Give me back my goddamed physical keyboard

I still remember the extended conversation I had with the cell phone man on the day I realized that time had moved on, and it wasn't even possible for me to buy a third-party phone that still had a keyboard and then hook it up to their network anymore. I was just going to have to poke haplessly at the glass and get letters wrong for the rest of my life.

IT'S MY MONEY, LET ME BUY THE KIND OF PHONE I WANT

This is why I like the audible haptic feedback on a cell phone keyboard that everyone else seems to hate. I gotta know that I pushed the button, otherwise in my mind, I didn't push it. At least when I have a physical keyboard I could feel it.

I tried to enter some text on someone else's phone and it had no haptic feedback, only sound. It was almost impossible to use.

The fact that we literally cannot vote with our money screams monopoly.
