Tactile Surface (Touch Screen) Transform To Keyboard Buttons

[manuleka 0]

a company working on touch screens which will transform its surface to buttons (keyboard keys) when used http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/gadgets/8183899/Tactile-tablet-keyboard-has-disappearing-buttons

Then the screen will work like a tablet? I hate these keyboard-like buttons on tablets, you feel nothing while pressing, so the password you type is always wrong, sometimes you didn't press the virtual keyboard key, sometimes you pressed it twice.

I needed a lot of time until I mastered a standard keyboard.With a lot of comfort, some geometrical tricks in order to feel the F or the J key without using my eyes. And the feeling while the key goes down until stopped.
With the virtual keyboard on the tablet, the "a" letter is not located between the q and the w, it's directly below the the a, which is far away from the place I learned it. So, all the fast-typing rhythm is lost.
Hopefully, some tablets also have real keyboard, so the future is not rally dark.

here's a screen shot of Galaxy Note II keyboard... it seems laid-out similarly to a standard keyboard

This layout is nice, it's not the one I have on my tablet.

most recent touch devices comply with the standard keyboard layout

ouch! This would mean that I just bought an old touch device!
