Features & Capabilities

Keybee Keyboard revolutionizes typing on smartphones by replacing the traditional QWERTY layout with an ergonomic design optimized for touchscreen devices. Recognizing that typing with one finger on a mobile differs greatly from physical keyboards, Keybee utilizes a hexagonal key structure to maximize space, enlarge keys by up to 50%, and facilitate intuitive swipe gestures for faster, more comfortable typing.

The keyboard is fully customizable, supporting multiple languages (English, Italian, German, Spanish), themes, and thousands of emojis. Keybee Keyboard is completely free, ad-free, and open source under the Apache 2.0 license, inviting developers and users globally to contribute to its growing community. Designed around usability and efficiency, it transforms mobile typing into an effortless experience no longer limited by outdated layouts.

User Reviews

Users appreciate Keybee Keyboard's innovative hexagonal layout and ergonomic design for two-finger typing. They praise its optimization and aesthetics. However, the app suffers recurring issues with a sticky or non-responsive backspace key, lack of customizable layouts, minimal language support including special characters, and absence of essential features like swipe typing and autocorrect. These limitations hinder usability and adoption despite its promising concept and loyal user base.

Pros

Unique hexagonal keyboard layout designed for two-finger typing, offering an alternative to traditional QWERTY keyboards.
Well optimized and visually appealing interface with potential for faster typing after the learning curve.
Open source nature and long-term user support and loyalty.
Potential for improved typing speed and ergonomics on small screens.

Cons

Sticky or unresponsive backspace key causing significant usability issues to multiple users.
Lack of key remapping or customization options, especially for letter position and layout adjustments.
No easy support or switching for multiple languages, including Russian, Polish, German, and Swiss German special characters.
Missing quality of life features such as swipe typing, autocorrect, spell check, GIF integration, and predictive text.
Limited punctuation options and cumbersome symbol selection with no straightforward way to customize them.

Recent reviews

I've been using this for years and I love it but lately the backspace button keeps either randomly getting stuck and erasing everything or the backspace button doesn't respond at all. I can't even use it anymore. Please fix this :(

YOU GUYS WON'T BELIEVE, I ALREADY USE THIS KEYBOARD FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS NOW since 2018! I like it so much, funny that all people who saw my phone had different reaction to my keyboard. I explain that Keybee is a better built for 2 finger typing than Qwerty that's for 10 finger. ALSO FOR DEVELOPER PLEASE I NEED UPDATE! PLEASE CONTINUE THE KEYBEE!
