Diamond Keyboards

[MightyMike]

Hey guys, hope you can provide some insight on this topic.

I'm looking for a good diamond keyboard to replace the stock version. I find tha with the stock "full qwerty" (i cannot get used to the compact qwerty) i find it hard to get the corner buttons while typing. Letters such as "A" become difficult to press and i find myself poking at it wiht my nail just to hit the letter, which is very frustrating while trying to blast through a text message or email.

SPB Keyboard : i don`t like this one becuase its FULL SCREEN... i`d like to see my screen somewhat

Resco Keyboard : Seems like the best choice, although the default skins are poor, and it sucks that u have to ALT in order to get to numbers or periods

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401274

someone made a resco diamond skin, although it doesn`t work. all the letters dont align with the keyboard, has anyone gotten this to work.

Im currently using the vito zoomboard, but find it crampt at times to type

Anyways.... what are you guys using for ur keyboards i would like to know what works best for you and what you think.

thank you so much!

I DO NOT understand why they designed it to where as you have to ALT in order to use a Period. Just plain STUPID. If it weren't for that, I'd use it. Instead I use the PCM keyboard with the iphone skin.

i did a quick google on pcm keyboard with the iphone layout and saw some posts on xda... it involves alotta install this, do this do this ... is that the general way to do it or is there an easier way that you`ve done.. care to share the files, i`ve noticed its freeware

[MightyMike]

hmmm, i downloaded the pcm keyboard and one of htei phone skins, althogh, without even installing the skin, the keyboard doesn't even look right. the background image of the keyboard is all screwy... what version are u using? can u post the cab?

you dont have to hold alt to do a period. just simply hold the button for like 1 second and it changes into a number or a symbol or what ever.

i hope someone makes a really huge keyboard skin as big as iphone for pcmkeyboard
especially made for diamond. That would be nice.

When you change the phone skin for some of the keyboards, you need to change the layout to match the skin. i.e. match iphone skin with iphone layout.

You REALLY should give Touchpal a try... Most of us in the Touch forum use it and it's AWESOME.

I use TouchPal and it is perfect for me. You have to get used to it, but once you do, it is very nice.

It supports VGA too...

hey guys so I tried touch pal and it seems petty good although how do I quickly put periods after a sentence . rather than holding down with the g and h button ? it allows u to type pretty quickly as well !
