"Keybee is simple and clear because all the letters are always available (no hidden keys) and they all have the same size"
Checking my iPhone and my wife's Android phone, as well as an old Windows Phone I have in a drawer, all of the letters of the alphabet are available on the default board, none are hidden, and they are all the same size as each other on each respective keyboard.
At first I thought you might be talking about non-English keyboards, but looking at the Keybee board screenshots it's the same standard 26 English letters.
So, from that particular standpoint, how does Keybee offer a more complete set of English language characters than a device's default keyboard? This feels like either a bad translation or dubious marketing.
That does absolutely nothing to answer my question. You show a QWERTY layout in the center, from a Windows Phone device, with every letter key the same size relative to one another as I said above.
Maybe I'm just not smart enough to see the difference from a slide with screenshots and captions that make dubious statements, but I'd appreciate if you would explain anyway.
Of course. There is no difference between qwerty and keybee in term of instantness. The difference is between other alternative layouts which claims to be quicker even if they do not shows all the letters (lack of instantness).
Qwerty as Keybee shows all the letters at the same size. But Keybee can show them two times bigger than qwerty thanks to the hex structure.

I'm confused by this statement:

I think that statement was referencing other alternative keyboards, not standard qwerty
Yeah, I'm starting to think it's a language barrier issue and nothing deceptive per se.

That's still a non-answer. I'm going to chalk it up to a language barrier as I don't want to assume bad faith on your part.
I already answered at your question. There's no difference between qwerty and keybee for your specific argument. Also the other user answered to you.
I'm not sure how this answers GP's question.
