Not the case.  Both twiddlers are remappable.  Both have letters on the front.
I developed my own keymap based on letter pair frequencies.  One big
advantage to doing your own keymap (other that the stock keymap blows),
is that you are never tempted to look at your fingers.

(Yes, I have used a twiddler and keyboard simultaneously on one machine).
