Go to solution Solved by erty176,

If you want bigger keys, you can always turn the phone sideway's and use it in landscape. But, go keyboard has settings to change the size of the keyboard, might try it and see if that helps. Also, something as simple as turning up the vibration duration for key's can help as well. I noticed that with the stock swiftkey vibration setting, I was missing a lot because I had no confirmation that i was hitting the key. I then turned the vibration duration up to 83 ms and began typing a lot better. 83 might seem excessive, but it can't hurt to change them and see if your typing improves.

I like Google Keyboard. 

Not sure if it has bigger keys or something

Default one driving you crazy? Go to keyboard settings (or so), you can change its look there. I think you need to set it to holo blue. That's probably what you want. :)

Does not having a second parenthesis around something bother anyone else as much as it does me? (Like if this statement was missing a second side)
