Better landscape keyboard?

I need a better landscape keyboard. I am currently using SPB Keyboard (not in full screen). I really like the keyboard, but the buttons are just a touch too small. Maybe there's a skin for it that makes the buttons larger? I checked the SPB skin site and a lot of the skins say "This skin is not adaptive." What's that mean? Will they work with WQVGA? I can use it full screen and make the buttons larger, but then I can't see what I'm typing. No good.

I've tried Resco Keyboard too. But, until just recently, it didn't work right in Landscape on WQVGA. Now they have a couple of skins for it, but they still aren't that great (buttons too small).

Also, I kind of like PocketCM's keyboard. Pretty basic though.

What I am after is a keyboard with large buttons and the "space bar" in the middle. It feels more natural to me. Idealy, the Samsung Keyboard with Space in middle would work I think. Something like the Eternity's keyboard would be PERFECT! Here's the Eternity's keyboard...


Large buttons, and a space in the middle, while still allowing enough room to see what you are typing. Perfect!

Any thoughts / suggestions?

No I haven't. I'll give it a try. Not sure I like the arrows in the middle of the screen though...

Re: Better landscape keyboard?

There are easy enough mods to remove those arrows.

Re: Better landscape keyboard?

I got FingerBoard2 from XDA and I really like it. Especially with a couple of the mods at Modaco. Now, has anyone figured out how to make it vibrate with key presses?

I thought about that. I was just wondering if there was a way without using TR.
