I have tried thick buttons keyboard & swype keyboard... these aren't great in landscape mode, which is how I hold this giant but awesome device... is there a keyboard that has swype keyboards size but doesn't do swype prediction and lets u type normally out there?? I really like this device but being unable to type at speed is making me seriously think about getting a qwerty device
Try "thumb keybord" you can by using the standart layout enlarge the keyboard in parametrizes them with " heigt keybord " and adapt it has your big righ finger as mine
I me excues for my English I am just French
I tried lots of different keyboards, but I found ultra keyboard to be the best, lots of customizations etc

Atm im using Swype beta keyboard. But im keen to hear other options what do people prefer.
Free or paid aps. Lets get a list going here.
list so far
* Better keyboard 8
* Skype Beta
* Stock
* Gingerbread Keyboard
* Thumb keyboard
* Smart Keyboard Pro
I use Better Keyboard 8
Using stock one atm (it works pretty darn well imho)
Might try the gingerbread keyboard which should be hanging around on xda here somewhere. (It's been great on my samsung galaxy spica)
Thumb keyboard looks nice too for thumb typing in landscape
One thing i'm missing in quite a few keyboards is arrows to go back a few letters.
Thumb keyboard, it have almost everything, including the arrow keys
Thumb keyboard : letters and numbers are shown on the same keyboard
I am using smart keyboard on my 70 . Its looking great on portrait and landscape .. Has a good support for languages that i need . I just remove few features from settings like sounds haptic feedback and few others to become as responsive as the normal keyboard ... Has not split keyboard support so may not be the best option for 101 .
I tried 6 or 7, and for me Smart Keyboard Pro is the best, especially after a bit of configuration.
I use Hacker's Keyboard at the moment. It has all the extra things like Escape which are useful for me in terminals, etc.
swype,
I liked slideit more but was having problems with the latest version.
Thumb keyboard on 101.
I use "Any Soft Keyboard".
I need a 3 language full support, and it do this well.
Thumb keyboard..
the best keyboard i've used..
I use slideit, but it is not as good as Swype.
Can you tell me how to get swype to work again with Swype 3.0?
I always get the message This version of swype has an invalid license and will operate with limited functionality. This is strange because you would think that an tablet version would work on a tablet as my Archos 43IT

I use swiftkey beta keyboard. pretty good with thumb mode landscape - two little 1/2 keyboards on the edges and number pad in middle.
Absolutely no competition here ,
+1 Thumb Keyboard ........ Head and shoulders above. 101it
SlideIt keyboard for me. I couldn't find Swype when I was looking, but with the new version of Slideit, you can adjust the size in landscape, so it works perfect.
Unfortunately I don't have access to the swift key beta VIP and thus I am stuck with the stock keyboard. Are there currently any alternatives to the stock keyboard?
Thumb board is the way to go

+1 for Thumb Keyboard. Quick buttons for the one-handed, normal qwerty, and split layouts are awesome.
Hacker's Keyboard is the way to go. Especially if you work with ssh sessions.
+1 for Thumb Keyboard! It works so well for me and you can change the layout to suit your own needs. If I remember right it isn't free but is well worth the money.

Addicted to swype on my phone and thumb keyboard on my tablet.
In landscape, the swype strokes are just too long to be practical for me. Thumb is very fast and convenient while holding the tablet with two hands.
In landscape mode, contract the swype keyboard size and then move it to either the right or left edge, then you can swype just as you would on your cell!
Hi Guys.
Does anyone know where to get a keyboard that supports croatian characters?

I like swype on my phone, and used it on my 10.1 for a while. One thing I missed on it with a tablet was the precision of a regular keyboard. I've been trying thumb keyboard for the last couple of day, and I'm liking it a lot. Feels like I can write with some speed and precision.
Btw, this is pretty good Thumb keyboard practice.
I love this community !!! I wasn't looking for a new keyboard but I'm glad I read this post. I'll add that SlideIt is a good alternative Dvorak on android

+1 for "tablet Keyboard free" not sure why but I keep going to it as my default (currently have FlexT9 Keyboard, GO Keyboard, samsung keypad, swiftkeytablet xbeta, swiftkey, and thumb keyboard).
tablet keyboard has an amazing layout, the keys are perfectly spaced for me and is the easiest for me to use, huge downside is that it doesnt have predictive text or spell check. If swiftkey could use their layout it would be perfect. Swiftkey is my default on my Tbolt, but the tablet version sucks, the keys are spaced weird and you cant reach the numbers in the middle so I dont use it as much.
So I came from the Motorola Atrix, and I have to admit, the Multi Touch Keyboard on that was great. What keyboards are you using? The Android Keyboard seems too small and the Samsung Keyboard has no setting to stop vibrating.
Any way to port the Multi Touch Keyboard from Motorola devices?
I'm currently using the swype beta keyboard http://beta.swype.com/

I use Thumb Keyboard. I think it was mainly designed for tablets but you can customize it like crazy from font size to height. Use it for my SG2 and Xoom tablet. Best one in my opinion.

I really like this one. I was able to customize it pretty close to what the Mutli Touch Keyboard was like on the Motorola Atrix. I changed the height of the keys to 115% and it has been working pretty well for me. Not a lot of typos anymore. Thanks!
Using swype. Tried it a while ago on my xoom and hated it but since it came preinstalled on this I gave it another shot and have fallen in love!
Created a thread a short time back and myself along with many others seem to really like Smart Keyboard Pro. I was having a really tough time with keyboard accuracy and this program has a calibration tool to tweak it. Worked out great as I was on the verge of returning the phone...

I've tried a bunch of keyboards and this one is by far my favorite.
Just tried out Smart Keyboard (trial for now) and like it. I'm coming from a BlackBerry and am used to holding down a button for a capital letter... is there any Android keyboard that would allow a long press for caps?
AI Type is by far the best tap-style on the market.
Try Go keyboard, lots of setting, themes, swipe and in HD quality.

I have problems writing text messages on my Legend (lots of mistypes). Of course main reason is small screen. Does anyone have suggestion which keyboard app is best for HTC legend?
Thanks in advance.
Swype. It's like autocorrect in a keyboard. Although I think it's only a closed-beta at the moment, so apply on their website!
Next up, I like HTC_IME for its customization and well-developed dictionary. You could type the worst misspelling ever and it will find it and correct it. It's somewhere around XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868131
And then lastly, I like the stock Gingerbread keyboard found in CM7, or another 2.3 ROM. If you don't have it, (like Sense too much?), download a similar one from the Market, such as Perfect Keyboard Free or Gingerbread Keyboard.
Thanks for reply. I have been using Smart Keyboard, but I will try Swype.
I'll stick with SwiftKey X, because of the Good dictionary, prediction and learning sentences you type. Sometimes I get a whole bunch of words out by pressing space only!

I decreased the hight of the keys to see some more of the screen while typing. IF you used swiftkey for a while the autocorrection saves an huge amount of time.
Additional swiftkey has a funktion to detect where you hit the screen when you want to type a letter. This can increase your typing-speed too. See here w*w.swiftkey.net/swiftkey-x-update-brings-blog-learning-heatmaps-and-more
I use SlideIT keyboard on my Legend, got it when Google had the 0.10 cent apps. Great keyboard.
Hey there guys, I have been on the hunt for the Best Android Keyboad, and I wanted to see what everyone here was using?? I have tried stock, predictive, and the slide type, (I have not had the chance to play with any of the other 3rd party keyboards, with all sorts of different technology's.
So, I was wondering if some of you fellow xda-ers wanted to weight in on this, and help guide me on my adventure??
Thanks in advance :cool

swype for normal language but my most preferred is hackers keyboard. latter has a full keyboard like on pc when in landscape mode. pretty awesome on big screens like galaxy note. also almost every keyboard has the stupid white text entry over the entire remaining screen where there is not the keyboard, which hides my chat windows away and makes landscape a pain. hackers keyboard does not do such. you have keyboard and chatlog.
I like Android 4.2's stock keyboard. It has everything you need. Predictive text, spell-checking, gesture typing, multiple finger gesture typing. I use English Azerty, and it is just great for me!
Swype, until I get 4.2

Swype, although the 4.2 keyboard's implementation of this looks nice. I also like Hacker's Keyboard on my tablet which is just a PC looking keyboard layout. If they could implement a Swype functionality with it then it would be my favorite.
Swiftkey 3 is my Favourite.
Simply because
1)It is more intuitive than the rest, thus producing more CORRECT Auto Correction
2)It learns your way of typing and in real time monitors all that you type and maintains your individual statistics
3)It individually Learns from your fb,sms,email and twitter threads.
4)It also provides a good number of visual customization options
Thus overall it proves to be the best package

Thanx guys for the input, and all the great info I find ShayonX, IMO, as to swiftkey 3, and as far as "prediction boards", go I think there is no better. I was actually going to go with swiftkey 3, but I just found it was lacking on skins, and customization. I like to be able 2 change the size, and width of my characters, (due to wide fingers), and skins are a great Addition
I tried Swift key 3, touchpal keyboard, go keyboard, and perfect keyboard, and ended up going with "perfect keyboard, bcuz the customization is very deatailed. I also tried swype style keyboard, but I found predictive to be the style for me.
I am running the Moto Phonton, so I won't be getting the 4.0 or 4.2 update, so is there anything else out there to look @??
