Larger Keyboard

Basically, I am looking for a QWERTY soft keyboard with larger keys than the built in one in Portrait mode.
I apologise if there really is a well known solution to my aggravation. It must have trekked over the horizon, cos I spent atleast 6 hours last night trying to find it.
So, I find the most convenient way to type is with thumb or fingers, and I can do this on the built-in keyboard, with a moderate accuracy. It's still more convenient than getting out the stylus.
I have demod perhaps 15 different SIP Keyboards now and NONE of them have a larger keyboard in Portrait mode than the built-in keyboard.... WHY? They either have large keys and a stupid gimmick or small keys and a standard QWERTY. Could the calligrapher keyboard be any smaller?
Here is my ideal SIP Keyboard: a qwerty keyboard with just the letters (and . , ?) on screen, but taking upto half of the screen. The numbers can be hidden under a shift or alt key.
Does this exist? All the large key keyboards I have found take up the whole screen, which I find very irritating in itself.
We've all the seen the iphone and its keyboard right? Is there not a single program with good size keys for ppc? I found one that is ABCD etc. not qwerty and the guy wanted to charge over 100 dollars on handango.
Please Please Please. Help me and suggest a solution. Thank you.
PS. I have found ideal software for the Palm OS, is there a version for PPC? Look here:

I just found a good one for all those interested.
Its called Happy Tapping Keyboard. It resides on some obscure korean site i think. Do a google search and use the translate option. It works enough to understand.
So far it is hands down the best keyboard available. Its larger than the built in one and even larger in landscape, but most importantly it only takes up a little bit of the screen, so you can still see stuff.
I highly recommend. And it is free and skinnable. You can also add a WAV sound to the tap, an audio aide so you know when you have hit it. That is if you dont want to enable all screen tap sounds in WM5.

some details
Thanks for this HTK program,
this is the link for download :
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/KOTETU/00000103
once it is downloaded, you need to move the cab file directly to your device (don't run it from your computer).
and this is the one for some skins :

put them in the picture folder or a folder that you will easily find on your device.
choose the right VGA/QVGA mode
to change the skin :
go to setting then choose the keyboard icon and find the skin you put in your folder.
et voila !
rq : would be nice if the button could be bigger !
and it is obsure japanese not korean,
cheers

I can't seem to find "\" char... anyone enlighten me pls

Why do you want to translate a Korean site when you can just get it next door.. yes, next door here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296455&highlight=

screen keyboard upgrade?

been looking for this - not sure if it exist for Kaiser, it used to exist for other smartphones...just can't remember what it was called;
It's basically a replacement for the on screen keyboard - when you select the keyboard you get a transparent keyboard that fills the whole screen, so makes it easier to type with - and ya don't have to use a pointer or the keyboard itself...handy for one hand action.
Any thoughts if there is anything like that around now and what it's called, or if it's in a cab?

Large t9?

Hi, i was wondering if anyone knows about large t9/xt9 keyboard that works with TD2. I like the htc phonepad, but I feel it's a bit jittered, and would like one with larger buttons instead of the arrow and symbol keys around the sides.
Thanks in advance

Too many different options to list but do a search on SIPs.
I know there is Finger Keyboard developed here and many other SIPS such as Touch Pal, Zoom Board, Resco Keyboard, etc.
I use Touch Pal because it is functional and acts like Zoom Board by magnifying the pressed key.

Missing my Scrool ball like had in HERO

HI
I am missing my scroll track ball as when i type any text and want to amend the text in upper line or something like i have to click on that particular part, having fat fingers sometime its impossible or take few more click with my fingers to get to that particular part of the text
so any one experienced this ?... i seen HTC DESIRE HD the keyboard got the arrows keys to move the typing cursor across but not in our Sensation
any other solution
Please excuse my poor English
Thanx

I came from the Wildfire which as the trackpad. I thought I would miss it but I don't.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro, and imo it is the best alternative keyboard out there. So customisable! You can add arrow keys with that keyboard. There's a trial version of the keyboard if you want to test it out and look at the settings.

Ahh, I feel your pain. I too miss my G2 trackpad. I didn't even realize how much I used it for that purpose until I was without it. I use ultra keyboard for my fix. The auto correct algorithm is the best I've used so far. And you can shorten the key height(or enlarge) to make the keyboard the same height as stock with the arrows included.

Any keyboard apps similar to thumb one with split keyboard?

I like the split keyboard when letters are in right and left sides and numbers are in center (in landscape mode), but the keyboard is somewhat not so suitable to write.
I tried to modify it but cannot find the best option yet.
Are there similar keyboards that have more ways of modification or more different set-ups to choose from?
