I'm not really feeling the stock Samsung keyboard and I've been searching for a successful port of the HTC/Sense keyboard for the S3 with no luck.

It seems as if I'll have to find a comparable or better replacement. Any suggestions?

(BTW, my phone is rooted so there are no issues with flashing anything.)

Try SwiftKey 3! That's epic keyboard with best word reach speed.

It's radicolous in GPlay and probably best keyboard with international support.

There's something wrong with swiftkey 3 for me.
I could start typing a sentence and it would end up looking like this : The quick brown fox jumped over the fefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefe.
And once I'm in that lock, pressing backspace will just add more. Doesn't happen often but it's annoying.

Quick SwiftKey tip go into advanced settings and lower the time needed for long hold to around 200 milliseconds... Much better. Kinda like a 2 stage button

This happens to me too! Very aggravating, I have to switch input types and that sometimes alleviates the problem.

SwiftKey is the choice for me, using it for a few months and I really can't see myself using anther, I can type super sloppy and still write perfectly.
I can sometimes type without even looking, for short texts or things like that
