  • Japanese is kind of similar. Although usually native speakers do not use an English keyboard. They use this:

    Since Japanese has 5 vowels, each key here represents a consonant and can actually enter any of the 5 vowels by either tapping on it or flicking up, down, left or right on it. Once you’ve built the word you’re trying to write, you can tap on the auto suggested kanji or katakana or leave it as is in hiragana.

    The exception is the bottom left and right keys which are for alternative consonants (I’m not sure the actual linguistic term) and punctuation which have fewer options but work similarly.

    So if I’m writing the character for home, I’d flick the button toy he right of the emoji button left for い and then right for え. Once I have both hiragana characters, I just need to tap on the 家 character that appears above the keyboard.


  • The Switch is a lot smaller and pocketable than those you described and is far better as a party game machine. It’s also much more widely available. I don’t think it’s so clear cut especially if people are getting it for their exclusives. Yea, you can emulate it but there’s a bit of work to get the ROMs and BIOS that the average lay person isn’t really comfortable with doing.
