i tried swiftkeyx on my android tablet, with its split layout. couldn't stand it and went back to a full-width layout very quickly.

The split layouts are meant for when you're holding the tablet. If you've got it on a table or such, you're going to find a traditional layout much more usable. SwiftKey has a toggle button for split/solid on the main keyboard because of this.
