Has anyone tried the BlackBerry Keyboard on their Android?

I noticed in Google Play that you can get this added to a non-BB phone. I'm planning on getting the S8 and wondering how this would work on it. Anyone tried it? Liked it? Hated it? Thanks!

I have the keyboard case and its amazing.

Thank you for your post! I'd like to know how it works, as well! Did you try it for the S8?1

Yes, I have the S8. My last phone was the priv. The only downside is that its not back-lit, but its also not powered so no complaints. And you'll know the keys soon enough. Also, with the back cover, the fingerprint reader is very easy to find.

Thank you so much for those details! Sounds like a great addition to a smartphone! I still miss my physical keyboard.

No, not a physical keyboard but the swipe-up virtual keyboard that started with the Z10 and subsequent phones.

This is referring to the app you can get in Google Play.

My dreams came out in writing form, it seems. BB's virtual keyboard is also really good!

I use it and it works great. I had to watch YouTube to see how to install it. If you have ever used a BlackBerry VKB, it is the same.
