Played with it for about 10 min, and I timed myself. 5 minutes to type the above. :P

I think it could be really fun if it learns my patterns and I learn it. I found that turning the speed up helped me get paths better, but as you can see the S was fighting me, and sometimes getting "back" felt tough, but it's the same with a keyboard I am just more used to it.

Dasher is actually pretty easy to use. I installed it on my computer awhile ago but never really got around to using it. It's certainly a lot slower touch typing though.
