Tips:

1. If you experience extreme lag after updating, try uninstalling and re-installing the keyboard again.

2. After changing theme, try to restart the keyboard or rotate the device with the keyboard active, to make the new theme effective.

3. If you experience touch difficulty, try to set the Touch sensitivity settings as High and Neutral.

4. If you experience missing candidates, try enabling the 'Rarely used characters' option of 'Chinese candidates' setting.
