I use multiple keyboards. The sony XPeria keyboard is my favorite -- I think it's just a reskinned Swype, with just enough customization to edge out stock Swype. I also use "hacker's keyboard", which is basically a PC keyboard shrunk down to phone size. It's useful to have number and special characters and keystrokes when logging into Unix/Linux servers, though I'd never use it to text. I agree, the stock (and 4.2) google keyboards are awful.

On Android I prefer Swiftkey. Swype never "clicked" in my brain for whatever reason. stock is OK, but...

On iOS I don't have any problems on the iPad but I really hate typing on my old tiny 3.5" iPod Touch.
