How in the world do you manage to pull this off?

I've tried once or twice with Blowtorch. The connection is fine, and if I built enough aliases I imagine I could get past the disadvantage of not using a keyboard, but the keyboard itself takes up half the screen. In the other half of the screen, there is so much text in so little space that just regular playing would be difficult, nevermind the chaos of PK.

The only time I even came close was six years ago with one of those slide phones were you could pop out a physical keyboard from underneath the screen, and even that could only he done with a shifter.
