Editor Reviews

This keyboard is like your usual one, with number keys, punctuation where you expect them, and arrow keys. It's based on the AOSP Gingerbread soft keyboard and lets you use multiple fingers for the modifier keys. If you use ConnectBot for SSH access, this keyboard is perfect because it has working Tab/Ctrl/Esc keys. And if your device doesn't have a trackball or D-Pad, the arrow keys are a must-have. Plus, you can use dictionaries from AnySoftKeyboard language packs with this keyboard too!

But hey, there are a few problems with the keyboard, you know? Like, they haven't finished localizing all the different layouts, so if your phone doesn't have the right fonts, some languages and layouts might not work. And oh, if you've got an older device before Honeycomb, it's not gonna fully support right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. Plus, a bunch of apps won't even know what to do with those extra keys 'cause they weren't programmed to handle 'em.

The keyboard can handle loads of different layouts like Armenian, Arabic, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, English Dvorak, English QWERTY, English/British, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Lao, Norwegian, Persian, Portugese, Romanian, Russian (both regular and phonetic), Serbian (Latin or Cyrillic), Slovakian or Slovenian or Bosnian or Croatian (take your pick!), Spanish (ole!), Swedish (IKEA-approved), Tamil (for all the Kollywood fans out there), Thai (sawadee ka!), Turkish (merhaba!), and Ukrainian. Quite the multilingual master!

You can find plug-in packages for completion dictionaries. Just check out the 'other applications by this developer' section to see what's currently available. But before you start using the keyboard, it's important to know about the known issues.

Features

This awesome keyboard is perfect for tablets! It's got all the keys you need, including arrows and Esc/Ctrl. No more struggling with those tiny on-screen keyboards. Get ready to type away like a pro!
