MyTouchKeys brings tactile feedback to the iPhone’s keyboard

Here’s a nifty—and better, cheap—solution for all you folks out there who feel that the iPhone’s virtual keyboard lacks tactile feedback. MyTouchKeys is taking the screen protector film we all know and love and adding small “bubbles”cut-outs over where each key on the iPhone’s keyboard falls. That way, you get the feeling of depressing a button when you tap the keyboard.

A cool idea, to be sure, but I can foresee some issues with this solution. Like, what about all those times you aren’t using the iPhone’s keyboard? Wouldn’t those bubbles cut-outs get in the way when you’re just pinching and scrolling? What about when you want to use the keyboard in landscape mode?

Then again, since it only costs $8, it’s not exactly a huge investment. Plus, right now, there’s a buy one, get one free deal on, so technically you’re only paying $4 each—not sure why you’d need two, but hey, you can go halvsies with your buddy.
