at this moment I gotta say there's a steep learning curve but I can imagine how fast one can type if one master it!
I'm not saying that I can achieve 130 wpm but after trying it for a few hours today I'm not surprise someone might. Have you seen the video?at this moment I gotta say there's a steep learning curve but I can imagine how fast one can type if one master it!
that's like saying.. I just tried doing the karate, I could see how a lifetime devote master of karate could fight off 10 people at once..
130 doesn't seem realistic

Would totally be willing to try this out on Android!
Swiftkey just has too many bugs with jumping cursor / "adding" the completed word in between the word itself...
That sounds awesome. Is there an android version yet?

The word adding is a bug in android. My phone does it too, and I use the default keyboard.

TIL.
Super annoying when you're trying to erase the added word, and then it ends up messing up prediction even more.
Looks cool but takes up too much screen real estate for my liking.It's highly customizable so you can turn off many things and have a minimal keyboard.
Downloaded based on your recommendation. Will play with it tomorrow.good man.
And for those on the fence because of the $5 price tag, think about how much you spent on mech keyboard, your iPhone and then those beautiful artisan caps. Think about the PP fees you paid and the shipping fees. $5 is NOTHING!!
Ok it's been a few weeks.Still loving it. What I do not like is that I still can't type as fast as I peck on iOS keyboard. But of course, I could still peck at Nintype and therefore, what I dislike is moot in a way. I was hoping I can be a super fast swiper/combo.
What do you NOT like about Nintype or what bugs are there?
Is there a Geekhack theme color available?Every thing about the keyboard is customizable but it DIDN'T occur to me to customize base on GeekHack colour! My gosh!!! I am not worthy of the "True Geekhacker" title you just gave me. Let me work on that theme NOW!
I have purchased 3 different keyboards that I thought I would like. So far I still use the stock iOS keyboard. I fear that I will just be throwing away $5 and be right back to the stock iOS keyboard. But the colors make me fee like I should get it for that reason alone.In my opinion, this keyboard will shine in an iPhone 6 and 6 Plus (likely even an iPad) but not the smaller models. The reason is that it is the first keyboard that combine both swiping and pecking and thus is BEST use with two thumbs. If you are buying this to try on an iPhone 5S which is too small for two thumb typing, you will not like in.
I just bought the keyboard and im using it now. Its like a light show benieth my thumbs!!

And this is the reason why I still haven't mastered it yet because I am so sure to one finger pecking and not two thumb swiping+pecking combo. But it is best use in this way.
In case you didn't catch my edit, YM88: tip - swipe left on backspace key to delete and sweep to the right to undo the delete. Amazing innovation!haha yes that would be fun! I find this theme customizing very confusing at first glance. I don't know what most of these things even mean yet. I'll get there. I love how they put in the appostrophy in the little open space just right of the L key. Ninkey for the win!!
Also sweep left right on space bar to move the cursor.
We should have a Show Me Your Nintype keyboard thread!
Downloaded based on your recommendation. Will play with it tomorrow.heed, any comment - did you like it?
I got it on Christmas day when I was bored sitting at my grandparent's house.The default FX is too much for me too and I turned it down a bit. As for the word guessing, it improves over time as it keeps track in its own dictionary. And remember this is just one developer vs SwiftKey so I am easily sway to support him. As long as it is stable and does not crash, I am going to use it.
I tried it for about an hour and didn't really like it. Really colorful, and I found the word guessing wasn't very accurate and changed what I wanted to type most of the time.
If I had spent longer working with it, I might have gotten the hang of it, but SwiftKey works just fine for me so I went back to it.
Yeah. As a start for theme customizing just focused on Preset, PAL, Preset and Pattern. Then slowly explore the rest.This is unrelated to the quote but you seem to have a handle on this so ill ask you. I make spelling errors here and there and try to backspace but rather than deleting a character, it changes to another predicted (I'm guessing) word. Any way to turn that off that you know of? I'm going to keep it on as I'm guessing it might come in handy later on once I deal with this learning curve a bit more.
I actually came across a little glitch earlier when I tried to quote you on tapatalk. The keyboard never came up at all at first so I got out of the quote and tried again. This time it came up but it wasn't typing anything when I tapped on stuff. I got out again and it has been working fine ever since.I got it on Christmas day when I was bored sitting at my grandparent's house.The default FX is too much for me too and I turned it down a bit.

Hold space bar - option under hold/swipe backspace. There are a few options there.It just crashed again. Also it seems like the red underline for spell check doesn't show up either. This is a major problem as I am a terrible speller to the point that its embarrassing.
I turned on Single Character DeleteShow Image(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/30/f5e9b984beafa1336d4512c7e430fbf4.jpg)
Edit: if they keyboard didn't come up that means it crashed. It happens once a while.
In iOS Settings, under Keyboard, you can actually arrange which is your first keyboard. I find that putting Nintype as the first, followed by English (which is the default iOS keyboard) and then Emoji somehow made it more stable, not prone to crash. Perhaps the iOS keyboard was trying to content with this. I believe there was a post that iOS 3rd party keyboard implementation is still at infancy.Well, it was fun while it lasted but with no underlining of incorrect words im forced to return to the stock iOS keyboard. I'm sad. Also, im on my 4th keyboard crash now as well.
But red underline spell check, good point. I didn't notice that. Not being a native English speaker, I gotta learn all of my spellings since childhood, so I didn't need to depend on a spell check as much :P I do need grammar check though, LOL!
Ouch, don't go! Did you turn on too many FXes? I definitely didn't get that many crashes. It's strange. But I do think that not having the red underline for misspelled words could be a no-go. I have tweet to the developer @jormy and asked if if there are any options to turn this on.Thanks! I might tweet him also with some of my concerns as well. Also, I will keep up to date on this thread to see how this app is progressing. I really do want to use it. Typing on this regular keyboard feels so boring now even after such short amount of time using Nintype.
He replied "@jormy: Doesn't look like it's possible with the API atm" - looks like it's SOL at the moment until Apple opened up more.Ugh. Yea that's the answer I got too. He told me to use the topbar to correct mistakes. If I don't know it's incorrect how can I go back and correct it? haha. This is a major bummer. Back to the boring keyboard for me!

Ok..... I brightened the key caps slightly so I can make them out. I like it very much. Thanks for pushing me to do so. I blame you for my unproductive hours, Input. Not that I have anything to do at work now.Show Image(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/30/245eb836ae8f6d61381f58f4038765a7.jpg)

Damn. I get blamed and I'm not even playing.
Damn.
I ordered one of these instead.

Virtual Keyboards! The way to go!
V1.6 was just released in App Store and it vastly improved the keyboard pop up speed. No more 5 sec delay that many may think that the keyboard hang. And lots of performance enhancement and memory allocation to make it better. You should give it another try YM88, but still doesn't solve your twiggy line spelling error.He replied "@jormy: Doesn't look like it's possible with the API atm" - looks like it's SOL at the moment until Apple opened up more.Ugh.
