Hello,

Just noticed this the other day as I switched from Heliboard to Gboard. I have the same vibration settings on both (30 ms), but Gboard just feels more responsive, while Heliboard feels kind of clunky.

Does anybody experience the same? Can anything be done about it?

    Heliboard also has weird bugs such as scrubbing through text with the space not working sometimes, even duplicating letters at times. But overall it works great.

    To answer your question with another question: Heliboard isn’t the same code base as GBoard, isn’t it? Which means that it might have some kinks to iron out to feel more responsive.

      Well, indeed. I was just hoping that someone expert on the intricate inner mechanisms of GBoard could have explained why the comparison is so striking
