Good keyboard. But fix the light mode: change the app to dark mode again
★★★★☆Zoey Hewll· May 5, 2026
I downloaded this keyboard for operating Emacs. Modifiers (alt, ctrl, shift) are a must, and custom keys and layouts are a bonus. But until this release, selecting text would change the function of the space bar and escape keys, which interrupted my use of emacs in unexpected ways. That's now resolved! Now my only semi-frequent gripe is that modifiers (alt, ctrl) don't seem to work on already-shifted keys like < and :, but this could just be an emacs problem.

Recently on my OnePlus Pad when I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard this virtual keyboard pops up anyway, and won't stay down. It also seems like I install the dictionary, but it asked me again to install the dictionary. Is this how it updates the dictionary? If that's so maybe it should just update more discreetly without my involvement. Side note: It would be great if when we add keys (like Esc, Tab, ª, and º) to the layout if we could choose what key they go on.

Excellent. Can I maybe request one more input option onto a key to the down right: three-dots? Like this: ... Also, how might it be somehow integrated with a word prediction dictionary?

Plus: "Unexpected Keyboard" has all the buttons required for POSIX apps (such as function or arrow buttons). Minus: Since the last "update", does not follow the option to hide when physical keyboard is used (the software keyboard shows whenever you select some text box, which should not happen when physical keyboards are used).

Dictionary / autocorrect / word suggestions feature is poorly implemented. It only suggests the first word, then does nothing unless backspace pressed.
★☆☆☆☆J.· Jul 31, 2026
The way you use punctuation and numbers is so unintuitive, comma and full stop in weird places, holding backspace doesn't delete multiple letters or words, does nothing, autocorrect tries to change "unusable" into unable, even tho it's obviously trying to be "unusable". Terrible.
