The problem I think is the white buttons on light-grey background. When typing, you're aiming for the whole button and not just the letter. So if the button is feint and hard to see, it feels like it takes more effort.

It's made up of grey and white. This does not provide adequate visual contrast to be able to type as quickly as I can on other devices. I feel a slight mental pause as I have to expend slightly more effort to distinguish the similarly coloured elements in the keyboard.
