Hey guys, I'm not affiliated with these guys in any way but you really should check out perfect keyboard free.. the height is adjustable and it has a split layout for landscape mode with the numbers in the middle.. I just ran across it today and love it! Its a perfect keyboard for the tab.

That is a good keyboard, I've tried it on my Tab!... I actually prefer to use Thumb Keyboard now, its got several different layouts and great themes!

Same here, Thumb Keyboard is the best on the Tab. It has good options:
- Split keyboard with numbers in the middle,
- small keyboard in the corner for 1 hand use..
and much more good ones.

I use a logitek bluetooth keyboard with mouse pad on it, it works good, but usually i'm not thinking it about using it, as it's easier to use the keypad on the tab itself.
Been using thumbkeyboard for a while now and it is very nice. Fully customizable according to your need and nice layout especially for tab user by holding it with both hand and typing with the thumb.
I have been using smart keyboard pro and its the only keyboard so far without the ddoouubbllee lleetteerriinngg bugz

I tried many keyboards but I returned to the original Samsung one.
I tried it too and its awesome but there isn't that big of a difference to the gingerbread keyboard which works like a charm
Basically every keyboard is better than the one samsung provides

Hey XDA community!
So I am new to the site as well as android (transferred from BB) and I recently rooted my G2X with the help of all the articles, instructions and postings on the site. So for that thank you all.
My first question for the community is: Which app makes for a better keyboard than Swype?
Now that am rooted and running a cleaner OS than stock I am considering doing away with swype in place of something better, faster and preferably easier. But since am new to the Android platform I don't quite know where to start and which keyboards apps are truly better.
No keyboard is faster than swype. Swiftkey is pretty interesting, 8pen is a fun novelty, and there are a few out there that add keys most don't have, but swype it's the fastest by far.
Download the beta though, it's so much better than stock.

Its personal preference actually. I tried swype but didn't like the dragging finger all the time. Tapping is more what I like. But if you can get use to swype. Its the fastest. Otherwise go with smartkeyboard
Sent from my LG-P999
Okay, all good suggestions. Ive download both smart and swype beta and will give them each a trial run and see.
Thanks for the help!
I told ya!

If you want a taping keyboard, Swiftkey X is the way to go. It's got AI scripting that predicts what word you're about to type before you even start typing it. It learns as you go too, so it gets better over time.
I love it. I use Keyboard Manager, which lets me set different keyboards based on rotation, and have swype on portrait and Swiftkey on landscape.

Well, I found one on the market, but its not what I was looking for. What it should include (and this is what WP7 has)
- No visibility to the notification bar
- Ability to change wallpaper
- and others that WP7 has that I have forgotten...
I hope someone responds!

I don't see how the stock keyboard is even remotely comparable to Swiftkey. They're equally responsive, but Swiftkey gets way better at predicting what you're going to type next than the stock keyboard. I've tried getting used to the stock keyboard after using Swiftkey, since the stock keyboard uses much less memory, but it's not nearly as useful.

When I comes to prediticions, I have to agree, but like I said the only feature that I like of the stock keyboard is the Swype. I've tried go keyboard and slideit but they're swyping was a quite the pain. But as of this moment, I am typing with SwiftKey 3.

on gingerbread I could hold down on any text field and an input method would appear. Trace I very inaccurate. It's not as intuitive as Swype. And it looks ugly. I had you reinstall it. Thanks people.
