Hacker's Keyboard is an Android soft keyboard based on the AOSP Gingerbread keyboard that provides a full PC-style layout with number row, punctuation, arrow keys, and working Tab/Ctrl/Esc keys. It supports many language layouts and is especially useful for SSH clients like ConnectBot.

Use cases

  • typing on android with a full pc-style keyboard layout
  • using ssh from an android device with tab ctrl and esc keys
  • getting arrow keys on android tablets without a hardware keyboard
  • typing in dvorak or neo2 layouts on android
  • multilingual typing with many keyboard layouts on android

When to choose

  • you need a physical-keyboard-like layout on android for terminal or ssh work
  • you want a specific layout like Dvorak, Neo2, or AZERTY on android
  • you prefer the classic Gingerbread keyboard with multitouch modifiers

When to avoid

  • you need modern android features like reliable language switching or popup keys
  • you want an actively developed keyboard with current API support
  • you need gesture typing or modern predictive input
