[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LudoGris:
What do you do to capitalize letters on the stock keyboard when you are swiping? You have to touch the shift key, then start swiping. With Swype, I just go to the letter I want, swipe from that key to above the keyboard, then continue swiping. How about punctuation? You have to tap for period, or tap and hold for others. With Swype I just go to the letter with the secondary symbol I want and swipe from it to the keyboard, done. Many other things too that the stock keyboard doesn't have - yet.

Before Goggle decided to "borrow" some design cues for its keyboard, I never thought I'd leave swype (Nexus 5) ir swiftkey (Nexus 7 ). The stock keyboard just works. Don't need the extra gimmicky features of third party apps. It's just a keyboard and it gets the job done.

Stock keyboard has definitely improved a ton. For some reason it does a poor job with autocorrecting the way I type. For me it's still swiftkey #1, but stock is now a solid #2.

On my HTC desire hd I preferred the GO Keyboard because it had much better key spacing than other keyboards I tried and now that I have the N5 I just stuck with it.I don't use any swipe function though so sth like Swiftkey wouldn't be worth it for me.

proly the fastest with LEAST lag when using gestures is the google keyboard, but i hate that stock grey dull colors

if it had iphone theme + top numbers rows i'd switch back (can't belive no top numbers row?) thats a must standard option, esp for texting

im using Kii Premium now with gesture typing

prolly swiftkey has the best gestures and autocorrect right? but still no TOP row numbers? i might try that too lol if and when they implement it

I've used many over the years and has settled on Swype until I got my nexus 5 and gave the google one a go, immediately took to it and only annoyance was the lack of cursor keys. Now these have been added by gravity box it's perfect.

Don't know why people want crappy themes, it's a keyboard so clean and clear is what's called for just like the rest of kitkat and it ticks that box too.

I used slideit keyboard for a while on my nexus 3. Installed it on the N5 too but the original keyboard is so much better, I don't even swipe anymore, I just tap and with this keyboard it's possible to tap faster than anyone could swipe and hit the right buttons at least 99% of the time, i blame my fat fingers for the missing 1%! Nah but i just tap the wrong letter sometimes just as i do with a standard keyboard ;)

The only thing I miss is the arrow buttons, but I just saw someone in the post above me who had added those, I guess I'll give it a try.

Anyway 5/5 stars.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guruehsaan:
The stock keyboard is great, improved alot since. i've tried out switkey, dont like to look of it and does no better than stock, so i choose stock over switfkey. The swype keyboard however is on another level i'd say, got those wicked features such as swype from the icon to letter "a" to select all, swype from icon to "c" to copy and to "v" to paste, these features just make it easier ti type and best of to swype from icon to spacebar and it enters a comma and enters a space. I think this is the first keyboard i'm going to buy.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Coming from a Windows Phone keyboard I don't think the word prediction works quite as well though after some time it does certainly get better. Mis corrections of small words such as is, us, it, etc it can most often get mixed up with almost as if it doesn't take context into account.

Swipe typing is growing on me especially for those longer type sessions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LRC1710:
I love Google keyboard, I bought swiftkey like a year ago and never used it again, its prediction is too aggressive and a lot of times I write "wrong" on porpuse to make a point or express emotion, like adding extra characters or snapping two words together, swiftkey would always try to correct that and it was a total nightmare, Google keyboard ,corrects only what I need and I can type peacefully and reliably, also the swipe function works like a charm and I love the aesthetics of it too, Google keyboard ftw

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Seems so odd to me that the stock keyboard is so popular. It bugs me to no end whenever I flash a new rom that I end up using the stock keyboard for a bit until I restore all my apps and get Swiftkey back. To me, Swiftkey is just superior in every way. Looks, text prediction, style, swiping is more accurate, etc. I can't think of a single feature that I like about stock vs it. But hey, that's why I love Android because there's one keyboard that I dislike more than stock Android - iOS and at least you can choose whatever you want or switch back and forth in a sec or 2 here.

Well swiftkey predictions are way too intrusive sometimes, also I hate the number layout. I like a single row not that phone style numberpad they include, also, their themes suck, the stock one is cool but it doesn't match kitkat's look, the rest of their themes look like they were made in 1990, hideous... Also the sound when pressing is kinda ugly too
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I guess I would agree the number layout leaves a bit to be desired, though my complaint is different as I like to type one handed, am left handed and the keys are set up for easier right handed operation. Luckily I have large hands, so I can't really gripe that hard about it. Looks are definitely subjective. I couldn't care less about it matching the KitKat look because I think KK is ugly (as well as every other stock theme, ever) so that's pretty much the first thing that gets changed on my phone anyway and there's a color combo for most themes I use, or I can just use the black/white one. And I didn't know that people used sounds on their keyboard? Doesn't that get terribly annoying...? But am curious as to what you mean by too intrusive of text prediction?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LRC1710:
Fair enough about looks, totally subjective, and by text prediction I meant text correction* haha, stock keyboard only learns what u want it to learn, Swiftkey does it automatically and it will try to correct everythaaang and learn everything u say, like I just did, next conversation I have I wanna type just the word "everything" and it will correct it to "everythaaang" damn what a pain... It freaking saves text laughter, so if it saves "hahaha" next time I type a longer one like "hahahahaha" it will correct it to the short one, I could go on man, it annoyed the hell out of me with things like this... Lol

I like it, but I still use Swiftkey. If the Google keyboard supported dual language I'd use it. And by that I mean supporting it without having to switch between languages when I wanna use one. On Swiftkey I can set two languages and they're both active at the same time. When I type it just recognizes the language I'm typing in and predicts accordingly which is a neat feature.

Although it seems like such a simple thing, I've never tried a keyboard with an arrow key layout that feels as 'functional' as SwiftKey's. And while I see arrow keys are becoming more common in keyboards/mods, I still have no idea how anyone gets by without them. No, wait, it's probably just because I'm a terrible phone typist..

But anyway, still joining the choir and wondering how the hell SwiftKey doesn't have a top number row yet. I mean, it's got every other gimmick in the world at this point (still rockin' v4.2.1 for that reason).

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidSolstice:
I don't mean to be the odd one out, but I find the AOSP keyboard absolutely atrocious. The last time I really loved it was back on Froyo.

SwiftKey (especially when it learns how you type and what consistent errors you make) almost always nails every prediction and picks said prediction by default. The AOSP keyboard/Google keyboard always seem to propose that prediction for me as one of the right or left ones. I get really annoyed with having to constantly pick it (and I've been trying it for months). I just feel so...sluggish on the stock keyboard. Like, cautious, as though if I dare to type too fast I'll end up with gibberish (which usually holds true).

On top of that, SK has space correctiion, soifIaccidentallytypelikethis, it will know exactly what I meant to say and automatically and seamlessly add those spaces. I can almost type on my phone now as fast as I can on a keyboard, and it's because I can rely on prediction.

The Flow is great, but I only ever use it when I'm one-handed, and that doesn't happen often enough for me to comment. I don't know if any of you have used SwiftKey in a while, but using it after using the stock keyboard is like an absolute breath of fresh air.

For the $3 I paid for it 2 1/2 years ago, it consistently delivers and getting all the numerous point upgrades at no cost is an absolute steal. There's a reason why they're second-most all-time downloaded app (they were the first for a long time before Minecraft came out).

One thing I would recommend if you are a SK user; turn on "Double tap space to add a period". It makes things go even faster.

i hate the stock Kitkat keyboard. I dont understand why it never types correctly for me. it always thinks i "missed" a key and typed backspace and it never sends when i hit send and when I hit space bar it never spaces so my words run together. Basically the keyboard thinks i'm extremely inaccurate i have the worst experience typing manually.

When ever I try to use Swype, so many words are not recognized. like "SUCK".. i cant swype the word SUCK and I have to manually type it. what the heck is up with that even if add it to my dictionary it still doesn't work.

When i type on the iPhone5s keyboard on my wifes phone its perfect every time manually.
