What are your thoughts on the best Android keyboard out there? Which one gets your vote and why?
FlorisBoard, hands down. I have tried many keyboards since maybe 2013, and FlorisBoard is the best one yet. It is privacy friendly too.
Trying this out it’s pretty good so far
You’ll love it
I like it. Missing auto correct is an issue, though. Will watch it. 😃
AOSP keyboard. No muss no fuss. KISS

Hold your 'Maters!
I genuinely enjoy GBoard. Now; I get it. It’s not for everyone and it hasn’t got the best…track record.
It does actually surprisingly work very well; and I have yet to see anyone on the FLOSS/F-Droid side of things manage to create a keyboard with similar functionalities. I get that it may be an impossible ask, but it seems like nobody on F-Droid is interested in creating a keyboard inspired by GBoard that actually has all the similar QoL features that GBoard offers.
I think people don’t like it bc it’s made by Google. They are definitely tracking everything typed on it lol

I have a Galaxy Fold 4 so I have both Swiftkey and Swiftkey Beta installed and use a Tasker profile to set the default keyboard to one or the other depending if I’m using the inner or outer screen. I did this so I could have a split keyboard when I’m using the inner screen (because I’m holding the phone with 2 hands and it’s easier to type this way) and the regular keyboard when I’m using the outer screen. It was a little finicky to set up but truthfully I have become so used to it that I honestly forgot that I had 2 different keyboards until I started thinking about it because of this post.
I use Gboard now. I was a long time Swiftkey user but when they added the Bing button and I couldn’t remove it I switched.
I just use openboard lol
Gboard with its access to the internet blocked via RethinkDNS.
Gboard with a ios like style from Rboard Manager
And another one. Does anyone have any experience with Typewise?
I’m still using Minuum Keyboard. I think that QWERTY on a touchscreen keyboard is counter intuitive, slow and cumbersome. I wish more keyboards adopted single line keyboard layouts with fuzzy typing.
I forgot about Minuum! Is that still under development?
Edit: last update was 2017. Disappointing. Now this could be an interesting FOSS project!
Honestly, if someone would clone it and open source of… 🤤
Does anyone have thoughts on Fleksy? Hasn’t been updated in a long time, but typing is quite fast on it. Autocorrect works exceedingly well.
