I've only used the stock sense keyboard and am considering checking out some alternatives via the market. Would love some feedback on the matter from my fellow forum-dwellers.

Please post what keyboard you are using/have used and your level of satisfaction with it.

swype is the best there is, and it's free
get the latest 3.0 beta on their website
 
I installed Swype 3.0 and for the most part I am digging it. It's probably gonna take some time to get used to it, but it's working out pretty well so far.

I'm a little skeptical about how it will hold up when trying to type out things that are not words -like email addresses.
 
Used swiftkey for a bit, nice but had some features missing. trying Swype beta 3.0 right now. But I was happy with the stock keyboard on the Dinc. probably gonna feel the same with the keyboard on the Dinc2
 
Anyone noticed that Swype acts a fool when you are trying to leave a comment on someone's post on Google Plus? It goes crazy and doesn't type right at all.
 
Ultimate, which is similar to Better, etc. Uses same skins. I have the paid version. I like it because it's the only keyboard I can configure to have numbers appear at the top of the keyboard.

Someone put out a GB-type keyboard that looked to me like iPhone's. I actually liked it because it fit my long fingers, but I couldn't put the numbers on the keyboard which was the killing point.

I'm using Swype and it does take some getting used to. I much prefer it to tapping out every letter, however the predictive text function is problematic sometimes when you try to swype something it doesn't recognize. When that happens I tap out each letter and then select it from the suggestion bar at the top edge (hope that's clear). It get's better over time as Swype builds up a database. Over all it's the best thing next to a hardware keyboard IMHO. YMMV of course...:cool:
 
Smart Keyboard Pro.
Cupertino skin..... (I KNOOOOWWWWW.... but in my defense, I have big fingers and the key spacing helps)
