An everyday keyboard with a point of view.
The keyboard is on screen more than almost anything else on a phone, and it is usually a grey slab. Hacker Keyboard is an everyday Android keyboard for people drawn to the hacker, cyberpunk and gamer aesthetic.
It renders a standard QWERTY layout over a themed background or your own photo, with controls for dimming, key opacity, key text colour and font. The keyboard itself makes no network calls.
Who it is for.
Aesthetic fans
People into the hacker, cyberpunk and Matrix look.
Gamers and streamers
Matching the phone to an RGB setup or a stream overlay.
Personalisers
