Why I need a keyboard attached to my phone

[brunoais 334]

So... I'm quite decent at typing at my PC:

However, at my phone, my typing speed is abismal:

But I was told that typing using swipe is faster!

I didn't want to believe, so I tried again... And I got 14WPM (65 CPM) but 66% accurancy.

Then I used the small separate clumsy BT keyboard I was given as a present last year, that from time to time disconnects at will (doesn't register a key press when disconnected). I had my PC desktop in front of me, so I had somewhere to place the phone while typing:

Way better. Much more accurate. Somewhere in between for speed between PC keyboard speed and phone screen typing.

 

 

Although, nowadays, I found a program that helps me when I'm at my PC and I need to type on my phone (scrcpy).

 

I don't intent to get typing speeds I get with scrcpy with the PRO¹ but I'm really hoping for the typing speeds I can get with the BT keyboard without all the hassle I get with that clumsy thing.

For you, PRO¹ owners... What kinds of typing speeds do you get?

There's another thread about this I posted in before but since this is the first one i found... Here's where I got after practicing deliberately on the Pro1 for a bit, that took quite a few attempts though 😅 (with the test here https://typing-speed-test.aoeu.eu/?lang=en )

Note that the other page with the octopus n all calculates WPM differently so only the CPM value is really comparable. I can't cope well with the way it scrolls text.
