What are the best keyboards for this phone?

I have little experience with different keyboards, but I am currently using the Jelly Bean Keyboard 4.2 by Johntamni. I like it better than the stock keyboard. Just using the free version right now.

It is nice to have so many choices!

I switch between the Stock (default) keyboard and the Hacker Keyboard. The Hacker Keyboard doesn't do the annoying auto-correcting mechanism..
 
I love me some Swype, but I've decided not to use it. The beta is only 6 months long right? What do you do after that?

Stock jellybean keyboard has swipe now (Spelled it "swipe" because I don't think they actually use "swype" software). I'm a loyal "swype" user and hate the stock keyboard. Well I was being lazy one day and didn't install "swype". Been over a week now (takes about this long to get used to a new keyboard) and really can't tell the difference between the two (other than the skin). Also, since the last beta update I was having a lot of issues with "swype" predicting the wrong words.

ya. I like the jelly bean keyboard as well
 
I've been using Touchpal lately and I really like it. I haven't been using swipe to text for a long time because I was having issues with other keyboards back on Froyo and Gingerbread, but I do like this one and it has made my texting a good deal faster most of the time.
 
When it first came out, I had a hard time with swipe. So I never tried the Touchpal version. Guess I should give it another chance. ;)
 
thanks for the tip had no idea swiping was built into the stock keyboard now, just uninstalled touchpal and kii cause i love the stock keyboard
 
I actually use the Q2 keyboard. It is VERY customizable, And even has a seperate app to make your own themes! I have tried a bunch of different keyboards and I definitely like this one the best.
 
I have a question, I use the swiftkey 3. I like it a lot but I would like to use this keyboard but with swype function. Does such a thing exist? I can't use the stock keyboard coz its qwerty and not changeable to azerty!

You can download the SwiftKey Flow beta directly from their website, it supports swype like gestures. Good luck. :p
