Muscle Memory
Automated action patterns formed by users through repeated operation; in interaction design it refers to operating habits that can be completed without drawing on attention. New device forms require users to rebuild this repertoire of actions.

Physical keys provide a definite actuation travel and tactile feedback, enabling users to touch-type by muscle memory and form a "think—type—output" loop without visual confirmation.
The first threshold for a new-form-factor device is habit: users need to rebuild muscle memory, and some awkwardness in daily operation is unavoidable.
Muscle memory refers to the automated action patterns users form through repeated operation, such as swipe-to-go-back and multitasking-switch gestures on a slab phone.
The rebuilding cycle for muscle memory is usually measured in days to weeks.
