This post explains why a 2-row, 16-key keyboard structure is a natural fit for mobile environments and how it scales. It also explores the rationale behind key features of QWERTY mini Pro, including the integration of standard and wide layouts, fast switching, and efficient input.

    I agree the value proposition of alternative layouts is a bit shaky for small touchscreen keyboards. It's not obvious one does enough typing on them to offset the switching cost. (As opposed to physical keyboards where a more ergonomic layout is a no-brainer.)

    That said, I have had good experiences with switching to an even more radical layout: https://entropicthoughts.com/learning-keybee
