Hexagonal Keyboard

Another keyboard contender is taking aim at the touchscreen typing experience. Meet Wrio, a keyboard-in-development that changes the shape of the keys from squares to honeycomb-style hexagons in a bid to make keys a more finger-friendly shape and squeeze out typos.

The bootstrapping Swiss duo behind the concept have just kicked off a crowdfunding campaign, on Kickstarter, aiming to raise just over $10,000 to finish dev work for what will initially be an Android keyboard. If that flies, their next move would be to address iOS.

At this stage they have an alpha release but need the crowdfunding to finance additional features such as a dynamic layout for correcting imprecise typing behavior and auto completion with support for multiple languages.
