Hey, I've been interested in the twiddler for quite a while but I've been hesitant to buy one since I haven't seen much evidence of anyone being actually proficient in using them, most of the videos on youtube are just unboxings and first impressions.

How fast can you type with it? Can it be easily used for key-combinations using modifier keys and such?

Here is me typing something like "cat /etc/*release", sorry for low quality: https://github.com/andrey-utkin/wearable-computer/blob/maste...

I'd say it's OK. It's not even remotely on par with typing speed on laptop-size keyboard, but I'd say it provides a reasonable trade-off. And it has enough keys to use desktop software without much pain one way or another.

It’s not loading for me on my iPhone so I only saw the image from readme: are you using that remote looking gadget to type? And monitor is the iPhone?
