It helps with the dropped keys, because it has a hardware keys predictive text feature. I love this keyboard, and I've had it less than 10 minutes.

I really liked this keyboard! I happened to find another keyboard called FlexT9, it has other awesome features too but one downside is it costs $4.99 USD. Plus it looks a lot better too.

During the early TouchPal beta installing this would drop the function and shift key functionality in the hardware keyboard. (makes them not work) Can anyone confirm if this still happens, or has it been patched?

Been patched. Using the hardware keyboard right now, because TouchPal has a prediction for it, so skipped keys matter not anymore.

Am I the only one that thinks Swype 3.0+ is better? I'm trying really hard to like it but I can't help but feel like I'm typing significantly less efficiently.

Idk, I have no problems with either. They only thing I need to get used too, is that TouchPal adds a space when entering a word with the comma key, or period. I barley have to use the space bar, which is good, I'm just not used to it.
