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! 😄

Similar to Godan, but I prefer this one.

While I normally use whatever the default keyboard app is, I do sometimes use Unexpected Keyboard. It doesn't have auto-correct but it has more keys available than even normal keyboards do. It may take some getting used to though as, for example, to use the "alts" for each key, you have to swipe in that direction. So for example if you wanted to press "Esc" with the default settings, you'd press q and swipe diagonally down and to the right.

For customization, I don't know if you can add images or gifs but there is some visual options and you have pretty much full control over the layout of the keyboard and what keys it has.

FlorisBoard Beta. Works and gets the job done. Also has a nice UI.

Samsung default one seems to get the job done just fine

I use anysoft keyboard cause I thought that it was the only foss option at the time and got used to it.

I use Gboard because I can't find another keyboard with good japanese 9 key flick typing.

Mostly Thumb Key, but I'm trying out Heliboard right now thanks to the recommendations here and it's pretty nice. I haven't used a good swiping keyboard for a while.

Just recently installed Gboard, because stock Samsung keyboard is so trash it gives me headaches.

are there any good ones for dyslexics? I hate SwiftKey but have yet to find anything that helps with spelling. I know I can use voice to text but sometimes you don't want speak to your phone in a crowded place.

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