Keyboards

Can anyone recommend a good keyboard? My fingers are a bit on the chubby side and it's difficult to use most if the keyboards out there. What is everybody out there using? I've been going back and forth and always end up the Samsung keypad. I almost always type in portrait.

Thanks!

I use Fingerboard 2.1. My fingers are chubby also. And the keys are a little small, but I got used to it really quickly, and this keyboard has everything you need right there. This is the fastest keyboard I've used. I can't type any faster in any other keyboard. And I've tried all the popular ones.

i use Fingerkeypad 2.1 also. look somewhere in this forum for the new edit of the keys. i forgot where here, but its under one of the keyboard threads. the edit makes the keys larger and get rid of the arrows in the middle of the keyboard.

I've tried out many different keyboards and I still think the stock Omnia keyboard is the easiest and fastest keyboard for me to use.

Well, after a couple tries. I liked the touchpal v4, but they took out the option to edit the text in line, so with out it it was very annoying. Ultimately, the samsung keyboard on the beta rom is finicky but with shokka9's keyboard, it changes the look and puts back the original Roms options. I think i'll stay with it until a better one arrives. Thank you everyone for your input and support. Y'all are wonderful.

Where is shokka9's keyboard? Does it let you swipe up on the keys for capital letters like the original ROM does? That was my favorite part.

I got the rescoe keyboard before I was aware of this site, and it was tons better than the stock offering but still left me annoyed. I got FingerKeyboard from this site and LOVE it. Just wish it did have some of the swipe features like backspace and capitalize. However, I can type so much faster with it that the trade off is worth it.

Use Omega's skins with the FKB2.1!! It rocks!
