I also used that keyboard for a short while. Currently, I use 5 Tiles [0]. I can get to 20-30 wpm with it, which is acceptable, though not as fast as a regular keyboard. The killer feature is that it takes up less than 10% of the screen, rather than the ~40% a conventional one would.
Gripes: it's not great for symbol input (you have to remember all sorts of crazy zigzaggy patterns, or pull up a list which defeats the whole point of not taking up half the screen) and auto-capitalisation doesn't really work. But I use it as my regular keyboard and it does the job.

KiiKeyboard had an option to scale down the size of the keyboard, but has since been removed from the play store due to licensing issues related to "emoji plugin" packs downloaded separately
