Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Tap Strap 2 - Advanced Wearable Keyboard, Mouse & Air Gesture Controller (Large) by Leo Torres

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well designed product but hard to master keystrokes

I've been using this product for about a week. Learning this was not an easy start. Maybe I'm too old (I'm over 60), but learning fingerstrokes from simple ones seems very difficult to me. Pressing two or three fingers at the same time and NOT pressing the rest is very difficult for me. The TapGenius app for iOS has tutorials, but I keep forgetting keystrokes long before I've learned the whole alphabet. I connected to my iPhone via BlueTooth. OK, but the iPhone doesn't have a cursor, so I don't know how to use mouse gestures. Pairing with a Windows 10 PC was successful, but I seem to be having trouble switching between TAPkeyboard and desktop keyboards, or at least disabling TAP so I can type on the keyboard using QWERTY. There has to be a way, but learning hasn't yet shown an efficient way to do it. I didn't give up, but I didn't expect the steep learning curve I've experienced so far. I seem to have figured it out, but I put it off a day and what I've learned is slipping away. Very frustrating as most add-on apps require you to learn the entire alphabet in order to play. Interestingly, others have better acclimatization experiences for TAPping.

Pros
  • Keyboard and mouse combos
Cons
  • Good but not great
