Just started using it not bad at all. I just wish it was a cross between this and thumb keyboard. This one feels just a little small in split keyboard mode

The process took less then 2 minutes from registering to downloading - have it now and about to install.

Looks ok.
I think Thumb Keyboard has a lot more functionality (directional keys, readily accessible punctuations, @ symbol, parentheses, .com key with extras [.net, .org, .etc) when longpressed and all other 'tabbed' symbols just require a longpress, too.
Just MHO.

Here are some screen shots just not a big fan of the full screen text input. Would also like split me keyboard in portrait.

Yeah, they definitely need to make the keys a little bigger.

I think it works great!

Hated it, went back to stock. Takes way too much realestate in portrait, my main viewing format.

haha me too... why would you need this keyboard if you are using it in portrait? wouldn't stock work well enough? just wondering.... but the whole full screen force thing is bad, thumb keyboard does it too by default, but you can override it.

Hey I am waiting to have my account admin approved on swiftkeys site, in the mean time could someone post the APK for the keyboard!?!
Pretty plz!

patience grasshopper. they are really fast about it, shouldn't be more than a few minutes. respect developers' wishes. if they wanted it out here they would have posted it here.

Trying it out now, so far I love the look of the app and it has been working great.

It needs some work still, I was on a closed beta (which I think I can admit), and of course, now use the open beta available on the forum.
But despite the issues with sizing and the alternate keys for symbols and stuff, the predictive text is still like the number one need when typing on a tablet, and it is so much more useful than stock. I don't use split mode atm, because of the key sizes, but I'm hoping I'll like that once they get it worked out.

The common theme seems to be the small buttons are an issue. Hopefully they will make th necessary adjustments.

I'm sure they will, it was among the first comments in the closed beta. I'm using standard layout for now.
Also, nobody can deny... SwiftKey's style on the Xoom is freaking awesome.

Best keyboard for Optimums black?

Hello, can any of you tell me the best keyboard for the OB? I am currently using GO keyboard and it is not the best. Thanks in advance!
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

I like Perfect Keyboard because it allows to have a compact keyboard for portrait... a qwerty layout for portrait is IMHO too hard to use without mistakes.
In the other part Perfect Keyboard is rather bad for terminal and bash purpouses because is difficult to write symbols like _ or =
Regards!

the best: swiftkey

Well, I have used both and didn't like them... Any other solutions? The best so far is the GO keyboard that I have used so far, very smooth.

I use Smart Keyboard.

I used SliedIT, but only found a demo and it expired. Didn't want to pay for it.
I am looking for a specific feature in a swipe style keyboard, I need it to automatically recognize two languages. I sometimes write messages in my native language, and sometimes in English. Is this possible? SlideIT had a setting like "secondary dictionary" but it didn't work, or I don't know how to switch between (other then manually from the settings page).

I'm using HTC ime for passwords etc. and swype beta for allday writing

Once discovered that HTC IME has compact keyboard to and is easy to chage between them with left-right swipe... stuck on HTC IME!!!
Regards.

why do you change keyboard for passwords? You can write normally on Swype
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
because in some apps swype is trying to add passwords to the dictionary or replaces the passwords with words from dictionary ^^

The ones you have mentioned have not proven to be a wise choice for me because 1) they are too compact, 2)weak design and 3)do not recognize well other languages such as Portuguese or Spanish, which I normally use alongside with English. The downside of GO keyboard is that sometimes it is slow/annoying to type sometimes. Any other alternatives you might share?

I'm using GO Keyboard. In newest version it has swype, a lot of supported languages, themes and other stuff. I suggest you to try GO.

Acutally, I'm pretty satisfied with the LG stock keyboard. It even automatically changes to the local language when I'm abroad. I've additionally installed Smart keyboard but frankly haven't used it a lot.

Try the "Big Buttons Keyboard". I'm using it for weeks now, and I like it!

What do you use for Landscape keyboard

Using SwiftKey tablet right now. Keys seem only moderately responsive.

Is there a way to use different keyboards for portrait and landscape? If so, how?

Keyboard Manager. Requires root. Compatibility not guaranteed - I haven't tried it with the Nexus yet.

Swype Beta... I just tap instead of swipe.

Thumb Keyboard for me, my favorite.

Anyone getting a random vertical black line flash quickly when using thumb keyboard in landscape? I exchanged my tablet thinking it was a defect with the unit but it might be caused by the keyboard..

What do people suggest as the best keyboard for terminal emulators? I've been using the default Android keyboard, but the lack of TAB, CTRL, etc. get annoying. I was wondering if there is a keyboard suited for this type of text entry.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
Is there a way to default to different keyboards based on the app that you're using at the time?

John
I use FlexT9 by Nuance on both phone and tablet. It is very good and allows input 4 ways. Voice, swipe, type and write.

OMG Hacker's Keyboard is awesome!!!!!
Not only does it give me ctrl, alt, arrow keys, etc., but it makes entering symbols so much easier. Especially for passwords.
Thanks again for the recommendation.

Thumb Keyboard. Customizable sizing makes it worlds better than any other keyboard available.

I like thumb keyboard. Got it when it was the FOD from amazon

Swype.

which keyboard to go with

I'm looking to spend my $25 credit and I'm thinking keyboard.
Opinions on keyboards for the nexus 7?

You'll get so many different answers, try the free versions.
Swiftkey 3 for me though since you ask.
It told me earlier it'd saved me 10,000 keystrokes on my mobile and over 5,000 on nexus already.

Try thumb keyboard. Its great in landscape mode, and you can customize the keyboard as well!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I also suggest SwiftKey 3. One of the advantages for me is that it offers word suggestions and auto-correct in up to 3 languages at the same time. It also has the option for arrow keys at the bottom in the phone version.

I'll cosign Swiftkey. In landscape mode it's almost perfect, and works well enough that I feel natural using it. I still finding it surprising that I lke it so much considering my phone has a physical keyboard and I formerly used Swype as the alternative.

I use perfect keyboard. I love its split keyboard for for when I'm typing in landscape.
I second hackers keyboard for if you want something with the same layout as a real keyboard.

I've used Ultra Keyboard for over a year on my Nook Color and now on the Nexus. It has arrow keys, which I find invaluable.

Not that it helps with your credit, but I recommend Swype. I'm a little biased since I used to work for them, but I think it is the best keyboard input for touch bar none. You can get on the beta by visiting beta.Swype.com... this message was composed using Swype.

Swype beta is free and oh so buttery

Torn between swype and swift key on the nexus 7 myself. I use swype on my galaxy tab 10.1 and love it there but it can't touch the predictive accuracy of swift key. On my HTC One X I use swift key which I'd like to use on my nexus 7 but its buggy in Chrome for some reason. For now I'm sticking to the stock keyboard until I find something else or swift key update resolves the bugs.

I'm a devoted Swype user. Sometimes it acts strangely on webpages though. If that happens I switch to stock until in off that page

I use Thumb Keyboard, I got it when it was the amazon free app of the day, and I really enjoy it. Although it seems to have some issues with Chrome that I'm having trouble figuring out.

Smart Keyboard Pro on Galaxy Gear

After searching for a best keyboard for our Galaxy Gear. I think this is the best keyboard because it has a t9 keyboard. Qwerty is too small for our gear and I cant type fast on that.
T9 keyboard works better than qwerty. Now I can text through my gear using galaxy gear sms fast

Not to take anything away from your suggestion, but I have one of my own to add to the thread. Check out "Black Bolts Keyboard T9 + Pro". It's free and, after minimal testing, seems to work great on the Gear.

Did you change the DPI or text size to anything particular? I like this one but in SMS Gear texting app, you can't see what your inputting. The top is all used up by the keyboard.

Thread cleaned, time to reset in here, and members are reminded that respect in posts/replies is a rule.
be nice, or get out.

I changed nothing. I noticed that too, just haven't looked into adjusting it yet. Let us know if you come up with a good DPI for it.
