      So many people got so good with T9! And then like a fart in the wind the skill was not usable anymore.

        You don’t even have to be good. Moving that cursor around the alphabet is slow and annoying as fuck.

          Especially when keys randomly get stuck as pressed for seconds at a time

          And when FUCKING GOOGLE DECIDED THAT PRESSING “UP” WHILE IN THE FIRST ROW SHOULD CLOSE THE KEYBOARD WITHOUT SAVING YOUR INPUT

        My smartwatch has a T9 keyboard option. It’s the best method for typing on small devices IMO.

          Nah, at that size no keyboard works. The dictation on my apple watch works great though, and doesn’t even require internet these days.

            Yeah it does! I tried it on an Oppo Watch from like 5 years ago (the square ones) and it was golden.

      This is a great idea. You’re totally right. I’m a little jealous I didn’t think of it before, ngl.
