I love it :)
After about a month of spontaneous usage, I still can't type as fast as I
can using a traditional QWERTY layout, but it gets the job done in a
wearable enviroment.
Also, after many months of non-usage, I was able to quickly pick up the
FrogPad and start typing again. I'd have to look at the keys every so often,
but at a decent pace I guess.
A little awkward, and combination buttons (alt, ctrl, num lk) and whatnot
tend to be quite bothersome, but I guess with more usage, it'll become more
comfortable?
What exactally did you want to know about it?
