This makes me wonder how many fingers you type with, and how many words per minute.

Users can certainly adapt to a virtual keyboard, but it's silly to suggest that it is not a loss of usability. That's exactly what it is, even if a perfectly acceptable or insignificant one.

A competent typist works probably half by tactile feedback, and a virtual keyboard provides none.
