What happened to my stock keyboard?

I really don't mind the stock keyboard but I've noticed since the update that the mic. key is no longer there. I use it for texting so if it's gone for good I will not be a happy camper. Anyone else notice this?

Not necessarily a substitute, but another nice alternative is texting someone using the Google Now voice search. I did it yesterday and it works flawlessly. Test "name" "message" and it asked me to send exactly what I said.

Has this happened to anyone else's keyboard since the update?

You must have an option turned off because mine was showing the voice mic where the comma was post update and I had to dig for options to get rid of it as I don't use the voice functions.

Do you happen to recall what you disabled to turn it off?

Settings > Language & Keyboard > Uncheck "Google voice typing"

I believe that is what finally did it for me since I was no longer able to Disable Google Voice in the Apps Menu as I'm thinking it's now integrated with Google Search. I had to find something because having the mic where the comma was supposed to be was driving me insane as I mentioned earlier. Hopefully this setting is unchecked for you and checking gets what you want activated. If it doesn't let me know and I'll dig a bit more.

I had Google search disabled from before the update because I hate the google search bar at the top of the screen. Enabled it, rebooted and it's back. Thanks for the help.
