I’m getting tired of these articles from this thing… It’s not a keyboard, it’s a chord typer, like if you want to type “hello” you instead essentially type “helo” (in a potentially still unambiguous order) and it autocompletes, there’s plenty of such chord typers (and indeed programs you can use to have that functionality with a normal keyboard if you so wish, that’s basically what phone keyboards are for example).
