Does anyone else think split keyboard is too small?

[skimonkey]

I actually like the split keys also! I don't think it's small at all. It's just needs time for me to adjust where the letters are and using my eyes to see that I have pressed the right buttons!!

Whether piccolo or tuba, it's a learning process for all keyboards, including iPad split keyboard. Hang in there fingers!

Good idea, but the split is WAY too small for me...

Once you get used to it i find i can use the split keyboard even more than the whole keyboard for thumb typing

I will never use the split option, makes no sense at all.

YES!

The split keyboard was one of the new features of iOS 5 I was most looking forward to but due to its size find I don't use it as much as I was expecting to.

I also find it a lot easier to use in portrait mode than landscape, the opposite to what I was expecting.

I was actually hoping the keyboad/keys would be a bit bigger on landscape, given the extra real estate. Nope. Methinks user-adjustable sizing would be perfect.

Yes it is too small. In my case, I find it easier to use in landscape. Get more errors in portrait.

I do have another suggestion. It would be helpful if Apple would use the same little popup letters present on the iPhone keyboard after pressing a key. While I agree the keys are too small, making them much bigger will force the thumbs to travel too far. That's why I think popup letters could be helpful IMHO.

A little small, but I'm getting used to it. I like it though!

I tried a friends iPad with the new split keybopard and yeah, its a little small. I think the other thing is that I seem to be able to type pretty fluently using just my right hand while holding the iPad with my left hand. I dont expect to be doing a heckuva lot of typing anyways so this wasnt a big concern for me. If I have to type up a large docoment or do a fancy spreadsheet - I'll use my big, clunky laptop for that

Its rediculous how small it is. I dont want to feel like im typing on a phone

 

[Veego]

Yes, too small. Keep the height of a standard keyboard and reduce width slightly. Completely useless. I agree... Should be user defined. Need more options. Many more options. Where was sj on this one? Guess we'll nvr know.

The solution to the too small split keyboard is to integrate the pop up letter tabs like on the iPhone keyboard. I don't understand why they left this out. As it is it's is utterly useless for me.

Its to hard to type on. I like the general Idea of it but it does not come though.
