I have been typing, at the direction of our traveling member, to use both thumbs and hover over the PKB. Man, what a learning curve this is... hahaha Typing with both thumbs and hovering, I am not experiencing the cursor popping up on either KEY2. Which perhaps means that there was something in the January and February updates that worked on correcting that issue.
Now, the disappointing thing is I still get some erratic swiping on both KEY2's although significantly improved from what I was experiencing before. My current KEY2 was in a good mood over the weekend, prior to getting the replacement device, and today after updating both KEY2's I'm not seeing any appreciable difference between the two when swiping predicted words. I can say I believe the swiping is improved on my current KEY2 which unfortunately leads me to believe the replacement device doesn't have a different PKB than what my current KEY2 has. Additionally, thumb placement is still critical but the need to do multiple swipes appears to have diminished greatly.
That being said, I did fire up my PRIV that I used for the past 3 years and hammered out some emails this morning. Interestingly enough, the typing and swiping was flawless as it was during my 3 years of use. I am left to believe that since I am still experiencing some swiping issues, although not as bad as before, there remains an issue. Software vs hardware? I have no clue. But clearly based on my findings the KEY2 PKB does not perform as well as the PRIV PKB.
I'm in a quandary of sorts whether to keep my current KEY2 or the replacement. I'm bothered a bit over the yellowish tint to the screen but it's not totally objectionable. I still haven't found any adjustment for that and the brightness adjustment of the keyboard and navigation button not holding is concerning. I also had an issue with the fingerprint scanner not reading properly and I did a reset on that and it's functioning fine currently. The space bar is solid and no clicking as my current KEY2 doesn't either.
I did email my BBMo representative this morning about the issues I discovered but haven't heard back. I will email him again later today to update him on my findings after doing the update this morning.
