In the Android app store we have everything and, of course, we couldn't miss the keyboards. We have a wide variety of keyboards with different uses and applications. And we are going to focus on those that have been easier to use and that provide us with more different uses, such as including different stickers to send by WhatsApp. Among them, it could not be missing, of course, GBoard, the multipurpose keyboard from the giant Google; or the classic keyboards, Swiftey and Swype.These are the 5 Android Keyboards on the Google Play Store You Should Try.
Gboard
The keyboard that comes by default in most terminals with pure Android or with a minimal customization layer, such as Motorola Moto, OnePlus or Xiaomi Mi A1. If you use Google as your default browser, then you will be interested in using this keyboard, although in the long run it may bore us, especially if we want to try new things. With this keyboard we can directly search for words in Google; search for GIFs to maintain an original and different conversation; translate words and phrases online; change the keyboard background to solid colors or landscape photos.
In addition, we can insert a shortcut to the keyboard settings, to always have them at hand, a practical text editor with the function of selecting all, moving the cursor, etc.The only thing that we do not have available is the possibility of downloading stickers. To do this, we will have to use third-party applications. This keyboard has the letter Ñ by default and is very easy to use, thanks to its large letters, and the swipe movement (being able to write a word by scrolling the letters of which it is composed without lifting your finger).
If you don't have it pre-installed on your terminal, try it for free, directly, by downloading it from the Android app store.
Cheetah Keyboard – Cheetah Keyboard
A fully featured keyboard with a high rating in the Google Play Store. And also it does not weigh too much, staying at about 13 MB. Its secret: any skin you want to add to dress it to your liking will have to be downloaded separately from the Play Store. The Cheetah keyboard has a appetizing 3D design without that houses a large online dictionary, so you can write not only words but titles of songs, artists, movies, etc. .In addition, the vast majority of themes (more than 3,000) for the keyboard are completely free and are classified by theme. There are those that emulate the iPhone X, cute as pink cats or that welcome the new year.
Of course, this Cheetah Keyboard has swipe typing as well as predictive text that learns from your habits and habits so you have to type even less. And it's very easy to apply the themes: you just have to click on the central icon that appears on the top bar of the keyboard. The first icon is for the settings where we can change everything that occurs to us. Try this 3D keyboard totally free and without from this link of the Play Store.
Swiftkey Keyboard
One of the oldest keyboards along with the Swype keyboard. Now, in addition, we can have all the Swiftkey themes totally free. It supports more than 800 smileys (also predicts them), has many customization features, as well as connect with the cloud (and thus sync the keyboard between your devices) and learn from your writing system to anticipate it.An application that previously had a cost but is now offered totally free for all Android users.
The Swiftey Keyboard application has a weight of 26 MB, so you can download it with your mobile data without suffering too much. However, we always recommend using Wi-Fi for these types of downloads, as they are not urgent.
GO Keyboard
Another keyboard completely free and highly rated by Android users. Its functions include auto-predictive text, support for more than 60 languages, being able to combine up to 3,000 different themes with colorful and youthful designs, as well as including its own packs of emojis, organized to find and dispose of them in a much simpler and more practical way. This app was considered by Google as the best keyboard app released in 2017.
The GO Keyboard app is free but includes ads inside. In addition, it has a weight of almost 30 MB. It is not excessive, although we recommend that you always download them through a WiFi network.
Swype Keyboard
Along with Swiftkey, the longest running and most popular scroll typing keyboards in Android history. This one, in particular, has the honor of being the pioneer, the one that started it all: from then on, writing was going to be much easier than usual. With Swype Keyboard you will have everything you need in a keyboard to be able to write easily and without complications. The application, according to its store description, holds the guinness record for fastest writing, it learns from you on a daily basis to propose words before you that you write them, as well as being able to support two languages at the same time and have a large online dictionary in which it is collecting, day by day, new words to offer you.
