Stock keyboard vs. third party keyboards

[ajonesma]

which keyboard are you using?

I usually use Swiftkey on my Gnex, but currently just using the stock keyboard on my Nexus 7.

Swype on both N7 and GNex. Love that voice dictation!

I'm using swiftkey, the phone version as well.. Thought I'd test it before paying for the "tablet" version and it works just fine on here. I am a swiftkeyaholic btw.

I'm using stock and even though I love swift key, the stock keyboard is great.

I use swiftkey on a phone, but I don't like the tablet layout, especially not on a 7". Thumbkeyboard for me.

SwiftKey Tablet version. Works great.

I too love Swiftkey, but am going to give the stock keyboard a chance. There's some small differences between the two, but it's only been two days. I currently use swiftkey on my Galaxy tab 10.1 and my GALAXY Player 5.0 and have grown fond of it. Time will tell.

Everyone should give the stock keyboard a fair try as it is a whole lot better than the old stock keyboard.

Using stock for now, will probably get swype at some point.

Stock all the way. From ICS, stock keyboard was fine and now with Jelly Bean, stock keyboard is way to go for me

been using stock all week and I'm not a big fan. Probably going to switch back to SwiftKey

Have used Swift Key on my phone since I went Android about 2 years ago. Just today found GO Keyboard and that's what I'm using on my N7 and will prolly switch to on my Rezound.

Couldn't agree more. What I really need though is a Thumbkeyboard layout with the power of Swiftkey behind it. Then I'd be completely happy.

I do wish the spacebar and backspace keys were bigger though.

SwiftKey has a thumb layout option.

I'm using the stock Jelly Bean keyboard.

That would be incredible. I've said that a few times when swiftkey has asked for feedback from VIP's, but no go.

I'm currently using Swype.

Installed the swype beta, have it set as my default but when I type, It still uses the stock keyboard.

Trying to figure that one out, I really love swype for my phone and it would be an awesome addition to my tablet. I can't wait till swype comes out of beta! REally looking forward to that.
