Comment on Thumb-Key Speed

In that case, I attached you a screenshot of my personal layout. I tried optimizing for
- roughly qwertz positions to easen learning curve
- most common german monograms, bigrams and some trigrams (confer how you’d input “sch” with a very quick diagonal tap tap swipe gesture with only one change in one dimension, staying on one axis)
- keeping ergonomics in mind, optimized for right hand use and positioning more common letters with more easy to execute gestures, and having as few out of bounds gestures as possible
- not ignoring english completely
I really should update my thumb key

Thank you for sharing your layout. It was a good starting point. I changed some things arond a bit and arrived at the following layout. I find it good for writing in german, but in english there are still some challenges like ou or oo that are kind of slow…

Glad I could help! for bigrams like ou I feel it natural, when the second letter can be started from the point where the swipe gesture from the first letter ended.
