My Settings for Google Keyboard

First thing what I do is, I tick out the box says ‘Vibrate on key-press and Sound on key-press’ from any keyboard settings. I did the same with this keyboard, nothing more for the settings. There are some nice options in the settings menu, have it your way. If you use German (QWERTY) or French (QWERTZ) you can change the settings from Advanced Settings > Custom input styles. If you are using vibrate on key-press you can test some more options from Advanced settings.
