Best Android Keyboard?

[anon(9652351)]

Hands down Google Keyboard. The lag I experienced that I thought was caused by Google Keyboard was not. I had to reinstall Textra and all lag is gone now. I've tried Swype, Swiftkey, and a few lesser known keyboards. Google Keyboard blows them away.

Google keyboard has the best auto correct imo. I disable auto replace though on all keyboards. Using stock now for s pen writing.

I agree. I had no idea how good Google's keyboard is, but I've been using my new Nexus 6 (couldn't resist the $399) for 4 days and I have to say this keyboard is awesome. :thumbup:

Tried swiftkey, didn't like it. Google Keyboard on the other hand takes the cake.

I prefer Thumb keyboard. I only use my phone in landscape mode. They custom layouts thumb keyboard are fantastic, if you a have big fingers. I've tried all the rest and always end up going back to thumb keyboard.

I have been using Swift Keyboard for a few years and it is very well. But one Keyboard that I am using now is the Blackberry Priv Keyboard on my Note 4. Yes, I side loaded it and I will say that I love it! It took some getting used to but the swipe up feature for a word predicted is neat. Give it a try!!!

Hmm, I can't say much about the auto correct feature on this keyboard, but it hasn't given me any correction issues. I'm currently using Google's Korean Keyboard because of the awesome ability to swipe down on the letters and it enters the numbers or symbols pictured next to each letter. I found that feature to be very fast when sending messages or even typing up essays for school. I don't believe the regular Google keyboard has that swipe down feature, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have recently installed blackberry 10 keyboard that was made available for BlackBerry Priv. I got it from xda-website as its apk was slightly modified to work on other android phones. It is working great and typing speed and accuracy has improved a lot. I would say give it a go. Most probably you would love it.

In a previous reply I stated that I had installed this on my note 5 and the only thing I liked was the swipe up feature. It doesn't allow any customization and you can't swipe. Doesn't compare to SwiftKey.

I like using stock. Every time I use swiftkey I end up going back to stock as crazy as it sounds

Quote The Note 4 Never More

I agree, SwiftKey is the best out there. I have tried lots of different keyboards, but always come back to SwiftKey

Me too. It's really good. The personal add on dictionary is great and it learns real-time vs having to tell it to go learn from apps.

My first 3rd party keyboard was Swype, but later preferred Swiftkey. I prefer swiping when possible, and it seems like some of Swiftkey's advantages/predictions don't work as well with swiping. Plus I would get some lag on my 2013 Moto X. I switched between SwiftKey and Google occasionally on that phone.

I am using Google Keyboard on my new MXPE, and am really enjoying it. It's performing well for me and I think I'm going to stick with it for awhile.

Swiftkey isn't working out for me anymore. Switched to Google Keyboard now. It seems more accurate to me.

I'm a swiper as well, and Google keyboard is superior to SwiftKey in that department

Well, I've always been a Thumb Keyboard guy. I've read alot of comments about swiftkey. I tried it once befor but hated it. I decided to give it another go. Either they changed something or I just didn't pay attention before. With thumb keyboard, I was always used to having a split keyboard option. Never found it on swiftkey. Well this time i notice that it does have a nice dark neon theme and you can change the layout to a split keyboard. I gotta say, I'm sold on SwiftKey now! It's officially awesome!

I've been using Swiftkey since my Original Droid days. Still use it on my Note 5. Predictive text is very accurate and the multi word predictive text is pretty cool as well.

I tried the google handwriting app and it seems to work well with the Note 5. I like that a can write on multiple lines at a time. It does not read cursive well at all and has some trouble with spacing at times. But all in all it is pretty good. I'm going to keep using it for a while,

Note in my house!
