Upgrade the stock keyboard?

I've had my note 2 since April, and I'm really mad that I didn't know about Google keyboard till this past month. Samsung keyboard is OK,same for swype. Swiftkey is OK, but I have a real problem with the way some of the functioning works with it as far as deleting whole words vs a letter. Google keyboard is exactly what I need.

Yeah I just found out about it when I got my S4 back a couple weeks ago. Swiftkey was always a no brainer for me when setting up a new android but not anymore. I even disabled Samsung's altogether. Google keyboard is simple and just works. And the spacing between the keys is greatly appreciated. I keep my correction on aggressive and its awesome. Don't see going back to swiftkey because this only stands to get better.

Once thing I have not seen on any of these keyboards is the numbers along the top row of the keyboards, like the stock Samsung keyboard for the S4.

A.I.Type has an option to add a dedicated numbers row above the qwerty row. I like it best of the ones I've tried.

Trying it out now thanks for the tip. Seems I even purchased it at one point in my android career.

What makes Swiftkey better for me than Google Keyboard is the automatic spacing. You can't see the predicted text in Google Keyboard until you hit space. I hardly ever hit space in Swiftkey; hence I type much faster.

But maybe I'm missing something? There's also the immediate access to common punctuation that SwiftKey gives you.
