Hello, I tried the PRO 12.2 in a store. Under the landscape mode, the virtual keyboard takes half the screen. I tried the split keyboard under both landscape and portrait modes and found the keys to small. Is it possible to change the size of the keys?

Also, under portrait mode, sometimes the delete or erase key does not work. What is the problem?

Thanks.

You can download another keyboard on the play store, but I think you can't change that on the Sammy keyboard.

The keys are as large as they are for a reason. Touch typing in landscape mode takes some practice but works really well on the stock keyboard and the inclusion of the symbols on the keyboard is fantastic. I highly recommend giving it some time before switching.

Yes you can change it. I dont know how much you will like the results though. try downloading exposed and using the app settings module you can download from there. You can slightly lower the dpi for the keyboard until it hits your sweet spot. It will change the ENTIRE keyboard size though.you can probably go down 20-40 dpi without much negative impact though. Try hackers keyboard and smart keyboard pro as well. Both of those are highly customizable. Smart keyboard lets you do alot with the size.

By the way, just to let you know, I tried the Swiftkey keyboard and it started freezing up my note. I had to uninstalled. I also think the keyboard is to big, I'll try out the suggestions before my comment.

Yup, I tried swiftkey and swipe but ended back at the stock keyboard. Both were buggy for me. I'm starting to wish for the ability to have control over the dictionary for stock.
