KEYone Vs Classic Keyboard
Blackberry Classic is arguably the best keyboard ever seen on any smartphone. Yes i said any because virtual keyboards are kinda all the same and second to PKB. Passport is great but 3 rows + too much travel space for average hands. Priv is great but that clicky feedback is missing and the keys are all too flat to really enjoy. I know the Bold 9900's and the 9700's have zero fault when it comes to the keyboard but everyone swears that the classic is even better. Now just by looking at the classic, its keys looked a lil too perfect to me. Looking at both side by side, can the KEYone possible compare favourably? Is it as good or nearly as good?Attachment 419644 Attachment 419645
KeyONE Vs Classic Keyboard
The 9780 I had was the most stiff KB I ever experienced. I swear that after a 4 hour intense session of BBM to my GF back in the day, my thumbs felt like they were lifting weights!!!! Too stiff.
My 9790 was nice, smooth as butter but NOT CLICKY enough for feedback and feeling like you actually pressed the key down enough to enter the letter. Still a good KB tho. I would have kept it if it didn't die after 4 months.
The 9900 is the perfect balance and also the model that the Classic tried to imitate, and imitation is the most sincere form of flattery ;) It had 10 years of innovation to get it right. The perfect amount of "clickiness" with a nice wide body and NO long term typing fatigue whatsoever. Just relaxed and fast typing that is fun and you actually look foreward to using for the long haul.
Here is to hoping the K1's KB is like the 99's.
