Looking for a better keyboard

The Samsung keyboard is seriously getting on my nerves so I'm looking for keyboard recommendations. Please post what keyboard you use and what you like/dislike about it. Thanks!

gingerbread free keyboard from the market is the best ive found, only thing is the letters dont have symbols like ? ! on them, but I can live with that for free

My new favourite keyboard is Perfect Keyboard! It is exactly as the name implies. Perfect.
Regards.

I love swiftkey x beta. Its proper nice

+1, free until beta expires in August.
Other good keyboards are Thumb keyboard and Smart Keyboard both of which I've used as well.

I perfer Smart Keyboard. Quite costumizeable. Try it and buy the pro version if you like it!

I'm new to swiftkey x beta and liking it a lot so thanks for the heads up.
But.... the correction and suggestions don't work in the stock email app which is a bit of a bummer. Its sooo much better than the stock samsung keyboard.
Might go ask on the swiftkey web page if no one here has any quick and easy fix.
Edit: Found this is common for after market keyboards on the i9100 email app Have also sent question to swiftkey
Wish there was an easy way to change the keyboard when in an app without going to home screen. On my i8000 running froyo i used to be able to hold the settings button the keyboard and the keyboard choices came up. Any way to access the choise of keybaord easily??????

SlideIT ftw.

+1 on that. It's simple and does what it's supposed to do well. Plus, if you search the I9000 forum, you'll find some nice skins, yes it's free and you can change the skin color!

Seeing as everyone here post something different,I will post about my favourite.GO Keyboard.Nice,customizable,easy to use,accurate and has some pretty handy long-press shortcuts I really appreciate it.I don't know how it does with auto correction as I hate it,but other than that,it's brilliant!

Smart Keyboard has been my favourite for quite some time now. Plus I like the keyboard being a little longer as I find I hit the '.' so many times on the samsung keyboard and others. Its got a very good intuitive learning dictionary (think you have to turn it on first in settings).

Smart keyboard is great and has a lot of customization to it.
Personally love Swift Key. Can pretty much type a message only using the space bar.

Swype... What more could a human need...

My opinion atm is: Swiftkey X beta > SlideIT > Swype

I personally like Smart Keyboard pro the most. Also the gingerbread keyboard is good but not that good.
I don't know about Skype. I am trying to learn it but somehow it just seems bad..so slow and annoying. Just more practice needed?

+1 for smart keyboard. Tried the different keyboards when I got my nexus one and just felt that the smart keyboard where right for me. It has the feature that makes iPhone keyboard so great that it makes the letters bigger by prediction of what word you are typing "behind the scene"

Please help me find this SMS look :)

Alright, so I have been using so many roms lately and I remember that one of them had a real clean SMS / mms layout and if anyone could help me find it I would be greatly appreciative!
It had a dark grey background and blue and white message back grounds. BUT each of the mesaage back grounds looked like post-its with a corner turned up. I really want the apk so of anyone can direct me to the ROM that would be awesome! Thanks

Best Keyboard

Can anyone give me suggestions for a great keyboard? My fingers always hit wrong keys and need one that can be a bit bigger in portrait mode. Any suggestions would be great. Please add links to the downloads should I want to try the keyboard. Thank you.

I use SwiftKey. Don't have a link, but easily searchable in the Play Store.

I have used SwiftKey for some time now; installed it once and never looked for anything else.

Mine was an apk. You didn't have to flash. And the 4.2 keyboard isn't much different than the 4.1. It just has swype features now and better correction.
Galaxy S3.

I actually was in the ROM itself. Thanks guys. Mods close thread

AOSP Keyboard Next Word Prediction

Hi all. I have noticed this problem in ALL the custom ROMs I have used. Yet I searched the forums and got no solution.
The next word prediction does not work in the keyboard. It only worked for me in the stock rom. How do I fix this issue?
Please someone help

Yes of course I will wipe before installing. I did not get your second sentence.

What about trying SwiftKey which is far superior over the stock keyboard?

Thanks for your suggestion but I wanted a solution to the problem not changing the keyboard altogether
And I hate the numeric keyboard of SwiftKey and the themes are outrageous.

I like SwiftKey but I do hate that numeric keyboard, and you're right about the themes. They first of all don't offer many, and the only one (IMO) that's decent or good is the default one.
