It's not a DataHand, but here's someone typing on a modern DIY version of one [1]. The side motions don't look too unnatural to me.

Yeah, most of the heavily used keys are mapped to north, south and down. There are a few letters mapped to side keys, but they're mostly on the first two fingers. The first finger can do either side direction fairly easily, while the middle finger can do the inward (toward the thumb) direction a bit more easily than the outer direction.
