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

Hit the pre-register button, then see what happens. If no sauce then contact developer using email listed in Play Store. I'd rip the apk for you but it's a paid app. Or hopefully he responds here.

Don't worry, I was pretty much unresponsive as I tuned out of most things Razer. At the time, I didn't want to share that I was speaking to Razer as I thought that would be a nice surprise.

Nice update. I feel like I can use your keyboard over Gboard for once. Two things: how can we change static color and numbers pull too far to the right.

...shows as '''Install" for me.

Not for me, it appears to me like this:

Hi, how or where can I buy the app?, I went to Google Play but the only button available is "Preregister", but there is no option to actually buy it or something.

Thanks a lot in advance for your time and attention. Regards.

Odd. Chroma Keyboard (Early Access) shows as '''Install" for me.

Didn't notice this prior to the last update. Number row is spaced so that the "0" is shifted off screen some.

Thanks for updating the app. Looks like it still is missing a lot of features and is super buggy. If you press the abc key back and forth you'll notice an "s" is between the b and the c

When do you plan the next update?

Sorry I said you were unresponsive. I had no idea you were working with Razer and then communication went silent. I could understand if you got burnt out on the project and decided to take an extended break.

Dear Razer,

Please resume communication with this developer to help him develop exclusive Razer Phone features (such as syncing the backlight). Your customers want this.

Thanks

It's been a while since I've worked on anything "Chroma", but in the last few weeks there has been an explosion of interest in the Chroma Keyboard for Android.

The number one question I keep getting asked is... "Why did I release it on iOS but not on Android? That's backwards, man!"

All I can say is, I've heard you loud and clear, and the Chroma Keyboard is finally here... almost.

Want to see more?

it may look rlly nice, but does it comes with the google features like searching for articles, gifs, translate and so on in the keyboard directly?

Hi all! I would firstly like to apologise for the lack of any updates. My full-time job, and life, got in the way entirely.

So here's the progress update you guys deserve, before I put out the next software update:

Shortly after the last update went live (April), I was contacted by the Razer Mobile software team, who did in fact send me a Razer Phone 2 for development purposes. We had a good discussion about the plans for the keyboard, exclusive Razer Phone features (such as syncing the backlight), but sadly due reasons out of my control, the conversations ended. This was extremely demotivating, especially given how promising the initial conversations were with the team and the amount of effort I was putting into it. I had spent most of my evenings and weekends developing the Android version, I decided that I needed to switch my attention back to other projects and admittedly never got around to continuing development on the keyboard.

You'll be pleased to know, I AM BACK BABY! I have found a new full-time job that won't stress me out constantly and will have more time to develop apps again.

Razer has not approached me to make it exclusive, so until then expect it to be for all devices.

It's currently being tested on a Razer Phone 1, and a few of the testers are on Razer Phone 2. I just wish Razer could send me a Razer Phone 2 so I can truly maximise the performance.

Give this man a RP2 already!

Damn also rocking that Nexus 5 Mockup. Funnily enough I still use my Nexus 5 😃

App hasn't been updated since February. Developer is unresponsive. Keyboard is too beta. It's not a daily driver.

Bought this keyboard. And i love it. But if can be customized and some settings it should be great.

Okay, I surrender my iPhone for this awesome

It looks dead... Sadly.

I already uninstalled. Chrooma Keyboard makes decent one. I might also try this one,

Yes, that one has bugged the hell out of me!

Are you still developing for this keyboard?
T
I'm guessing so. Just like mobile updates.
PrackBraska
Guessing this project is more dead than the Razer Phone 1?

Hey yes still working on updates. It was on hold for a few weeks but picking up development again.

I've got a Trello board so you can keep an eye on what I'm working on: https://trello.com/b/Bxx8i0I9/chroma-keyboard-for-android

How we doing on spelling service disconnects?
