What annoys you about it?
Sometimes it won't type, requiring a reboot...but it's not the only keyboard susceptible to this.

I use Swype and it's pretty accurate for the most part, but sometimes when I type fast it does this thing where when I type with two thumbs, it bugs out and connects the two letters with a Swype line and basically makes up a word, and starts a new word. Very annoying. It happens pretty frequently. The only reason I don't change is because I sometimes use the Swype feature and it's pretty useful sometimes. I don't know when and why I use it and other times not but I do use it so I don't wanna get rid of it.
Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know why this happens/how to fix it?
I think I might have to ditch Swype.

I've always thought that Swype wasn't meant for two hand typing. I don't know this for sure BUT it seems like the whole point is to be able to type with one finger.
Honestly I think it would be MUCH hard to try and type with to fingers using swype. Seems like it defeats the purpose.

Honestly, for me at least, once you get down into a groove on using Swype you can really haul ass texting. That why i love it, it's so freaking fast and genius imo. Plus it's light and uses little cpu.
Although swift key can be just as fast over it recognizes how you type. That shit predicts sentences like I've never seen before, literally scary. So being that you only have to click the prediction instead of typing it, you can type extremely fast.
I've tried all the others and wasted upwards of 20 bucks trying keyboards. Some are decent, most suck. Imo
I though they took Swype off the ROMs because it constantly uses 5-10% CPU? I haven't noticed, but I thought I read it kills alot of CPU.
I do the same thing though, I bounce between Swype and Swiftkey.

IDK. On mine it uses very little. Now sure of the exact number but it's not a lot. Regardless its no where near enough to be noticeable when using the phone.

Lately I've Been Using A.I Keyboard and I really enjoy it. I like the minimal style letters when its in landscape mode which makes it easy for me to type better and faster. For swype it just got old. I like change on my phone lol I have the latest version of swype still on my phone.
