It doe's the job but is a bit buggy in that it don't always catch letters as you type them. Can be rather annoying but is the only one of it's type that I can find so will have to do.

THEREGGAESELECTAH Mark Linnett, 2023-11-16Hi guys, can you please make the 1. Sound of the typing adjustable it's too loud in most cases. I use sound and vibrate per key to type faster. That way, I can confirm a mistake made faster while typing. Like, eg, typing once too many... that way, I can jump to backspace faster or to confirm that the space bar button was typed. "low sound and vibrate equals faster typing speed," 2. Fix the vibrate on each tap. 3. Add emojies... to be used in Twitter, YouTube IG, and so on.

Ryan Wilson, 2023-03-20Absolute rubbish. Not sure if it's just Android 13, but it has no predictive text, and no option to enable it. What good is a T9 keyboard without predictive text?
