   Hi @Pana-g
   I still can input the slash symbol(/) when using keyboardType: TextInputType.datetime as below sample code on my Samsung device Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, Android 12 OneUI 4.1, SM-T225:

   Sample code

   import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
   
   void main() {
     runApp(const MyApp());
   }
   
   class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
     const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);
   
     @override
     Widget build(BuildContext context) {
       return MaterialApp(
         title: 'Flutter Demo',
         theme: ThemeData(
           primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
         ),
         home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
       );
     }
   }
   
   class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
     const MyHomePage({Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);
   
     final String title;
   
     @override
     State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
   }
   
   class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
   
     void onPressed() {
       showDatePicker(
         keyboardType: TextInputType.datetime,
         context: context,
         initialDate: DateTime.now(),
         firstDate: DateTime(1970, 1, 1),
         lastDate: DateTime(2100, 12, 31),
       );
     }
   
     @override
     Widget build(BuildContext context) {
       return Scaffold(
         appBar: AppBar(
           title: Text(widget.title),
         ),
         body: Center(
           child: ElevatedButton(
             onPressed: onPressed,
             child: const Text('Show date picker'),
           ),
         ),
       );
     }
   }

   Hi @huycozy
   Thanks for your quick response! Using the sample code you provided in a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 10.4 (2020) - SM-T500, Android Version 12 which uses Samsung Keyboard there is no slash symbol(/) option as you can see in the Demo below.

   @Pana-g It seems the issue only reproduces on specific devices as I don't see it on my other devices.
   I also see you filed a PR for this. Labeling this issue for further tracking/investigation. Thank you!
