I was using the Diamond Keyboard for awhile and really loved it. But after awhile I noticed that the hardware keyboard was unresponsive (slow, resulting in lots of typos) with the Diamond keyboard installed.
So I tried the Touch keyboard and it kept popping up some autocomplete box while I was trying to use the hardware keyboard. I couldn't get my hardware keyboard to work at all with that one running.
Does anyone have a recommendation of a Touch/Diamond-style keyboard that works well on the Mogul? I tried PocketCM for awhile but found that the keys were still too small for me.

Have you tried SPB Full Screen Keyboard?
Yes, it was my least favorite. If only the Diamond keyboard didn't mess up the hardware keyboard it would be perfect.

You can still use the Touch Keyboard just remove auto complete from the Input -- Word Completion settings on your phone.
This explains why my keyboard went south...Any fixes...besides hard reset?

ditto! my keyboard has been totally screwed lately. i have been using the Diamond ITE EzInput keyboard that comes with Titan Reloaded 1.3.4 for almost 3 months and I have noticed my actual hardware keyboard just seemed to totally crap out. Letters would be completely missed while typing, or they would come up 2-3 times. this might explain everything. i really love that on screen keyboard but it makes the hardware one unbearable. it's time to re-flash without that keyboard and see if it helps!
i have also noticed a major memory leak that i haven't been able to track down. maybe it's related.

I have not tried this out yet but you might want to try.
CAB version on that link.
An oem is in ppckitchen oem downloads for the kitchen.
edit: works nice
My hardware keyboard is back to normal since flashing to a light rom. I never would have thought that software could have caused those problems!
Thanks for the link to finger keyboard. Looks nice, I'll give it a try.

Hello,
I do write many many on phone, but don't want use qwerty keyboard. So, I will use numeric keyboard. Is it suitable for someone who writes much?
Thanks for any answer,
RA
I mostly use the numeric (for SMS etc) and I don't have any problems until now. However if you dont need the keyboard why dont you look for another (maybe smaller) phone?

Thats the problem...HTC stop produce smartphones with numeric keyboards and NON-touch screen. That's a pity. There is only S740 and HTC Snap. I don't know why the go like this. Writing with numeric keypad with T9 is 1. Quicker 2. More comfortable (I can use only one hand). That's a pity...
RA
Well, you can write pretty easily with the numerical. At least I don't have a problem. When I dont have time (or a second hand available) I always use the numerical.
The only thing I dont know is its quality. I have the phone for about 3 months now, so it's too early to tell you if any problems with the keys arise.
The Keypad is not very robust... it squaks and requires really hard presses as the phone gets older..
What i don't like about the numeric keypad is it's surface, which does not differ at all underneath the "joystick". That forces you to look at your fingers while writing (or am I too unsensitive), cause you can't determine if your fingers are on the key or between two keys (you really don't feel a difference at all, except that it gives "double haptic feedback" when you have pressed and when its too late cause then you already made two instead of one input ) if you don't ALWAYS LOOK AT THE NUMERIC KEYPAD.
Perhaps I just need some more excercise to intuitively press the keys correctly without looking (which was no problem btw with other phones that have little bars on the keys or a space between the keys).
I like the haptic feedback btw. If you press a key correctly, it nicely snaps.
Thanks to all!
I want to thank you all for answers. It was very important for me!

yes !! type seams heavy . like htc tytn2 official rom . like htc diamond offial rom !! i worked with those .
My main problem is that the two keys for the calls are way way too small. OK they are somewhat higher but they are small. And that wouldnt be a big problem if you use a handsfree, but one of them is used for locking the keyboard and is annoying at times (I have to use the 2-key combo to lock the keys)
Did you try Danny Baumann's Automac Keylock? It's the best way for locking keyboard
Best greetings,

I have problem with my x10 mini pro physical keyboard. It's simply does not work.
The problem started after flashing with CynaogenMOD 3.2 and then 3.2.1. Well it have been working for couple of days, but some day just stopped.
I did flash with se generic rom, and it didn't help at all.
I tried with IridiumRom with no help..
Get back Cynaogen again tried to mess with keyboad settings also without the result.
Keyboard works only when its half opened, also the screen orientation is changed then. So i guess i could be some hardware issue with the switcher which tells if keyboard is opened or closed. Anyway phone is new like 10 days. So i dont think that it would have any physical damage.
I also tried to install some DualTouch from forum before i noticed that its for X10 not mini
I'm about to get the phone on warranty but i wish to fix it by myself because i like to know what happend.
Did anyone has same problem?
I have got exactly the same problem as this post about my x10 mini pro's keyboard functionality. Anyone know what happens to it?
I have updated firmware by SEUS to v2.1 update 1. But nothing solved.
Hardware issue maybe? _ Not maybe... most likely.
There is keyboard setting. Try it.

Hmms, I downgraded it to v1.6 for checking. When fully slide out, my hardware keyboard is back to response again (can input by any key). But backlight still turn off in the dark and home screen does not rotate to lanscape. It does only when keyboard is partially slide out.
Maybe as ruifung reply is correct, hardware issue. Some sensor may have problem.
Thank you for all replies.

Hey guys,
Basically I just need a keyboard that is going to work effectively for me. I have tried a fee like swift key x for tablet but its auto correct is terrible IMO and I think it misses letters I am typing when my sped gets up. The go keyboard I also tried but its format doesn't like my thumbs or fingers. At the moment I am using the default android keyboard and it works great but slows down and freezes up while doing urls, Facebook and a little bit while typing this. It may be because i run in eco power mode most of the time, but even when i do try in balanced i tend to still notice it a bit. In Polaris it works great though. So what keyboard should I be getting? Paid or not.
Thanks,
Thumb Keyboard is working great for me.
Hi,
First time posting but I've been following stock and custom rom threads since the prime came out.
I installed several onscreen keyboards cause I didn't really like to use the dock (The caps lock key takes a few seconds to turn on when I press it). I tried several apps including thumb keyboard, swype, hacker's, slideIT and all of them seem to lag. As is when I type "THIS" too fast it register all of the keys (I see them light up) but it only produces "TIS" or "TS" or "HIS."
I browsed through the forums and have turned off the autocorrect and word completion on "language and settings" on stock and also the settings of each of the keyboard apps and I still get the same. I've also used apps to clear the cache to see if it makes a difference but have had no success. The android stock keyboard seems to be the fastest which is weird. I just tested the new CM10 with JB and the lagginess is worst on the stock keyboard. :crying:
This is really annoying cause after using wookie's and CM roms my prime seems to be alive again and I really want to like it . I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same.
I'm really looking for advice and not so much for "go get the Ipad if you complain so much" or "just use the dock." As stated before I have problems with my caps lock key.
Thanks!!

As the title suggests, typing is very difficult on my Rezound. It has been since I first got it. As I try and type, my key presses take a long time to register. This happens to me regardless of rom or keyboard. Does anyone else have this problem and know of a fix? Thanks.
Hmmm... I have heard of this, but mostly on custom ROMs using Swype, the fix was to enable Force GPU rendering in the Settings-Developer options section. If it is enabled already, try disabling it.
Other than that, does everything else that uses the touchscreen work fine? Have you done a factory reset?
I have always used the SwiftKey keyboard to type. At the moment I am using the Adrenaline 2.0 Rom and in Landscape mode there is significantly more lag vs portrait mode. I'm flashing an Rage 1.6 atm. Hopefully that will change it.
Or maybe I just text way too fast.. lol
Thanks for the response. I'm not a big fan of Swype. I am currently using SwiftKey but I have tried many different keyboards. I never type in landscape but I just tried typing in landscape and am getting the same issues with "sticky" keys. I've tried enabling gpu rendering for a week, and then disabling it for a week and have the issue regardless.
