@njbmartin Also the key inputs keep going to the next line (without hitting the enter key) and unintended space and caps lock comes in as well, this happened while i was testing in gmail and the sms/whatsapp ap.

Do let me know if you want anything else to be specifically tested for the Android phones( non-RP phones). Thanks.

Can confirm everything he said using AquaMail.

Unfortunately, this keyboard is difficult to use with email applications.

Hi @njbmartin i got the update on my One Plus 6T (Android 10) for the Chroma keyboard, looks like the keyboard is a little off to the right side with some keys partially hidden. Plus the settings to change the colors etc, does not come up.

It's no longer RP exclusive, but you can download it now and help iron out some of the issues:
I was able to download it now (despite I'm already using this crappy RP1) after registering as a tester and buying the app. Thanks man!.

I'm still trying to work out how I want to display the colour customisation.

Copy the Chroma app color picker.

I'd probability add another option in settings to change static color.

a) numbers still pull to the right off screen
b) pressing exclamation results in '/' symbol
c) how do we change static color. Its red and stays that way.

In addition; the _ symbol returns a % symbol for me.

Are you on Android? On a separate note, what did you think of the guided instructions?

I'm on Android, Razer Phone 2.

The guided instructions were nice. It helps users new to third party keyboards a nice tutorial to set Chroma as the default.

I'd probability add another option in settings to change static color.

That's why, because it never came out to other android phones until now.

Oh, I thought folks here were only Razer owners. What device you running?

I've been working on a pretty big update, so it is going to be released by the end of the month!

It's no longer RP exclusive, but you can download it now and help iron out some of the issues:

Is the big update you're talking about the one from 12 November or is there another update coming later in November?

Hi @CONIN ,

The "pre-register" button shows up for me as well and when i click it, it opens up box which says that i'll be notified once its released.

Its usually seen for multiple apps when its released either Phone/OS/Location wise. So we just have to wait till it comes up for us.

@ThirdTemple Are you using a RP? The app should've been pushed to RP only for now, as per @njbmartin 's posts.

I'm using a Razer Phone 2.

Nothing at all, the button simply changes to "Unregister", and that's it.

What happens when you select "pre Register"?

For me, it still appears as "Pre Register" on the Google Play Store; how or where can I actually purchase it?
