I use the swiftkey keyboard, and it constantly has me missing letters. I originally got it for on phone predictiveness, but now Microsoft bought it and IDK if it's even good anymore, I'm just used to the layout. But I almost never accidentally start typing the wrong letter on a physical keyboard but it's almost daily on the touch screen ones. I'm constantly missing, hitting delete somehow, having it insert a period and capitalize a word. It's freaking annoying. The issue isn't haptics, it's that there's no bump on the home keys to position my thumb or fingers, there's no way for me to "count" by feel x keys over, and there's no where to rest my hands or fingers on the keys without pressing them.
