Thank you for visiting our store. We sincerely appreciate your feedback and will do our best to update and improve any areas that may be lacking. QWERTY mini works as a local keyboard. No data is collected. Unlike standard QWERTY (26 keys), QWERTY mini reduces the layout to just 16 keys in 2 rows, keeping typing natural and efficient. Main Features Double tap: easily input the second character of each key. Simultaneous tap: quickly input the first or second character using 4 edge keys. (Example: O + T/G = T, L + T/G = G) Why not standard QWERTY? (26 keys) Designed for typewriters and ten-finger typing, the QWERTY keyboard has too many small keys on smartphones. This causes frequent typos, slower typing speed, and high finger fatigue. QWERTY mini solution (16 keys) Key size increased by 66% (25% wider, 33% taller) Comfortable thumb movement on mobile screens Faster typing with fewer errors Note International patent application (PCT/KR2025/099177), published under WIPO.
