What on-screen keyboard are you using?

[premiump]

With not buying the keyboard dock (hen's teeth in the UK), I have spent the last week or so with the ASUS stock on-screen keyboard. Whilst it was fine to use whilst propped up, I found it sucked when holding my TF101 two-handed.

I started looking for an alternative, preferably something I could type with using my thumbs ...

Enter stage right: Thumb Keyboard.

Its not free, but it is cheap. I really like it.

Any others out there worth looking at?

I have tried both the Asus and stock Honeycomb, plus a couple of third-party apps. I like the Honeycomb best, but switched back to the Asus today for compatability with my keyboard dock (just arrived).

Thumb keyboard... its the best.

You can actually use just about any other keyboard even though you have the dock. That compatibility message is annoying but I've not seen any issues with it. I have the dock, but when in non-docked, tablet only mode, I use the paid version of the Gingerbread keyboard so I can adjust the key and gap sizes. Works well.

I like Thumb Keyboard best so far, although I can't wait for SwiftKey's Tablet version to come out - their text prediction reads my mind! I'm going to try Tablet Keyboard tonight - I just read about it on this forum.

I'm using the swype beta currently.

I just switched to Swype today. I have four keyboards on my TF.

I'm using the swype beta currently.

Thanks to this thread I just switched from stock to Swype 3.25 beta.
Lovin' it!

I hated leaving Swype only on my Droid X. And I REALLY hated that the stock KB would faux Swype sometimes and not others. Frustrating!

I'm happy!

I haven't got the tablet yet, but I'm already using Thumb on my Evo4g.

I have to say, this one is definitely a keeper when I go from 4" to 10". Spacing, sizing, customizing - this KB is just what I was looking for on the (relatively bigh) small screen and the one I'll keep on the (huge) large screen.

This. Huge plus if you RDP / VNC / whatever to other systems.

I'm a fan of the Thumbs keyboard also. However I can really see the value in the Hacker's keyboard, I'll be installing that one to give it a try.

Swype! Fabulous! You can use it as a keyboard full-size, or shrink it to phone size and Swype with one hand while holding the Pad with the other hand. I'm totally smitten!

I am using Swift Key Tablet. I love this keyboard, I also use switfKey on my Droid X.

 

[rmp5s]

Yup...Swift Key Tablet X ftw here. But, for one handed typing on the SGS, it's Swype aaaaaaaaaaaaall day long.

+1 for thumb keyboard, awesome tablet keyboard

+1, except that I started out using stock, used FlexT9 for awhile (but got spooked by their privacy policy) then switched to the thumbs keyboard, then Swype. After the licensing issues, Swype became unuseable for me, so I uninstalled it and switched to the SlideIt keyboard, which I liked, just not as well as Swype. When Swype 3.25 was released, I signed up for the beta program again and now I am loving Swype. On my Droid Incredible, I prefer Swiftkey X, but on my Transformer, I only want Swype.
