Comment on Made an enclosure for my beepy. I think enclosures are my favourite part of printing
directive0@lemmy.world 8 months agoFor coding I almost prefer it?
I think we take for granted how much predictive magic is happening behind the scenes on capacitive touch keyboards like on smartphones. I often find coding on a smartphone kind of challenging, but on this its pretty easy. Having modifier keys available is also helpful.
I’m not trying to say its great, its just… very fine? Very okay.

My last physical QWERTY phone was a Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G which I broke in like 2016, and I still miss it every day. Actually, that’s not true – I had a Blackberry Priv briefly afterwards, which was stolen. Even that was not a great phone, but the dinky keyboard it had make it miles more usable than the current glass bars of soap.
Touch screens are absolute pants for typing. Just, utter flaming garbage. Anyone who claims otherwise just has Stockholm Syndrome and is desperately seeking post-hoc validation over not being offered the choice anymore.
I bought a Moto Z Play on the promise that there would be a keyboard Mod for it, which turned out to be vaporware. I’m still salty about that.
