To all keyboard lovers. What if you can design your own keyboard on iPad and view it in 3D/AR? This app provides such an experience. You may also deploy it as a iOS keyboard. First, make a base keyboard via new keyboard menu. You may select keyboard type(monolithic, separated), layout(US, JIS), colors(cap, switch, keyboard), click sound(switch type), cap type(standard, chiclet, typewriter), etc. Then you may move/add/delete keys via drag/drop or change each key settings via property menu. Bulk config menu for keys allow you to change properties of keys which have the same settings with selected key. Property menu allow you to change properties of selected key, keyboard, or desk. When you complete settings, you may view it in 3D/AR mode. Or you may test typing in typing mode. Your keyboard can be deployed as an iOS keyboard extension to use in other iOS apps(You need to add KB Designer keyboard in General>Keyboard panel of Settings App.). Setting menu is in system setting menu. To deploy to iOS, switching keyboard key(assigned to Caps Lock key) is required. Interference of keys also checked. iOS keyboard won't play click sound since it doesn't request iOS full access. So that you may use it without worrying about data leak. Sizes are precise on iPad Pro 12.9 in. On other devices, objects will be displayed in smaller size.

Both are free to download. KeyboardKit sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Keyboard Designer AR asks for nothing beyond the download.
KeyboardKit holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KeyboardKit has 83 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Keyboard Designer AR's written reviews are positive against 52% of KeyboardKit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Keyboard Designer AR ships an update every 3 weeks, KeyboardKit fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
