Ratings and reviews

I like the layout but the lack of force feedback or even any animation makes it impossible to be 100% sure that my character was recognized without constantly checking what I am typing. Also when using this with Notepad ++ the Shft key acted erratic. It would stay on sometimes then it wouldn't work at all other times. I don't notice that problem now though. 5/5 if it had force feedback.

Basic but functional for entering everything you'd ordinarily enter on a desktop keyboard. My favorite part is the several rows of customizable symbol keys. On my Razer Phone 2, it is affected by a bug that affects most other custom keyboards too - the navigation buttons don't work when the keyboard is active in split screen. I appreciate the "hold Space to switch" workaround in this keyboard, even though it's not (yet) marked.

Updated: Autocorrect not working in A10. Excellent, for the most part. I *love* that I can make such drastic changes. I wish it had autocorrect beyond highlighting (cannot recognize words written with a typo punctuation in them like pota*o) to let me manually choose the right word. I wish I could make the space bar larger (wider), and add gaps between the keys. Still, it is remarkable, and mostly worth the effort. I am not coding with it.

What's new

Updated target Android version to 34, and included a possible workaround for the notification.
