    maybe the idea is that round keys will have less typos than rectangular keys that are all touching each other?

      Hopefully with the more available space between the keys, then there will be less typos.

      I type with my thump cause I like to use my phone one handed but I get a lot of typos due to that.

      Florisboard beta keyboard lets you increase that available space even further by decreasing the letter size. It’s still missing other features tho, like word suggestions, auto correct etc.

      They are most likely running an A/B test on exactly those metrics.

      We’ll know if it’s successful if they roll it out in the end.
