I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

  • Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
  • Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

  • It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type “our” and it changes to “out”, I recently typed “purpose” and it changed it to “purple”. Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! 😄

    The amount of people on here that are okay with a corporation phoning home everything you type is a bit scary. Googles Gboard and Microsoft’s SwiftKey are a privacy nightmare. Check out FUTO: https://keyboard.futo.org/

      Alright let’s try this keyboard out. Works pretty well, swipe not great for anything with a mostly horizontal pattern (“swipe”) or anything with a double letter. Just gotta tweak some functions like hold times and delete button functionality. Of course the swipes need to learn my patterns, at least I hope they will.

      Major point deduction for not having keyboard support for my second language. And the delete function removing the entire last word when swiping makes it actually infuriating
