How To Enable/Disable Gboard Floating Keyboard On Android. On-screen keyboards are getting close to replicating the physical keyboards we’ve grown accustomed to (thank you Nokia and Blackberry!). However, since phones have gone all-screen, we’ve become reliant on on-screen keyboards, which have advanced far too quickly. Swiftkey and Gboard have set the standard very high, and owing to regular updates, the apps are getting better and better, with new features and faster performance.
