  Haptic feedback maxed out plus the tap sounds with the volume turned up to 100% is the way to go.

  I’ve been swiping for years. I can’t believe no one else in my tight circle does it.

    I can’t get my head round it.

      It seems to work terribly on iphones, even with Google’s keyboard. (Source: one single iphone which was entirely uncooperative.)

        Try going a little slower. That always makes it more accurate for me.

      Start with swiping not too fast and keep track on prediction bar, you often don’t have to swipe the whole word. You can take breaks mid-swipe, no problem.

    I’ve always swiped but somehow just install voice to text. Game changer!

      I’m in too many places where chatting to my phone wouldn’t go over well.

        Ah that makes perfect sense. I’m alone for much of my day.

  I fucking love haptic feedback. They suck only when the system used is a motor with a half-weight. The linear oscillating weight ones are amazing.

    I like it if it’s really really subtle. Basically the minimum length vibration, which is 2ms on heliboard.

    Anything longer, I find annoying.

  I can’t even use they keyboard properly without haptic feedback.

  Boomers and normies appear to love it.

  I never tried swiping. Maybe i should look into that.

    I hate tapping away on the glass but swiping works okay, until the phone decides a word couldn’t possibly be what you’re trying for. My most recent frustration was New Zealand, which of course worked fine this time.

      I use a FOSS keyboard and it’s not very accurate, but all still way better than typing everything.
