A lot of people like the default keyboard. If you prefer something new, I'd recommend you trying SwiftKey X (paid version):
SwiftKey X on Android Market
EDIT: I think there is a free version for testing purposes.

In my opinion this one.

gingerbread keyboard

I tested many keyboards and for me Smart Keyboard Pro is the best, many customization options and less ram consumption.

Best keyboard....

So this is my first phone that doesn't have a physical keyboard and I'm having some trouble. I came from both Droid one and two and the LG touch so I have always had a physical keyboard and now without one I'm somewhat lost. So please anyone with a keyboard app recommendation please speak up!
P.s. I have big hands and tend to hit the wrong key because of that.

Swift key. It learns as you type. Once using if for a while it predicts almost everything you are going to type

I use flext9 because you can swipe the keyboard or use the keys normally, way smoother than swype IMO.

Definitely swift key! It's so good at predicting your words that some times it feels like it's reading your mind.

I've been using the gingerbread keyboard found in market. I find it fast and accurate.

+1 for swift key.
Well I already had swift key from it being the free app of the day so I loaded it up and started using it again and so far so good everything is at least better than the stock htc keyboard so I'm at least happy about that.

+1 been using this one as well and I love it. its called "keyboard from android 2.3 +" in the market. when installed it shows up as "gingerbread keyboard"
+1 for flex t9 if you like swyping or swift key for just regular keyboard use. Although t9 can do both, just doesn't predict.

+2.. I use the paid version, so I can bring up the directional arrows as needed. At $0.99 it isn't bad.

+3 lol paid too, deff worth it.
Keyboard from Gingerbread 2.3
There's a free and paid version. Best keyboard available.
+4 for gingerbread keyboard
i love how fast it is
I've also been using the gingerbread keyboard from the market for a while now (even back on my Droid X) and I love it.
I have used swype, swift and the GB keyboard.
For texting, landscape or portrait they are great.
The problem is for emails. Once you lay the phone over to landscape and start to type an email, the kbd takes up the whole screen. Is there a way to shrink the keyboard say 20% or so?
I got Gingerbread, the paid one
I had the G2, and Swype sucks on a bigger screen in comparison, not to mention Thunderbolt doesn't even come with it. I downloaded it and said wtf is this. Idk if its the screen or just not being pre-installed
I use the HTC_IME keyboard

Swype for Tab 2

I saw it somewhere.... used it.. wiped and lost it. I cannot find it. Anyone have a linking for it or a working APK? Thanks.
Here ya be.....
[COLOR="Red"]MOD Removed link[/COLOR]
Xda has been told not to link swype.apk and to use their www.beta.swype.com/ since its free to sign up and get updates.
Appreciate it.. reflashed it and totally forgot to save the working one I had.
Just in case someone needs it. Heres my original post with the working swype apk.

Try setting swiftkey portrait and landscape key height to large. I use the one for phones, and and it works fine. Almost as good as the keyboard on my playbook . The settings are under advanced.

Yeah am in the same boat, what are we doing wrong? Do I need to root the tab first?
It didn't work for me either, says screen res is not supported.
Looks like its a waiting game...

I hope they will release an update soon.
Personally, I would like to use swipe in portrait, and swift key in landscape. I really wish someone could port the blackberry playbook keyboard though, that one is great .

I've been using Thumb Keyboard for a while now and it works fantastically, you can setup different keyboard layouts for portrait or landscape with lots of themes and custom settings (like height and width of the keyboards as well, not to mention custom letter combos) Its great!

What keyboard are you guys using ?

As what the title said, what keyboard are you guys using ?
I'm currently thinking to make a new theme, be it 2.3 or cm7.
And I would like my theme blend in your keyboard as well.
So please leave a reply on what keyboard are you using.
Thanks.

I'm using Swype BETA. beta.swype.com - REALLY good. But I'll give a try on the swype mode of GO Keyboard.
I'm on smart keyboard. It's the most customizable one, it can work just as you like.

which keyboard/keyboard version is better for X8?

i am seeking a good recommendation HERE!
before u guys run at me i need to say that i already used the SEARCH
hay guys i know every ROM didn't include advance keyboard! and they include just default input and Android keyboard.
but i want to use more advanced keyboard and mind predicting keyboard like Swiftkey and Toucpal.
but i know X8's CPU is not well when comes to process those heavy task's and my X8 crashed several
times when using Swiftkey 4 latest its crash,completely slow down my X8. its a PAID version get from
my brother for free! hehehe shared.
and another weird thing is i can't found Touchpal(a famous keyboard) in Playstore
and also searched for APK but not found a proper version! all in CHINESE
or
any other keyboard recommendation welcomed. specially for Stock users X8
Touchpal is an excellent keyboard..
works like butter...
if you cant find it in playstore then it would be better to search in the google for apk..

yeah man! i already searched for APK but can't found a proper and latest version because i downloaded
one it completely for Chinese edition.
WHY THEY removed from playstore?? i found it before and now i can't see the app just themes related
to the keyboard
then our X8 screen is small its hard to type and always not touches the correct world.
because my fingers are bit bigger

help people who are in need,
crate few useful guides and then you are eligible to the recognized contributor..
and for putting GIF in your signature..
first find a GIF that you want to make your signature.
now go to the edit signature option and select the post image URL option.
now post the link of the GIF there and save it.
it should work even if you are not a RC. .
