what keyboards are u guys using?

+1 Droid X kb....if they could only fix the lag in the browsers, this keyboard would be perfect. oh, and add navigation keys too :p
 
Stock. I tried Swype and didn't like it. Seemed slower to me for some reason. It was pretty amazing how it worked though. Maybe I'll try it again in the future.
 
Stock, I deleted swype. I thought swype was horrible. Still need to try the Droid x, all the others I tried were no better then stock. Wish the damn search key would work In landscape without opening the browser first.

I'm torn between Swype and the Droid X keyboard. The Droid keyboard is really good for traditional typing, but I hate that it doesn't auto-capitalize or have a full-word delete when you hold down the delete button (as far as I can tell). Swype is great also, but I find myself going back to the Droid keyboard. I guess the good thing is that we have a choice :)

This is exactly what is happening to me. I keep going back to Droid X over Swype.
 
I go between droid x and swype. I like swype more in portrait than landscape. For whatever reason I always try to hold the phone and swype with the same hand and cant easily make it all the way across the screen in landscape. I also find that I have to remind myself not to type normally on swype sometimes. I feel like I make more mistakes with droid x, though. Both have their pros and cons.
 
I'm back to stock but bounce from that to the Droid x one. I just wish the droid x one had the numbers above the letters. it would be perfect keyboard. I can fly on that thing. Hopefully someone will find a way to fix or alter that. I have to say, its nice to have options.
 
Just installed swype I like it but it is hard to get use to. I see very little difference between stock and droid x.
 
Currently using the HTC_IME mod keyboard.

I tried swype and liked it. But there is something about actually typing that feels better. Even if its slower.

I also tried Droid X multi-touch keyboard but for some reason I lost the pinch-zoom in Dolphin HD. So I couldn't use it.
 
I guess I will be the first to mention it.... I use ShapeWriter. I installed it and Swype within a couple of days of each other and I could not stand Swype compared to ShapeWriter. Everything from the interface to the accuracy is better on ShapeWriter, in my opinion. My fall back tap to type keyboard is the Droid X keyboard. The stock doesn't get a whole lot of use anymore.

Another vote for ShapeWriter. I think it is much better than swype. IMO
 
I use stock because I had Swype and I disabled it on accident and now when I enable it, it won't work...

Any reasons?
