So for those that use something other than the stock keyboard on your smartphone and or tablet, what do you use?

The reason I ask is because I just installed Minuum and an trying it out now.

Digging around in the settings, it supports QWERTY, alphabetical, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Colemak, and Dvorak.

Take a look at this thread:

As an update to that though, I gave up on Swiftkey and I've gone back to the Google Keyboard.  Overall, I'm happier with the Google Keyboard, despite missing the dedicated arrow keys.

I've been using Swype for a couple of years now. Depending on the prediction I can be scary fast with it, plus it deals with language changes rather seamlessly. The only things holding me back are making sure that the heuristics picked out the word I meant and correcting when they haven't.
