Ratings and reviews

So I tried five of these things and this is my pick for sure. Arrow keys at the top are chunky and easy to click. Tab and ctrl are just one click. And the whole thing is customizable. Layout, size, shortcut keys. My *one* gripe is that I can't change the placement of "Sym" to be where "Ctrl" is. I'm constantly pressing ctrl because that's where symbol keys are mapped on my phone normally. And I'd love it if I could just switch those two around. I think it'd feel way more natural/ intuitive.

This is not a perfect keyboard but it offers cut/copy/paste and undo/redo, all at most one keypress away, which is shockingly hard to find on Android. I would suggest to the developers to throw themselves into this thing and really make it something. In the meanwhile, it would be nice if the top bar was customizable, or at least had the undo/redo available at the top level.

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.
