactile

there had better be an extensible API for this thing though!

on gaming keyboards they're an optional feature and don't replace critical keys.

i wonder what it feels like to be typing on a regular keyboard and then occasionally hit a touch key. probably p awful

i wonder also if they've done any tests on the forces experienced by a finger when decelerating to a stop on a physical, moving key vs on a hard surface, and what that feels like at 80wpm all day

e: i'm positive now that this is a proof of concept to replace the entire keyboard with another touchscreen and craptic engine

i guess it not that bad, they are also switching the butterfly keyboard on the pro

so the escape will have about as much travel as the rest of the keyboard
