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.

    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 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 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.

    Swype is the only good one.

    And it’s dead. Well, unless you saved the apk, and only until something in android breaks it

    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.

    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!
