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.

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.
 
I've tried 'em all and always end up with Swiftkey. Half the time it writes my texts without me.
 
I always find myself coming back to Swype. The longer I use and adapt it, the better it becomes.

Something to ponder: do you guys think Nuance will keep working on FlexT9 after buying Swype last fall, or kill it off in favor of Swype?
 
At the moment I have A.I. Type Keyboard, Big Buttons, Perfect Keyboard, Smart Keyboard and Thumb keyboard loaded on my Galaxy Nexus. No matter which one I use, I always come back to the stock ICS keyboard.:cool:
 
The new Swype beta. Best keyboard ever (once you get used to it), best Swype ever, best voice to text using Dragon Go now...much more accurate than Google.

This is so true for me... most of the time when I am texting my GF, I would say 85% of the time I only need to type 1 or 2 words and the rest of the text is just clicking the prediction.

I must say that I LOVED Swype on my Samsung Fascinate and Bionic, only keyboard that I used and I am slowly starting to use it more and more on the Gnexus. Only reason that I would say I haven't used it so much now is because it took a while for it to come to the device that I got accustomed to Swiftkey.
 
I have Swype and Swiftkey, but I find myself using the stock keyboard the most. The only one I seem to change to sometimes is Swype.
 
Swype for sure. I loved it on all the motorola phones I had and really missed it on the nexus. However, I will say the new stock keyboard really helped the waiting period lol.
