FUTO, Thumb-key, and AnySoftKeyboard for me on different devices.

Been using FUTO FOR A CHILW ANF I DONT UAVE ANY COMPLAINTA REALLY

I only have Hacker's Keyboard installed because it's the only one that's stupidly simple while also giving a full standard keyboard complete with function keys and whatnot so I have as much control over remote applications as I do messing with them at home on the actual machine with a real keyboard.

HeliBoard. However for swipe typing it'll take some practice to get used to, it's more sensitive to swipe accuracy and you may need to reset your muscle memory.

God, the autocorrect is horrible nowadays. Hey Google, team is a fucking word. No, I'm not talking about a team. Fucking figure it out.

Heliboard (with closed source swipe gesture library)

Another vote for FUTO keyboard.

Except, the swipe feature really likes to autocorrect to the most outlandish words that have never entered into my vocabulary at any point in my nearly 40 years on this godforsaken planet.

I've been putting up with Futo keyboard for privacy reasons even though it's not better than Swiftkey which has had the best predictions by far and had served well for many years

I said a while back on Mastodon that people don't realise just how bad Gboard is. I don't understand how a company with so many resources sunk into machine learning can fuck up something as bread and butter as a keyboard.

I'm still gutted that Minuum Keyboard never got open sourced. It's the best keyboard I ever used.

FlorisBoard is open source and supports swipe

Thumb-key is also an interesting concept but very different with a higher learning curve

There's no comparison to GBoard. I've tried them all. GBoard is good at everything but specifically it is by far and away the best at text prediction and autocorrect.

Next best is FUTO keyboard.

I'm using AnySoftKeyboard, which is open source and also has swipe controls

I use Fcitx for Android for Japanese typing.

Though, sometimes I still revert to old Mozc Android release, which not updated by Google anymore for more than five years.

I tried many different keyboards but honestly nothing matched up to SwiftKey, now sadly owned by Microsoft, so I locked its internet access using RethinkDNS (or NetGuard)

FlorisBoard with the Material theme.

Tried many, but FlorisBoard's bugs bug me the least, not that there are many. The one feature I wanted was password manager autofill bar, FlorisBoard worked the best at the time and has been solid since. Material theme is nice too.

I didn't realize how bad Samsung keyboard was until now. Id forgotten I never changed it on my phone (I've had my phone for like 5 years) , even though I swapped to Gboard on my Samsung watch ages ago.
