Does the iPad keyboard annoy you?

[s2mikey]

I like the size and responsiveness. The only issue I have is not having the characters I want available when I need them. Having to double-tap, bring up ssecondary menus/screens, whatever - its a little bit of a hassle. I suppose its also something that I need to get used to since Ive only had the unit for about 10 days!

Its a minor annoyance though... very minor. Overall, it works well.

I struggled some at first, my first touch screen anything. I soon tried various styli and found a huge difference. I now use a stylus
that has a soft and fat tip and I can type very fast with few missed letters. I paid way too much for the first one after an eBay
search for "premium stylus" but since have found other sellers with the same item @ 8 for an .01¢ starting bid. They come from
Hong Kong and make a tiny profit in the shipping fee but still cost less than a dollar each. I found that most styli out there have a
'too firm' tip. The bulbous air-filled soft tip works wonderfully. I am totally disabled and spend almost all hours in bed and write
profusely.

Tried that, too. But attaching 10 styluses to my fingers turned out to be a hassle.

actually i like it alot and am now pretty used to it.
was abit annoyed that the split keyboard on ios 5 is too small for me to type correctly and quick ....

What's key for me is size and I find it quite adequate and easy to quickly type with both hands or at least two fingers.

It's one of the main reasons I chose this over other tablets!

Does the onscreen iPad keyboard annoy you?

Doesnt annoy me as such but if im going to be doing a lot searches or whatever i prefer the real keyboard on my mbp.

Nope! I can easily use the landscape one, and I'm really getting the hang of the split keyboard in portrait, and getting pretty good at that one too!

not really...it never bothered me...i have my screen locked in landscape mode {yeah i like to surf web and play games in landscape mode} and the thought of getting a BT keyboard never crossed my mind...

ipad2 on screen keyboard

By experience, the splitting gesture and utility of the on screen board in ipad2 are just marvelous and easier to work with. In fact, after my upgrade to ios5 I hardly use my Bluetooth enabled keyboard but always utilize the inbuilt keyboard.

It doesn't really annoy me but:

I find it easier to use with a stylus rather than my finger.

I don't use the split keypad as much as I was expecting to.

I would REALLY like to see a version of Swype for the iPad and the iPhone.

Aesthetically I think the split keyboard looks weird on the screen, but it is heavenly to use in portrait mode. I use it all the time, and have gotten quite good at it.

When I bought my iPad 2 I purchased the Apple wireless keyboard because I thought I would hate the on scene keyboard, but it turns out its not that bad. When I have long documents to type I use the keyboard, but otherwise I use the onscreen keyboard mostly.
