Wurstfinger - The Keyboard for Fat Fingers Tired of typos? Wurstfinger is a privacy-conscious keyboard with large keys and swipe gestures. Based on the proven MessagEase layout, it replaces the cramped QWERTY grid with a 3x3 layout optimized for thumb typing. Unlike mainstream keyboards, Wurstfinger doesn't rely on invasive word prediction - instead, it achieves accuracy through ergonomic design. Large, well-spaced keys mean fewer missed taps, and the gesture system lets you access all characters without hunting for tiny buttons. FEATURES: • Large 3x3 Key Grid - Optimized for thumbs, not precision pointers • Swipe Gestures - Access 8 additional characters per key by swiping • 26 Keyboard Layouts - Arabic, Croatian, English, Estonian-Finnish, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese (Hiragana), Japanese (Katakana), Korean, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Spanish-Catalan, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Ukrainian, Urdu, and Vietnamese (with Telex input) • Compose Rules - Create accents through combinations (e.g. ' + a = á) • Circular Gestures - Draw a circle for uppercase letters • Cursor Control - Drag on the space bar to move the cursor, drag on the delete key to erase continuously • Haptic Feedback - Customizable vibration intensity • Fully Adjustable - Scale keyboard size to your preference PRIVACY FIRST: • No data collection • No network access • No word prediction tracking • All processing happens locally on your device Wurstfinger requires training - expect a few days to build muscle memory. But once you've crossed that threshold, you'll never want to go back to a standard keyboard. The gestures become second nature, and you'll type faster and with fewer errors than ever before. Your fingers will thank you!
