So i did some research and found a
HTC keyboard with a nublet on d...
Edit:
How is the habit of putting your index fingers on F and J analogous to putting your thumbs on the same keys. Depending on your grip, its not even the same angle.
Why do we use a QWERTY layout on a thumb keyboard to begin with? Because it's what we know. It's a familiar base layout that we've already learned, which means we can reuse our instinctual knowledge of that layout. On a QWERTY based thumb keyboard we're doing exactly that, using that same knowledge in a new way. Part of what we know about about the QWERTY layout is that the F and J keys feel different, and just like our knowledge of of the symbol map this knowledge can be reused in in our new method of typing.

For much the same reason big enter, shift and backspace stops being something you cant reach with your pinkey fingers when your index fingers are at F and J?
Doublewide space noncentered is even simpler, you cant reach that left half with your left thumb.
Its like danes falling over in the winter in norway because they arent used to Ice.
Typing is about typing,design is about avoiding misnormers. My typing skills translate just fine, and my way of designing is rational.
QWERTY translates better than anything we know of. And it has been tested to do so. The more the merrier, my primary concern is full layout QWERTY.
Us knowing QWERTY does not mean nublets also translate to two-thumbs. Im not saying anything about what the nature of nublets do on a two-thumb, just that its relation to a fullsize keyboard isnt proof either way.
And that puts it firmly in the unknown category.
Unless you test it to work, for people who cant otherwise get along fine, it doesnt have any benefit, but it has a known disadvantage.
Im ok with a disadvantage if i know there is an advantage for someone else to be had.
