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! 😄

    Nice. That’s actually even more customizable than I need. How does it do with the correcting correctly spelled words thing?

      I had the same dilemma. Switched to HB and added in FUTO voice to replace Googles voice to text. SO doesn’t like that it doesn’t learn like Swiftkey does, but I like it because you can set it’s aggressiveness of the autocorrect.

        I’ll have to check this one out I think. Lots of people in here recommending it. I’m guessing it’s not on Google play?

          I install directly from the developer’s GitHub using Obtainium. However F-Droid is probably the more common method.

            Is Fdroid like a third party app store app or something? I see people talk about it a lot on here but I don’t know what it is.

              That’s exactly right. It’s a third party app store for free and open source software.
