Best keyboard for Android?

[marat569]

I'm currently using the keyboard that comes with Cyanogenmod (not bad), but wondering what is considered the best.

 

Money is not the issue, feel free to recommend paid keyboards. 

 

Please post the name, and why it's good. 

 

Also just a quick thing: I don't like anything that has to do with swiping to type.

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: I don't like both Swiftkey and Google Keyboard. So far Cyanogenmod's ASOP keyboard is the best I've used. 

 

Also I've tried Swype before, meh.

I use and recommend Swiftkey. You can turn off Flow which is the swipe function that you don't like to use.

Google Keyboard and Swiftkey are the only ones I personally use.

Google keyboard is the one that comes with Cyanogen right?

I'm going to try swiftkey right now.

Google Keyboard FTW.

Also, swipe typing is so much better than pecking.

I personally prefer to just use the AOSP version. I'm not too big of the aggressive autocorrect that flesky and swiftkey offer.

Nope, that's ASOP Keyboard.

technically it's the AOSP keyboard, which is just the google keyboard that came with the OS. I don't know if you will receive updates with it like the google keyboard however.

I prefer Google Keyboard over SwiftKey. I just can't get used to the numbers layout of SwiftKey.

What does "ASOP" stand for? 

[marat569]

Also having multiple keyboards won't hinder performance, only the one I select in options will be running, right?

 

edit: i hate swiftkey

What does "ASOP" stand for? 

AOSP... Stands for Android Open Source Project. led by Google, they release the source code to anyone who wants to develop their own variation of the Android OS. ie. Samsung's TouchWiz, HTC's SenseUI or the popular 3rd party CyanogenMod etc are based on AOSP builds

Ahh. Then you won't like CM12's keyboard as it's essentially Google Keyboard.

I have the latest stable CM (CM11) available for my phone (t-mobile S3 LTE)

 

Do you have a higher end phone or using a beta version?
