I redesigned the English Keyboard for M8 based on IOP

I think there must be a better choice of M8 English input keyboard than the currently official IOP edition.so I redesigned it.please everyone give your opinion about it.



Number input interface

A bit better. However, I still prefer the QWERTY keyboard system as that is so much easier to use, and more familiar to everyone.

Yeah I agreed with you that QWER is the best choice,but the screen of M8 is only 3.3 inch,even smaller than the iPhone's,and it probably can't have the feature of enlarging letter your finger touched-Just like the iPhone's,so it must have larger keys than iPhone's for the smaller screen.Then we can understand that why M8 bring us IOP keyboard.

Personally I think my resign is a little better than the official IOP edition，it‘s more close to QWER keyboard than IOP.

i think the original one better(only few letters are out place)

You could always have two options like the iphone, where you can tilt your phone sideways and the screen will change to landscape mode. Longer screen for QWERTY keyboard.

The original has 5 letters out place- I,O,P,K & L,my redesign has only 2-N & M,and the two of them are still in the same line next after B.
QWERTYkeyboard was not designed for one-hand input,both original and my redesign are based on it.they still need two hands to input,the less letters change their place,the less time you need to adapt.

Why not just make it universally usable and use a QWERTY styled keyboard? -_-

Isn't the IOP based thing you supposedly "redesigned" already posted on Meizu BBS?

I think that who will use a lot the keybord so he will use to use it..

Because the letters would be too small and you wouldn't be able to type anything. The screen is smaller than that of the iPhone so the letters need to be bigger to ensure that we can use it easily.

@ iN10Se: I like the number reconfiguration but the letters should be left alone.

Secondly. They should definitely allow us to flip the screen sideways and text. Perhaps that could even reinstate the much loved QWERTY arrangement.

I think I could get used to either keyboard setup, but would miss the familiarity of a QWERTY keyboard. I just realized, is the M8 goin gto have the tilt to landscape functionality of the iPhone?
