So there are a lot of keyboard out there on the market, lot of popular ones and not so popular ones. I was just curious about what the overall "feeling" was about the keyboard on your Galaxy Nexus. Right now I am rocking Swiftkey X with the Neon skin which looks awesome with ICS. Now that Swype is working on ICS I have been switching back and forth as well but still continuing to find myself go back to Swiftkey X. So whats your best keyboard that you constantly go back to using?

In the past I've tried pretty much every keyboard and nothing can compete with SwiftKey X.

i am on swype beta now....i really liked AI type, but as soon as the official swype dropped, i was all over it. i love having it back. missed it on my thunderbolt, but having it on the phone again is great.

Rockin stock. Landscape makes the stock keyboard shine, I'm almost faster with it than I am an actual keyboard.

I agree if I had to pick a close second it would actually be the stock keyboard, it is MUCH improved from prior android OS keyboards.

I've tried a bunch of keyboards, including stock, Swype, FlexT9, Swiftkey, and Thumb Keyboard. I prefer Thumb Keyboard overall as I like using the split keyboard in landscape mode and the ability to customize the secondary characters on the keys.

FlexT9 by Nuance. A better Swype than Swype.

Swype. Stock's great, though. Very easy to two-handed type on in landscape. Sometimes, it lags behind what I'm typing, though. Still catches what I've typed, but it moves slow.
