SwiftKey definitely, just seems much better for the way I work, especially now it supports Chinese. Google keyboard have to go through input method menus to select Google Pinyin or Sogou Pinyin, if I wish to go from English to Chinese.
 
I use Swiftkey, even though it's about as lightweight and snappy a pregnant hippo. I tried Fleksy for a while, and while it was much faster it was also hard to use well, so I went back to Swiftkey.
 
I find SwiftKey really "snappy" tbh. It never lags for me.
What device are you using it on mate?
 
Swiftkey all the way, especially since the people at XDA have come up with Super Swiftkey, over 100 themes for the keyboard. Don't know if I can post the link to that or not so I won't until I get a green light! Google is getting better, but it has no where near the themes that even normal Swiftkey has, and doesn't even come close to the next word prediction that it does. If you are looking for a good FREE next word prediction keyboard with lots of themes I'd also suggest TouchPal. It's right up there with Swiftkey right now as far as next word prediction goes, and so far it's the ONLY keyboard that predicts TWO words at a time! For example, "so much" or "too much" come up as one prediction, so it saves you keystrokes all day long!

Nexus 6... I haven't used Google keyboard. Samsung Galaxy s3 i used Samsung keyboard and hated it so i went with SwiftKey... I am limited on space att only offers 32gb. Model.. So at 64 gb of use by SwiftKey i thought maybe using google keyboard L to free up space
 
The latest update my phone got came with SwiftKey so it wiped Super SwiftKey :(
Haven't managed to get the thing rooted yet so can't remove it...
 
I have been using google L Keyboard.. Nice very much like SwiftKey but.... No arrow to skip down if one was to want to paragraph there message..


Like this... As a example....
..
 
If you haven't tried TouchPal yet funky, give it a try, it's not Super Swift key, but you might just like it seeing as you can't install it on your phone now!

That was totally my intention EarlyMon, and thanks for getting back to me! The guys over there do a great job and deserve to get credit for all their hard work. Here is the link to the thread at XDA, over 100 themes and counting for Super Swiftkey!

@hiredgun we're ok with the link if they are - but thread links only so the proper path is followed to love the devs - no direct download links to bypass hard working devs. Thanks! :)

I'm ok with the stock themes tbh mate and ive bought a few so I'm OK for now until I get this damn thing rooted :thumbsupdroid:
 
I don't have a problem with Paying for a keyboard, I paid for Swype and Swiftkey in it's day, but I tried the trial version of Flexsy and it's next word prediction DID NOT convince me at all!! I know a lot of people love it, but I rely way too much on next word prediction to use a keyboard that doesn't have a good prediction engine!

I've been a longtime fan of Swiftkey, but I still keep coming back to the Google Keyboard. It just feels smoother to me; I find myself actually making more mistakes with Swiftkey, despite its improved prediction engine.
 
I used Samsung's keyboard with s3 and hated it .... Friends told me about a Swiftkey and used it on all my phones. I am finding better flow with L keyboard and less mistakes myself
 
Swiftkey all the way. Maybe I'll try the L keyboard when the OPO gets the L update, but I doubte and I doubt I'll stick with it if I do. I just love Swiftkey.
