A new keyboard designed specifically for Android devices has recently been introduced, and according to its first users (who tested it as a demo), it looks like something out of a science fiction story. Called Slice Keyboard, this virtual keyboard breaks with convention, offering a design and key layout completely different from anything you've seen before on electronic devices.
While the physical keyboard has been increasingly sidelined for some time now with the rise of touchscreens on tablets, this trend has been taken to its extreme with the Android app Slice Keyboard . This app doesn't use a linear or grid layout to display the keys for typing. Instead, Slice Keyboard uses circles to intelligently distribute the different letters needed to begin writing any type of text.
Slice Keyboard, a virtual keyboard dedicated to Android games
First of all, we must mention that all our fingers will be in constant motion , as the Slice Keyboard virtual keyboard requires. For example, the pinky finger is always activating or deactivating certain functions located on the sides of the tablet screen, while the thumb is using the space bar. Therefore, the other fingers will have to use the three small circles to display uppercase or lowercase letters (or special characters) for typing.
But we've also mentioned that this keyboard could be useful for Android gamers, since these circles (containing each letter of the keyboard) could function like parts of a game controller , but much more sophisticated. Using Slice Keyboard will surely enhance your daily activities focused on typing or playing games on your Android tablet.
Slice Keyboard is primarily designed for Android tablets 7 inches and larger , although the manufacturer recommends a larger size, as the larger the area of distribution of this design, the easier it will be to work with our hands in this interesting Android application.
