I'm interested in possibly replacing the VK on my Droid with something that will move faster. I find that at times it seems to be running a bit slow. I do like the the press and hold function (especially for the punctuation), so I hope not to lose that functionality if I do replace it. Any suggestions?
I personally use
Better Keyboard.
Better Keyboard, in my experience, is way more responsive, and the ability to apply different skins is great. Not to mention, the different skins have different key spacing (some, not all). There is, though, a charge of $3 and some change, but it was worth it.
You could also try
TouchPal Keyboard. This one is free, and, imo, is just a notch below
BK. You would need to download
TouchPal Keyboard (Main), and then download at least one language pack (also located in the Market). Its not that bad of an alternative, especially it being free.
Also located in the Market is a new VK that cam out a couple days ago. It is called
Crocodile Keyboard. It costs
