I agree with you

I've used all of them except for Zoomboard (in my relentless search of the best keyboard), and here is how I ranked them.

SPB Keyboard: (5th)
Nice and big, but text input area is too small for my liking and I use my hardkey for rotating to landscape+camera.

Resco Keyboard: (4th)
Didnt really seem responsive to when I pressed the buttons, but it had some nice skins and the buttons were decent sized.

PocketCM Keyboard: (3rd)
I liked PocketCM keyboard mainly because of the skin I found for it, that made the buttons pretty big (IMO) and it seemed to respond to finger taps a bit better than Resco. Here is the link to the Skin I was using http://igg-soft.com/en/pcm-gray2.html

Touchpal Keyboard: (2nd)
I absolutely hated the the standard qwerty keyboard on this and it also really doesnt support landscape (just shows the same portrait keyboard in landscape). HOWEVER, the T+ input almost completely makes up for all of this. It's quick, not that hard to get used to and I could probably eventually get better at it than using a regular full qwerty.

Touch Diamond Keyboard: (1st)
I felt this was the most response of all of the full qwerty keyboards and I felt it had the biggest keys to press (besides SPB Full Screen). Overall I am pleased with this keyboard the most out of all of them and will probably switch between this and the Touchpal one occasionally.
