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?
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
A bit of necromancy is always appreciated. I second handed some learning about Android APIs and especially rumble. It’s really scattered and for a very specific vibration you have to basically go very low and code it yourself.
Which might be why Heliboard isn’t as polished as Google Board. They might be using simpler API and Google might be using its engineering for a perfect feeling.
