I searched back a few months and didn't find to much about people recommending a good keyboard.
So...
Pretty simple what do you use, why and would you recommend it?
Also, I came across this. Do any of you have any information on it?
Google Keyboard. The latest update adds a lot of additional settings; it's fast, free, accurate, and of course from Google! Couldn't ask for much else in a good keyboard.

Like a physical keyboard or app.
Physical keyboard I use a logitech one
Ass for the App I switch of between swype and swiftkey. I like how you can use extensions on swype compared to swiftkey, but I like the accuracy on swiftkey better and the merging of the lanuage into one instead of separate like in swype
My bad, I meant a physical keyboard

I've been using SwiftKey on both phone and tablet, but the poor accuracy on my phone has been annoying lately.

Apple bluetooth keyboard. Extremely light so it's easy to carry, keys feel great, pairs in seconds.

That's my experience as well. It works a lot better on the tablet then on the phone. Probably the keys are to small on the phone...

I use Switkey for the soft keyboard across all devices. For my N10's physical, I use

The keyboard's removable and held in via magnets, and works beautifully

I have that case/keyboard as well. Its a steal for a case and keyboard combothis inexpensive.
I use the HP Touchpad Bluetooth keyboard and gotta recommend it, great shape, nice keys and pretty cheap (I gave £25 for it but seen them just now for £15 on eBay). There are 2 models UK and US spec. Oh and I've had the batteries in there since January so it's all good from my point of view.

I got a Motorola Xoom keyboard off eBay and its been great. Light and almost full size. For some odd reason 2 fun keys are off but for $15 I won't complain.

The HP Touchpad's keyboard really is amazingly good. It's in the same class as the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard in my opinion, and usually a fair bit cheaper. The keys do feel a like they have a tad more "friction" though on the travel.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there also a keyboard/trackpad variant of that keyboard? It looks like it would be an amazing complement to an Android tablet.
As for the Moko case users, they're good (had one on my Galaxy Tab), but I never could get behind the weirdly tiny keys near the spacebar/bad travel, even in such a thin case.

So I just sold my Acer a500 with hopes of getting 32gb nexus 7. But my gf raised a point of, is it worth it since your phone is already almost 5 in. So does anyone else have a large screen phone an still enjoy an think their nexus 7 is worth it? My dad offered me his transformer prime for $300 so now I'm thinking about that since its way improves over my a500.
I really just use my tablet for web browsing an viewing power points an documents for college. So, do you guys think its worth it if you have a large sized screen phone?

Yeah I have a sgs3. I held the 7 last night an the screen looked very nice an fit well in the hand. Just worried about downgrading to 7 from 10 in. But for what I used my Acer for, the 7 seems like it will be fine. Just like I said in my post about it being not "too" far off from my sgs3 4.8" screen.

For me personally the N7 is too small for web browsing, I don't like to zoom in and out all the time. I think that 8-9' is the perfect size, but I don't see Google making it anytime soon, so I'm going to buy the N10 as soon as its available.

There was no WiFi at Walmart where I had it so I couldn't try web browsing. So I can't really comment on zooming in an out. On my 10" Acer I still had to zoom in an out browsing the web. Though it depended what orientation I had it in. Landscape I could read as is, but portrait I had to zoom in a lot.

This seems like such a noob question but I really don't wanna go through with buying a Nexus 10 and it not support using a Stylus. So: Does it support using a Stylus?
I assume it does but stranger things have happened, and I dont wanna be out $400! Really need to be able to use one with this!
It won't support a capacitive stylus like the note but it will support the normal inductive type just like any other tablet...

You switched it around. It'll support a capacitive stylus but it's no where as accurate as the digitizer found in the Note.

i waas searching for a good stylus today with a fine tip (not big round black tipped ones) and i came across jot. I read some reviews and watched videos and it looked really cool but there is a downside unfortunately. It does not work with certain screen protectors as indicated on website including zagg, ghost armor and skinomi. I installed skinomi on my nexus and appearently i am not able to use jot any ideas for a good stylus? i have seen wacom bamboo is good but it does not have fine tip unfortunately

Which keyboard did you buy?
And I'm pretty sure there was a post in this forum where someone was able to get a case with a qwerty slider meant for a gs3 and with a little bit of effort on his part, was able to get the N4 to fit

dont necessarily need/want a case i just a way to attach what i already have onto my nexus
Noticing that SwiftKey takes up a lot of battery believe or not. Just looked in my battery usage under settings and SwiftKey shows up. I think its a little silly for a keyboard to take up that much battery to actually show up. So what keyboard do you all use/prefer?!
Thinking about switching to Kii Keyboard, trying it out now and I rly like it!
EDIT: I wiped all user data from Swiftkey, then restored it using Helium and it hasn't appeared in my battery since then..

Same here, haven't ever seen swiftkey use like virtually any battery! I couldn't imagine not using swiftkey, it's become my favorite keyboard of all time over the years - I type so fast without even looking haha! Are you doing anything out of the ordinary with Swiftkey?

Google keyboard has always worked best. Never even heard of Kii. Never been compelled to try SwiftKey cause Google Keyboard just works.
Swype. Tried stock, AOSP, Swiftkey, Kii, and a bunch of others and have always come back to Swype. I guess I'm getting too old to change.
