looking at old pre-modern smartphone sony ericsson pda style phones and i think i just found one of the worst keyboards ever conceived

"The "butterfly keyboard" which delivered a qwerty experience on a constrained keypad using rocker keys was conceived by Björn Ahlberg who is credited on the patent for this design."

If you're gonna constrain yourself to this kinda space you may as well go back to the numberpad + t9 predictive text

honestly we should go back to t9 on a lot of things because no way am I fucking typing out a message on a qwerty keyboard with a controller

nothing solved typing with a controller more elegantly than the psp did back in 2005

Wait, oh god, rocker switches? I thought it’d be like T9, where the software just does it’s best guess at which letter you wanted from the key lol

YEAH... that was my first guess too but nope! rocker switches! :)

Okay, between this and Apple’s experiments with the ultra thin “butterfly keyboard” design, I’m beginning to wonder if that term was ever used for anything good.
