    Hey thanks for posting info about various keyboards. I’m typing this on flickboard. I downloaded it after reading your post. The circle to capitalize the center letter is a little wonky for me but otherwise so far so good.

    I like trying non-standard keyboards since they might work better and there’s no physical form constraints so why not.

    My all time favorite keyboard was minuum, but it wasn’t open source so I stopped using it when I started to care about that stuff.

      After watching that vid, I’m sad to see that it’s no longer being developed and that the devs didn’t leave any open source behind. :( That would have been really cool to try out.

      Good rule of thumb to capitalize letters with circle is just to make the circle as large as it can go within the keyboard area. It doesn’t have to be centered around the key, just needs to start on the key. For center I usually just circle down from the key as far as I can.
