The key depressed state needs better simulated tactile response. It should be darker, deeper, stronger. Right now the visual contrast is not enough, and the popup is often too brief and blocked by the finger.

But if it's depressed, Dietrich, it obviously has SOME soul. ;) It knows it's unloveable, you don't have to tell it. Flagging Casey on keyboard visual design and linking to the meta bug.

Omega and Carol, you cleared your ni? but did not respond. You are still noted as being designers attached to keyboard. If you cannot address this issue please flag whomever has taken over this work. Thank you!

Hi Dietrich, Can you provide me a screenshot that letting us know how it look like on your screen for the depressed state? For me, I think right now the the key depressed state is pretty clear. As long as people can tell the keyboard is interacting with them, the visual does its work. It doesn't always need a darker or deeper color to show the state. For example, the iOS keyboard dosen't even have a state color to show the status. they only have the key preview on "click".

Hi Stephany, Sorry for clearing ni? without leaving comments. I did have some further actions. For example: "Popup is often too brief" is a useful finding, so I would add some timeout in 2.1 design.
Resolving. This was filed 6 months ago, and new keyboard visual design has improved the contrast between the states since then! Omega, thanks for noting the popup timing. It is still a problem. The bug for it is bug 957031.
