User Reviews

Reviewers praise Keyboard Designer for its powerful customization and broad Unicode support, making it ideal for creators of constructed languages and users who want complete control over their keyboard. The ad-free experience and a substantial set of features available for free are also highlighted. However, many users report a steep learning curve and a confusing, sometimes overwhelming UI, with particular difficulties adding or removing keys from layouts and finding/using emojis. Several reviews note that advanced features often require paid extensions, and that guidance or in-app help could improve. Overall, it's compelling for power users, less approachable for beginners.
Pros
  • Extensive customization options for keyboard layouts, keys, and fonts.
  • Strong Unicode and symbol support, useful for constructed languages.
  • Ad-free experience with many features available for free.
  • Thoughtful, user-centered design and empathy toward users' typing needs.
Cons
  • UI is confusing and has a steep learning curve; not beginner-friendly.
  • Editing layouts (adding/removing keys) and discovering settings is not intuitive.
  • Emoji access is limited or missing; emoji list not easily available.
  • Many useful features are behind paid extensions or may require extended packages.

Very clunky design experience, designing would be better if there was a thing similar to windows character map and you could just select a character and it would be organized like character map, but at least it sort of got the job done

PUT IT BACK. The "new" automation is garbage and takes the place of a correction list that actually worked. e.g. "stresm" doesn't have "stream" ANYWHERE in its correction scroll. instead we get an attempt at learned behavior "next word completion" that offers me misspelled words I'd gone back and fixed, markup punctuation, & emoji I'd used Once. also, using punct e.g. "." after an auto-added space no longer jumps that "." before the auto space; instead it smashes the previous two words together.
