my touchstream proves you wrong. ha! i just typed that without looking at the screen or my keyboard. trust me, once you get used to a way of doing things, doing it differently is what messes you up. it has nothing to do with tactile feedback. me, i'm used to the bumps on my home row and an exact positioning of my hands. plus with the ability to use this flat keyless surface as a mouse as well.... my hands rarely leave that position. of course, it would be easy to put them back to the way they should be as placing all five fingers on the surface does nothing, and allows you to search for your home row in the dark. it's easy to relax with a touchstream... i tend to have it on my lap when i'm using it, leaning back in my chair.
i cant type without it anymore... keyboards with keys confuse the hell out of my hands for a while whenever i have to use one. i think you should take a peek at fingerworks.com and see a flash demo to see what i'm talking about.
