It is noted that in most cases, people use three ways to work with the tablet: placing the tablet on the work surface, and typing with two hands, holding a tablet in one hand and typing with your fingers the other hand, while holding the tablet in both hands and typing with your thumbs on both hands. In this case, the standard touch keyboard optimized for text input only the first two methods. For a comfortable input data to a third method was proposed a new version of the keyboard layout that is optimized for input thumbs. Most of the buttons a keyboard located on the sides. The size of the buttons is configurable to optimize the use of the keyboard for different users.
