Skeyboard lets you make custom layouts for your keyboard on iPad and iPhone, moving and resizing keys anywhere, not constrained to a grid. It allows you to easily type with your thumbs on an iPad while holding the iPad in portrait mode. Layouts can be exported and reimported. Add punctuation and symbols freely to the qwerty layout if you don't want to switch to the punctuation layer. The symbol layer can be customized, and you can customize your keyboard's theme colors as well. Landscape and portrait mode layouts are loaded and saved separately but can be imported back and forth too.
