With the "infinity" screen, the keyboard also flows all the way to the edges, making typing very annoying especially when using those keys near the edges. Also type accuracy is bad too. Anyone else thinks so?

You don't seem to like anything about the S8, surprised you still have one. I have no problems at all with Swype, or Swiftkey for that matter. Keyboard is very easy to change.

Yes, I found the stock keyboard difficult to use too. I struggled with many spelling mistakes, and the autocorrect is not very good. I tried the google keyboard, but didn't have a lot of success with it either. Swiftkey works like a charm for me though.

No issues typing with Gboard for me. The edge doesn't mess with typing as bad as previous devices.

I don't find the keyboard hard to use,at all on the s8. In fact, I love the,tactile feedback. And how everything is layed out so conveniently. Plus, due to Samsung's theming engine, it looks awesome with my phone theme of iron man overall.

Yeah, I'm with diggity here. Default keyboard is a dread for me to use. It becomes worse when I enlarge it so have it at default again. Swiping does work pretty good, probably due to the keys being too close to eachother.
And mind you all, I've used most galaxy models so this is definitely a different keyboard, although I don't have much problems with the edges.

I figure some people can be very negative, but that doesn't mean everything they say is invalid.

I have been using SwiftKey since I first got the S4 back in 2013. I have no issues using this keyboard on the S8 Plus. Landscape and portrait are very comfortable for me.
