Well, I’m writing with the Ekapad. I’m going pretty slowly, but steadily gaining skill, speed, and confidence.
At this point I need the smaller of the two cheatsheets for ready reference, but increasingly I find myself verifying what my fingers have already remembered of their own accord.
I usually have a high tolerance for cryptically dense summary sheets, but find the larger of the two reference cards to be confusing. I`ll put it aside for the time being.
My concerns about the size of the keypad have lessened somewhat, even if the sizes of my fingers haven`t.
I have problems settling on the best position for my hand and the EkaPad. Right now I`m steadying the keypad with my right hand and keying with my left. Obviously that is not an optimal solution, but I`ve been having trouble with hitting the right keys on occasion because the relative position of the pad shifts a little. It`s a chicken and egg problem. I`m starting to see why resting the hand against the chest or belly might be a good idea. Meanwhile, this compromise lets me focus on perfecting my keying. Later, I will experiment with using the holder and different positions.
Another thing is that I occasionally have a hard time coordinating the pressing of two keys, producing, say, an `o` on my way to a `b`.
That is all I have time for at the moment. So far, so good.
