    Physical keyboards have markers on home row so you don’t need to look. They existed on the phone keyboards too.

    The guy is right about being able to do things without looking. I remember using speed-dial to open a text conversation and send a message without ever looking at my phone. It was pretty great.

    I’ll try to type without looking: this is me round without looking in a phone keyboards. Yeah, it just doesn’t work as well without knowing where exactly I’m pressing.

    It would be hard to make a phone slim enough and handle a physical keyboard again, but it would be awesome. It would make writing code on mobile a possibility again. Today it’s too tedious.
