Preferred keyboard

[johnnyshinta]

I've been using swiftkey for the longest time but recently switched to google. Swiftkey has a habit of staying on my screen after I've left the app that had it up. I have to hit the back button to clear it. Google seems to work smoothly and has good auto correct which is all I need. Don't use predictions.

What do you use?

Swiftkey, by far. I've tried out the LG keyboard and the Google one, but they both seemed to be lacking. I do agree about the keyboard sticking up, but its for maybe a second or two after closing a messaging app.

I just downloaded Kii keyboard. So far very nice, lots of customization. The best is being able to add number row on top. I have tried Swiftkey, google, and the LG keyboards. I like this best.

I have to actually close it out with the back button

For me, it is also Kii. The top number row is great and it's the only keyboard where I can enter my own shortcuts for anything. For example, when I type my company's initials I have it set to show my company's name, address, phone numbers, and some other pertinent info.

Kii sounds kinda neat. I'm going to download and give it a whirl.

I've been using Kii for the past 6 months after trying quite a few different keyboards (including SwiftKey and Google).

This is the one I use. Lots of ways to customize.

I don't really need customization, I just need my keyboard to work so I stick with Google. Smooth, fast, lag-free and gets updated.
I tried Swiftkey, It works great but sometimes, it lags to show up or disappear.

For those with Google keyboard what do you find to be the best setting for auto correct? Modest, aggressive, or most aggressive?

I agree. I really like Google keyboard and have stuck with it.

I also use the modest setting so it will accept my slang lol

I want to like Google keyboard but I find the keys or space bar is too small because everytime I would try to hit the space bar I would accidentally press b instead of space it was annoying

Q10, HTC One, Nexus 7, Moto X

When swiping it auto spaces so I rarely use the space bar

The Thumb Keyboard that I posted above allows you increase the size of the keyboard and/or space bar for those of us with big thumbs.

I think that paid premium versions of keyboards, that you're going to keep no matter what android phone you're using, is a good investment. Just bought Kii premium in Google Play Store for $4.31. You can use paid or free skins with Kii. I don't think that SwiftKey or Thumb keyboards accept differents skins. Anyway SwiftKey and Thumb are good apps , I got both too.

SwiftKey made my life easier. Luv it.

I've been a Swiftkey guy for the last year but just switched to Smart Keyboard, to gain a user dictionary plus user definable autotext macros.

It will take some getting used to, as it would be for any keyboard change (especially punctuation) but think it will be worth it. As a side bonus to me, Swiftkey always had a problem with Co-Pilot GPS and I would always have to switch to stock keyboard while using that app, but I no longer need to do this.

Kii here as well, can't understand why more keyboards don't have the numbers row.
