Typing on software keyboard is something that I don’t enjoy beyond a point. I use it just to type out short messages or quickly reply to any email. But when I have to write a long article, I prefer to use a wireless keyboard. And when I want to go even further and make typing more smooth-sailing, I customize typing on the Bluetooth keyboard via my iOS device.
