How I rank the keyboards I've tried extensively since April:


1. SwiftKey

Best word prediction and next word prediction. Makes the fewest mistakes. Multitouch. Great landscape mode. Fast. Does take up a lot of the screen though.

​

2. Swype

Been using it since the first beta. When it works, it's so fast. Can use it one handed, which is nice. Landscape is OK. Touch typing is terrible. I find myself making a lot of mistakes that I have to go back and correct.

​

3. Gingerbread.

Very close to Swiftkey, prediction not quite as good, no next word prediction. Multitouch.

​

4. Stock keyboard.

Solid keyboard, nothing fancy. Decent prediction.

​

5. SlideIT

Like Swype, but not as good.

​

6. Ultra keyboard.

I've heard the hype. Just don't like it. Swype mode not as good as Swype. Touch typing OK. Prediction isn't that great. Usability kind of clunky/ugly.
​

I have become a big fan of SwiftKey.

Swiftkey just got a sexy new HD skin and added more languages. I've been using it for a while and switching from time to time, but now its my default. The new version is free for 31 days if any are interested in giving it a shot.

Where do you get the HD Skin for it? I have the paid version. I did just get an update and the layout was changed but I can't seem to find "skins" anywhere.

Swype's newest update has me flying like nothing else. Tried Swiftkey and Better Keyboard, can't say the same. Too steep of a learning curve on 8pen.

There is no additonal skin to get, they just redid the stock keyboard to make it look better, particularly on higher resolution screens like the DI.

I'm a fan of Swifkey. The word prediction is fantastic; it really cuts down on the number of keystrokes when typing. I also like the Nexus keyboard as well, but Swiftkey is my primary.

I've been converted to Swiftkey, but for some reason the new HD skin makes me feel like I make more mistakes...as if each individual button is now significantly smaller.

With all these keyboard I constantly hit "." or "b" instead of the space bar, which is really really annoying (landscape mode).
