Default [REQ] Stock 1.6 Keyboard for 2.2 ROM

After flashing to 2.1 I really dislike the keyboard it came with and miss the stock 1.6 one.

I would donate several beers to anyone willing to port the 1.6 keyboard to my 2.1 device.

Which one does XDA members prefer?


EDIT:
After giving it some thought, my main gripe with the new 2.1 keyboard is no arrows (left and right mostly) and no num pad. Also you have to go into the number area to access the question mark.


EDIT2:
Cypher84 posted a keyboard in another thread linking to a Droid X multitouch keyboard. Look no further, this is the best of the best functionality wise:

What is XDA?

tbh I'm struggling with my limited knowledge of android to see why it's not working..

I've run the 1.6 with the ddms debugger running, it's segfaulting, but I really can't see why it's doing it.

I look forward to this tweak too as I miss the arrow buttons on the 2.1 keyboard. My fingers are a little too big to place the cursor where I want in text fields.

Bump... ...

Has anybody got the 1.6 keyboard working with 2.1 yet?

The official 2.1 update comes out here in the UK on Wednesday and the new keyboard looks terrible.
