    Abstract: A method for managing a virtual keyboard is disclosed and may include detecting whether a button is pressed and determining a contact patch size associated with a user digit pressing the button. The method may also include determining a button size associated with the button, determining whether the button size satisfies an optimized condition, querying a user to re-size the button when the button size does not satisfy the optimized condition, and automatically re-sizing the button so the button size satisfies the optimized condition. Further, the method may include querying a user to re-size all buttons and automatically re-sizing all buttons based on an optimized button size.
