I've used most all of the others and prefer that one.

Post by: dorkvader on Sun, 16 February 2014, 16:23:24: I got a USB OTG cable and plug my KBT Pure into my phone. It's the best android KB I've used. Eventually, I'll plug my model F in, but it's too big to be portable.

maaan, now I want a 40% for portable phone use.

I'm currently using SwiftKey, it is the only Swipe action keyboard with Dvorak layout. Google keyboard and Swype does not have Dvorak layout I believe.

interesting concept, but can I type without my finger leaving the screen like you can do with Swype and SwiftKey?

Post by: Zeal on Mon, 17 February 2014, 18:26:34: I use swiftkey, but for some reason after 4.3 jelly bean update, the keyboard lost all tactile feedback. :'( I've tried resetting and reinstalling swiftkey with no avail..

Post by: intelli78 on Mon, 17 February 2014, 21:14:59: I really like the stock keyboard on my Galaxy Note 3. You can tap or swipe, and it has a dedicated number row available. No modifier required.

I'm currently using SwiftKey, it is the only Swipe action keyboard with Dvorak layout. Google keyboard and Swype does not have Dvorak layout I believe.

Keymonk has Dvorak and you can swipe with multiple fingers at once (with Google keyboard, too, btw).

If I weren't using Keymonk, I'd probably go with Swype because of the superior word recognition, shortcuts for copy/cut/paste and numpad. Some Samsung devices come with Swype preinstalled.

Post by: swornxin on Tue, 25 February 2014, 00:16:25: Although I stopped using Android phones a few months ago, I don't think that anything could beat SwiftKey personally. Very intuitive and easy to use. I still have it on my tablet, but it isn't really the same.
