Anyone else noticing incredible input lag with default Asus on screen keyboard? Switched to android default and it is considerably faster just winder if anyone else was seeing similar results.

Yes, I've just switched keyboards and totally agree.

yep. i got fed up with the asus one
I agree. The stock one is almost unusable because it lags so much.
I went to stock. The Asus one was laggy, unresponsive etc.. I do like their layout better though.

If you want the swipe type keyboard then I would suggest flex T9, if you want one to type with then I would recommend smart keyboard pro which allows you to change the width and height of the keys to suit your finger size. They are both available on the market but will cost you a little bit for the privilege however they are both fantastic to use without any lag. I prefer the flexT9 one as swiping is my preferred method of text entry.
thumb keyboard gets a nod from me.. and the new v4 beta adds some great new features.. also, I posted a while back that for some reason, text entry on some forums is inherantly laggy on the stock browser, no matter what keyboard you use (try switching to Firefox) to see what I mean so its possible the Asus keyboard may be getting a bit of an unfair rap ;-)
i recently downloaded thumb keyboard. Very customizable and makes it easy to type while holding the device in either orientation. ..

The Asus keyboard is laggy on everything, there is defnitely a delay even using Quick office.

I love the asus keyboard. I've no issues with lag, only wished auto corrects is better. Like i just typed "ive" and it doesnt correct to "I've" and other simple things like pressing i doesn't auto correct to I.

I think that was one of the first changes I made to the device, get a better keyboard on.
thumb keyboard is pretty good and responsive.
I am so use to swype on my htc evo though.

Just installed it a few minutes ago. Works pretty good. Much easier to type since the tablet's screen is big so you can "Swype" more easily.
Reminder: Do not post any Swype apk files on XDA. It's not allowed.
That being said, the Beta is open again so join and you'll get accepted.
just ditched thumb keyboard for the time
I was already in the beta. When trying to install on TF it says this device is not android device. Thoughts?

Make sure your Transformer browser's user-agent is set to Tablet, not Desktop.
It's in the Browser settings under Advance.
Bingo. Thanks. I was using the dolphin browser so using stock did the trick
first impressions are great! Typing from swype now
Wow I love the small keyboard and that its moveable!!!!

It's pretty nice. Wish we could move the keyboard all around the screen instead of just on the bottom.

Wow, shows up one day after I broke down and bought Thumb Keyboard. Which, by the way, is only $0.99 from Amazon right now, so it isn't like I broke the bank.
The "shrink" button really makes a nice difference in usability IMO, but I'm still sticking with TK for now. The one-sided keyboard (with the blank space to hold the tablet) is really awesome IMO, and I find that I have really good typing speed on the split keyboard + auto correct.
Going back to tablet keyboard free.
The perfect tablet keyboard would be a split keyboard with swype input. Until that happens I will be using the thumb keyboard split just like on tablet keyboard free.
Loving this new swype
So much easier to use with one finger. Though I'll probably still use thumb keyboard when typing an email. And it seems there's a horrible lag when typing in the browser with swype...
i installed just a moment ago. Really lik swype. its what my transtormer was missing. The browser lag is still there but not as noticeable to me now. Glad this update waa released.
thanks. installed and long time swype user however the hc skin for tk split keyboard is still champ for now. i will remain testing to see if my opinion changes. thanks for posting.
Does anybody actually think the movable keyboard is a good idea? I'm loving Swype on HC, but don't see why anybody would want to put it in that "movable" mode. I could see it making sense if it didn't cover the entire bottom of the screen anyway, but it does. Maybe, I just don't get it....

I also got swype keyboard but i mostly write in french and in settings, it seems there is no choice of language..
Any idea how i can get the french installed?
Thanks

Man I hate the g2x android keyboard. I need KB setup I can custumize myself or better yet already set up to my specs. Basically I want a " return " function in ALL THE setups. I hate that when I go to text there's no return key, also an @ in all the layouts as well. I would LOVE TO have a KB layout that emulates the d2 slider . Any suggestions to something close to the d2 layout? I tried better keyboard but that sucked, just fancy buttons, no return no directional arrows... lmk

FlexT9! Never liked anything else since I started using that!
Personally, I'm still in the "tap tap tap" category, so SmartKeyboard Pro is the way to go. It looks nice, it sounds nice, and it vibrates. What's more to want?
Its customizable, apparently. I think you can tweak a lot on the keyboard. Rock solid. For those who still hammer out letter by letter.
I have not been on the android wagon in awhile and I was wondering about different keyboards on the market. I really like our stock multi touch keyboard but the white theme is burning a hole in my retinas at night. Could somebody recommend a free/paid replacement? I also really like the island style buttons on the keyboard. No Skype please, I've already deleted it from the rom lol. Thanks all!

I like how the stock keyboard does not have a dedicated row for spelling corrections, just big old buttons on the screen.. If go keyboard does that then I'm game

Go keyboard does have it, but you wouldn't know from my screenshot cause I have it disabled. It's a highly customizable keyboard, you can even control the strength of the haptic feedback
Swiftkey
I use swift key because it has multiple theme colors and excellent predictive options. If you allow it gmail, text message, and/or facebook access it will learn how you type and make intelligent offers on what to type based your typing patterns. The other great thing is you can turn on arrows to move through what typed easier then trying to tap the proper place inside a word.

Just got my TF300T, but I'm slightly frustrated by the fact that I have to change the default keyboard to ASUS when I use the dock.
After a bit of googling, I found this solution http://stevenixon.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/howto-change-your-asus-eee-pad.html.
Whilst I get the general gist of what needs to be done, it's not something I've got any experience of. Please can someone advise me in more detail how I actually do this?
I cant help you on that front but i can tell you that pressing Ctrl and Shift allows you to select input method. It's a handy tip i think. Figured it out by accident.

Well, a friend who knows linux helped me to replace the files, but it looks like the instructions in the link were probably for a different model, as there are no asusec files. There are asusdec files, but replacing these didn't solve the problem, and actually caused the lock key to make the tablet sleep!
I've looked at the various files, and none seem to match the gb keychars or keylayout files, so unless anyone else has any idea how to make this work I'm stuck.
Thanks for the Ctrl + Shift hint, but this doesn't seem to be working properly for me. It did work once, seemingly at random, but that's it.
Strange, it works fine for me everytime.

Strange, it does not work for me (TF300T-1A160: AZERTY keyboard), and it is very annoying: I usualy use the beta Swype software keyboard, and when I dock the physical keyboard, I have to change the default keyboard via "Settings > Language and Keyboard"
Surely, before you type, next to the time (on the left) you can see the keyboard? you can just click that and change it.

Thanks a lot for the screen. copies.
Now I can see the small keyboard icon... but only when the cursor is in an input field! I am very happy with this turnaround.
But the Ctrl+Shift does not display the choice you have.

It doesn't appear to be fixed in 4.1.1 for me. I am using CleanROM and unless I use the Asus soft keyboard (which I dislike) the dock thinks it is American. Only when I select the Asus soft keyboard are the keys correct. I have tried changing the Android language (as I select the Android keyboard by default) but this does not work.
Does anyone else know of a fix for the TF300 to use the dock layout as standard when using another soft keyboard?

Hello everyone,
I'm not an tf300 user, but I'm searching for a solution for my brother. For specific reasons he need to use the on-screen keyboard even while docked, but this option is disabled since he updated it to JellyBean... Is there a solution for it? He is completely stock non rooted...
Thanks!

This seems to work for me. Either press Ctrl+ Shift on the dock and then you will see the an option to turn the physical keyboard off. If Ctrl and shift doesn't work for you, click the little keyboard in the bar at the bottom and select it to off from there. The below picture is when i press Ctrl+Shift

Thank you, I'll tell him your way! He said that even if he choose to display it, but I think he did it from Input Settings and not with Ctrl/Shift...
If Ctrl+shift doesn't work, try doing it by clicking the little keyboard icon on the left hand side of the clock whilst typing in the status bar.
