Fingers-on: Snapkeys Q4 is a QWERTY keyboard with only 4 buttons Nov 21st 2013, 17:09, by Evan Dashevsky I was embarrassingly late to discover SwiftKey, the beautiful and highly functional keyboard for Android. I swore to myself that never again would I be late to discover the vanguard of Android keyboard apps! That's why I was interested to get my hands (or rather, fingertips) on the new Q4 keyboard app, which boldly promises that it can improve the virtual typing experience by distilling the QWERTY keyboard down to just four keys.
