This is excellent. I had a frogpad and got reasonably comfortable with it, my use case was mostly messaging so not a heavy use of special characters like {}/|Etc. Given my experience with it, I agree that using it as a model for this project was a good choice. An acquaintance, Steve Roberts, had a really clever keyboard that attached to the handlebars of his recumbent bicycle so that he could type while riding.

Out of curiosity, how fast did you type on the frogpad ?

I really don't know, I didn't measure it. It wasn't as fast as a QWERTY keyboard but it was fast enough. It was definitely way faster than typing using a 10 key numpad on a phone. Based on Steve's recommendation I had also tried a one-hand keyboard that was basically a half sphere with buttons for your four fingers and a number of 'shift' buttons for your thumb (basically all chord all the time) and I never got comfortable enough with it to use it for any length of time.
