Have you ever heard of Cafe keyboard from Samsung’s app store? It’s very similar to it, but here there are effects that… Make you feel like your phone is on steroids, and in a good way.

Effected Keyboard 2 feels convenient when you press the keys with its gentle feedback (if you disabled heavy animations), it feels more mature and natural with its look and feel, has multiple languages, easy gestures that trigger useful features: if you swipe left from spacebar you have two different layouts of symbols, on swipe right from spacebar you change language and on swipe up from spacebar you get a mini popup keyboard where you can find undo/redo, select text and copy/paste with a clipboard. Sounds familiar?

Effected Keyboard 2 is based on Anysoftkeyboard and has been developed on top of it since 2013(!) It has some paid features, even though to be honest I really tried to not be greedy with them. There are 3 packs, $5 each - basic one with themes and simple effects as you type, flying letters one - which pops flying letters from the keyboard to the app itself and the immersive effects which blow the minds of your friends when you show it them.

Effected Keyboard 2 is an app for Android, even though with its tiny touches such as the round corners (which are everywhere) it reminds me an Apple product.

Comparing to Anysoftkeyboard, Effected Keyboard 2 has a new set of Emoji which look more stylish. It has additional themes. And its function keys are more of Gboard styles, with an option to wider spacebar or a bit shorter one in favor of additional punctuation keys in the button row.

Effected Keyboard 2 might not replace your keyboard completely since it doesn’t have the AI typing predictability and AI level of spelling correction. But! And that’s an important “but” — this keyboard is all about a different experience and just like a trip to Eurodisney where you would like to stay for a couple of nights, but not to live there forever, then same here with this keyboard. It deserves any bit of attention it’d get from you.
