Ratings and reviews

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.

It provides great functionality, plus the layout is easy to wrap your head around. Also, it comes in a few dark colours, as to not blast your eyes into the abyss at 2 AM in the morning. Edit: I noticed the shift activation is a bit wonky after you type an uppercase letter. This doesn't affect it in a caps-lock sense, but things become highlighted when you use your arrow-keys in that certain direction, plus tab-ing counts as 'Shift+Tab'-ing, making indentions frustrating.

What's new

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