Is there a way to turn off the keyboard sound at all?


That's definitely coming! Configuration and customisation for sure.

choock
as for me, gboard is the best keyboard for android and ios with a lot of useful settings such as translator, themes etc.


Yes, Gboard is (was) definitely my favourite on both platforms.

Any updates coming? Keyboard is not usable in it's current state and we haven't had any updates in a month:

keyboard sounds can't be disabled
no number row or click to hold to get 2nd row buttons
keys missing like _
Theme keys at the top of the screen take up space and currently do nothing

Keyboard looks cool to turn on and to show people but that's all it's good for, still using gboard :slightly_sad:

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

Is there no swipe typing? That's probably the biggest make-it-break-it feature for me

Have experienced a couple of bugs/glitches so far. Will purchase the premium version once those issues have been sorted out. Fighting!

Thanks all! There's a great bunch of people testing it and providing feedback. Lots to come in the next update!

I guess you're still working on the spelling service which randomly disconnects?

No swype style input ?

It would have been a great keyboard for my RP1, but now the only thing I want is to sell or throw away this crap of a phone, it's unbelievable forgotten by Razer for almost a year.

Guessing this project is more dead than the Razer Phone 1?
T
I'm guessing so. Just like mobile updates.

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

Are you still developing for this keyboard?

It looks dead... Sadly.

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

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

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

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.


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
