Im having a hard time finding a decent keyboard for the Rezound. Here is the issue, I really don't like the standard HTC keyboard. The buttons are backwards as far as Im concerned.
Problem is when I try a different one, ICS keyboard from the market, swype etc they are way too small because of the Rezound screen. Also when I say too small I mean the width in addition to the height.
Ive seen a few keyboards where you can actually mod the height but not the width, which I honestly dont get. Well my primary problem is hitting the letter next to the one I actually want because the keys aren't wide enough.
Is there any keyboard out there thats basically the standard ASOP keyboard, but the same size as the HTC one, that would be perfect for me. I cant seem to find one.
Swiftkey Beta 3 is free for now. Best keyboard I've used to date.
Try A.I.type keyboard

This is a really good one. Perfect size in my opinion. And it's the best keyboard I've ever used

Here's a link to it: Swiftkey 3 Beta
The link is from Droid-Life in case anyone is worried. I don't know if it is the newest version of the beta, but it's a pretty good build.

If you want swype try these themed beta versions. Scroll down to where it say OLD LINKS: V5 Not for the Galaxy Nexus. I have tried them all and they're sized properly

I quite like GO Keyboard
I seriously need a new keyboard too. I loved swype on the incredible. It was beast mode, I could text and type as fast as typing on my computer. I can't find a decent keyboard on this thing. I can't use swype because it breaks and can't swype no where near as fast as I could on the incredible. I tried swiftkey and didn't really like that either. I currently use the trace on the HTCkeyboard and I can't stand it either. It's no where near as accurate as swype.
Does anyone know of some swypelike keyboards that don't break on the Rezound?

Yeah, I noticed that too but after I did the keyboard calibration, it seems to have fixed it... so far!
I've tried it before (not on this phone though) and it doesn't seem to work as well as swype does.
I figured everyone found out about this 1 right when they got the phone.
are used it for about a day and a half and it is really sucked, I went back to swype.

The HTC Trace doesn't work for the market, search, or the web browser. Does work for emails and messages though. This ticked me off so I went to swype.
Ooh. I like this! can't seem to do "wow" or "cool".
I can't find swype in the market. This is my search results for "swype"

I tried "swype keyboard" too and can't seem to get to it. Was trying from my phone then tried on my laptop and got the above.
You have to get it from their site. http://www.swype.com/
Hm... I prefer the bigger default kb. Is there a way to use swype with a different kb or do you have to use theirs?

Swype is a keyboard replacement, and once you have it installed, it will, as the word implies, replace your keyboard. So, yes, you have to use theirs.
I have been using Swype for over a year; while the first few days took some effort as I got used to it, I find the benefit for the time invested is well worth it. I can "type" out texts much faster than tapping on a tiny keyboard.
I love the mode, it's much better than typing with thumbs, just prefer using the built in trace with the built in kb since it's bigger and I can make the trace line red.
I'll have to see if it's annoying for me to have to turn on swype for browsers and market and also if it's annoying to switch kbs for that or if it's less annoying to just get used to the swype's kb and use it for everything.
The title pretty much sums it up. I went to swype.com, checked the FAQ's, and visited the forums. The closest they get is 1280 x 800 for tablets. We need 1280 x 720.
Bummer...

SWIPE WORKS! The newest beta is amazing!

I'd already done that, but it's a good suggestion. Maybe it'll happen less after I get used to it again. I'd switched to SlideIT and then SwiftKey before returning to Swype just recently.
I haven't had the issue. I have had a few instances of it bouncing around, but it was because I had another finger on the screen, or it was damp/dirty.

I switched to Smart Keyboard Pro the other day and like it better than stock. It has a huge spacebar (maybe the longest of any other keyboard out there (and I've tried them all)
It seems more responsive than stock (I type fast ) and there's tons of skins and adjustments (like key height) which are great...
Smart KB Pro is what I use also.
I have been using it in my last 4 phones. I have tried every KB there is and always keep coming back to SKBP every time.
Hi everybody, TouchType Ltd. have decided to release their latest beta for the ever popular SwiftKey today for free
Seeing as the demand for the beta is hammering their servers, I decided to upload the .apk to my dropbox for everybody to enjoy. Just download and install like you would with any other app
Here's the file: http://db.tt/GHjXdQi7
FYI, this is a FREE, OPEN beta and therefore this is a FREE APP. I understand the rules of xda, and I do not condone or promote pirating in any way!
I got it from them and I really like it so far.

I bought swift key x, for some odd reason i can't get away from the stock android keyboard.
I like it, but think I still prefer Perfect Keyboard. It seems to me the new smart space feature in the Swiftkey is a little too agressive. I sometimes end up getting spaces where I didn't want them.
i guess i'm the only one who thought it's terrible? I tried it to see if its any better than AI Type that I've been using for over a year. I switched back.

Ha ha...I typically have the opposite problem with swiftkey products - try to add 2 spaces after a sentence and end up with a predicted word instead. I always have to turn off "space bar inserts predicted word" because of this, and it kinda hinders the usability of swiftkey.
Made it about 14 hours (8 of which I was sleeping) before going back to swype
SwiftKey works really well for me. Swype is annoying and the samsung keyboard is awful.

I was confused about the question mark too, but today I realized that if you swipe the period key to the left, it automatically uses the other available punctuation depending on how far you swipe. Pretty cool
It took some getting used to, but u love this feature now.

I didn't like that - I also don't know why they swapped the mic button and the number/symbol button. And there's no way I can find to turn off the aggressive parsing of one word/filename into a sentence.
I went back to the original Swiftkey - new is not always better

I had actually purchased this keyboard for a Dell Streak 7 I owned. I sold the Streak and had forgotten about this great keyboard until I was going through my email's and ran across the link / activation from where I had purchased it.
Anyway long story short, the version is now up to 4.5, it's skinnable and has many free skins to choose from. Also hand writing recognition like Samsung's keyboard. You can also set your own landscape / portrait layouts as well.
There is a 15 day free trial to see if it suits you, just thought I might recommend this, my old activation key worked with the newest version, if any of you guys have used it on previous devices your license will transfer fine.
Try it out and leave your comments here.
