Enter number
Press right shift+Units
Select unit type
Press unit
Press left shift+new unit

I count 11 keystrokes on the Prime versus 6 on the 50g counting touching the screen as one keystroke (which isn’t entirely fair) and of course the comparison is much worse if you then want to convert to another unit.

True (although I make that 7, not 6), but you also need to add a few more if your chosen unit type and unit aren't in the first "page" displayed, which case the Prime handles a little better, with the larger screen estate available.

I'm also perhaps not familiar enough with 50g units to be used to it; I don't find the Prime method slower, cognitively or physically.

Nice to have the Units48 app though, so you have the best of both worlds.
