Default Hackers Keyboard on the GNote?

NOTE: I haven't received my Note yet, so I can't test it out. I thought I'd share and see if anyone has any feedback.

This keyboard is usually very good for tablets (it's really nice on my CM7.2 Nook Color), so I thought it might be nice on our Notes, if only landscape.

Let me know!

I tried it just now. Its a pretty awesome concept but I found the buttons too small for the note. I tried 4 row and 5 row setups. I think part of the problem is that I have larger hands.

Yeah, I thought it'd be too small for even our Note. I'll probably install it and save it for a backup because it would likely be good for CMD/Terminal usage with all the extra functions (such as tab and escape). Thanks for the feedback by the way!

I was using Thumb keyboard on the Streak until I started having some significant issues with it. Went to the Hacker's keyboard, and installed it as soon as I got sick of the built-in keyboard not having numbers on it. Been on it for a while now with no complaints.

I use hacker's KB whenever I use a terminal emulator and it works fine. Best I've found on the note so far though is perfect keyboard. Samsung was too damn big, and I like a split KB in landscape usually.

Word.

Ive tried a few keyboards so far and Perfect Keyboard has been my favorite. it has a nice ICS feel to it, and does the split keyboard in landscape like i was hoping.

I will try this Hackers KB tho, but Perfect Keyboard has been my Daily Driver for a while.
