Did you know you can turn off autocorrect?
I've been using Swype since its inception and I've stuck with it after it was called SwiftKey and still use it now it's owned by Microsoft.
Gboard is okay enough but I've gotten more used to SwiftKey.

Ill be the lone user of Anysoft in this thread. Its on F-Droid and the playstore. Open source. Came from gboard, but realized that during all of the states banning porn thing I don't want google to know everything I type.
Its customizable and a good replacement for gboard IMO. It was a slight learning curve to be slightly more precise with my typing. Gboard you can just randomly mash and google seems to know what you're going for. I also found the autocorrect to be worse until I added enough of my own slang into the dictionary, but now its fantastic.
I used Swiftkey until I noticed that Microsoft is adding weird shit to it and so I deleted it and now I just use the built-in Samsung keyboard because none of the others will be any better.
I use typewise. It feels like there is more space for every button and i no longer accidentally press the space button
The keyboard itself is great, I just feel like the auto correction keeps doing everything in it's power to fuck up what I typed, more so than before I switched.

I've recently replaced Gboard with Heliboard. The three main things I want in an Android keyboard are as follows:
- Word suggestions when typing.
- Glide typing.
- Not being super creepy about my data.
Hwliboard does all those things and is super customisable as well.
I've seen a few people mention this one so far. How does it stack up against my wants and dislike?

RIP TouchPal
Gboard now (yes it sucks it sends data to Google but it's the best keyboard and works great on my zFlip cover screen)
Arte Romaji Input (Japanese)

Similar to Godan, but I prefer this one.
Keyboard Designer.
It allows me to put the numbers on the bottom row and the space bar on the 2nd row and the backspace next to the L where it belongs.
Whoa so that's like a build your own keyboard app or something?
Yep. Took me a while to get the hang of the editor. There's a lot of options. Best bang for the buck I've spent on an app.
I've been using SwiftKey since like, 2012?
I just like the custom keyboards, and it learns my mistakes when I swipe. I always carry 2 phones, so I was able to sync the 2nd phone so my swipes are already learned on that phone.
Also, there's a snow keyboard that collect snow at the bottom of the screen as you swipe.
Has your autocorrect been getting worse? I use swipe and it seems to be mixing up words way worse than it used to.
Or am I just getting bad at typing lol

Gboard is pretty good. I switched off Swiftkey because Gboard has the lil space bar cursor thing. Swipe typing is pretty great, and the predictions are fine.
I would prefer a non-Google keyboard, but I haven't found one that's easy to install and works the way I want it to.

I use the stock AOSP keyboard. Because it's installed by default on LineageOS.
