You know folks? I was just reminiscing about May/June 2018 when I first saw a leaked rendition of the K2 on my K1. It was Passport like styling with way better specs than the K1 SE I was viewing it on. I was so excited to get my hands on the newest beautifully designed BlackBerry devise. I ordered my K2 SE from Wal-Mart online and could hardly wait the 3 days that delivery took. Once I got it in hand I felt instant Joy! Then - SmokeAir posted about a problem that I had noticed for a while, I jumped on the thread (2nd post) and now we are here! I feel truly sad and somewhat betrayed by Shadowberry! When I think of what could have been! Well, rant over! RIP BlackBerry...
i honestly never used the swipe up on any of the devices. Never helped me type any faster than I already did which is plenty fast.
It isn't necessarily all about typing fast in my opinion... for those of us that have been accustomed to using the feature of typing and swiping predicted words on our previous BlackBerry devices as a matter convenience, is it wrong for us to expect the same flawless experience on our KEY2s?
Unfortunately that is not the case as the PKB on the KEY2 has been flawed since launch with regard to typing and swiping of predicted words... acknowledged and confirmed by TCL/Blackberry Mobile but unfortunately never resolved.
So, because some folks don't use a certain feature of a product, then said product gets a pass? Where on God's Green Earth is this even remotely acceptable?!? Oh, wait, maybe in the land of BBMo and Associated Organizations?!? The Capacitive PKB is flawed, period! Whether one uses it or not is irrelevant!

I don't think that's the argument here.
Many people, myself included, simply believe that the KEY² keyboard, despite its faults, still has a better overall typing experience than any other modern device.

With some folks on CrackBerry it's déjà vu all over again...

I guess those "many people" weren't enough to make this device a success.
More importantly, how many people actually use the features? With me for instance, something I don’t use isn’t broken, it’s just a waste of money. I’d love a Key2 LE price but with Key2 specs. Do I care about Capacitive PKB with it’s problems ? Nope. The problems themselves become subjective. Cause? Effect? Measurements of such? Tolerance level?
I’ve heard others compare the performance to Classic, Passport and PRIV which is totally irrelevant. The better supposed QC didn’t lead to increased sales or profitability. It didn’t keep BB from exiting mobile hardware. It’s probably the biggest reason that VZW chose to carry the Key2 LE recently.
