With so many keyboard threads going, lets get a poll and see what everyone is using and why.

List your device too.

I am currently running stock on my Dinc

I prefer the Stock Android keyboard.. Running my Captivate with froyo leak and stock android keyboard added.

Cheers,
Charlie

Smart, on my orig. Droid. I never open the hardware board now, ever.

**TootNBerry** · 10-06-2010, 01:59 PM

Droid X

**Bujin#IM** · 10-06-2010, 02:06 PM

I've tried almost all of them, and always come back to Stock.

**JD76ers** · 10-06-2010, 02:09 PM

Swype (I found the apk)
I am on the beta list.
This app is the best.

PreInstalled Swype on my Captivate

I actually have been using Swype, Better Keyboard, SwiftKey, and my Stock keyboards depending on what I am doing.

At this point, after spend ing at least a week with each I am the fastest on the SwiftKey keyboard. As it has learned how I talk, the word suggestions have become amazingly good. I had no idea I was so predictable.

I have been testing them all out so much for the Keyboards section of the Getting Started with Android - Tips and Tricks.

I just saw so many threads floating around that maybe they could all come here to discuss options and comparisons....

been using better keyboard with pretty good results.. i bought it when i got the Hero before, but i returned the hero cause i hated typign on the screen. the Epic i have now is night and day as far as touch screen typing goes

I have Swiftkey and Swype on my Incredible but I always seem to be using Swype. Wish Swype had Swiftkey's learning/prediction ability though.

I have the Freedom Pro.... it really is pretty good!

I'm a keyboard junkie. Been trying to find "the" one that will always work best. Voted for Swype since that's the one I keep going back to most often.

Then again, if the Droid Pro is all that, the keyboard issue may be moot for me in the near future.

**racinwarrior** · 10-07-2010, 07:33 AM

im running a modded HTC keyboard on my X

**kenyee** · 10-07-2010, 08:01 AM

No ShapeWriter?

**jnadelman** · 10-07-2010, 08:07 AM

Had Swift, like it, demo expired. Wasn't sold on it so I didn't purchase.
Dying to try swype, but can't get it.
Have the SlideIT demo now and I love it. Don't know when it will expire. Probably still won't buy it until I try swype, but who knows when that will be.

EVO.

I was using Swype on my DX for a while, but I started getting mad at how it decided to add words to my dictionary. I use SwiftKey now. If somehow they could merge together in to one magical keyboard though...

If I am driving, I use Vlingo. MA just passed anti-driving and texting laws, and voice dictation doesn't count as texting.
