FITALY is a keyboard layout specifically optimized for stylus or touch-based input. The design places the most common letters closest to the centre to minimize distance travelled while entering a word.
In the first of several keyboards in the system, lowercase letters are arranged in the following pattern:
| z | v | c | h | w | k |
| f | i | t | a | l | y |
| n | e | ||||
| g | d | o | r | s | b |
| q | j | u | m | p | x |
There are uppercase, numeric, and symbol keyboards as well, and various strokes (rather than taps) are used for both shifting case and selecting symbols. For details, see the manufacturer's site (below).
Fitaly was invented and patented by Jean Ichbiah and is commercialized by the company he founded, Textware Solutions.
