Similar to Godan, but I prefer this one.
FUTO FTW
As soon as FUTO gets a split layout, I'm definitely switching over, if for no other reason than the slider for how aggressive auto correct is. I'm so sick of Gboard constantly correcting the word I meant with one that doesn't make any sense.
Unexpected Keyboard

Available on F-Droid
You can pretty much configure the whole layout. Not sure about gif support though.
SwiftKey for swipe texting
I want to like futo but I think it just needs more time. I'm using Gboard without the Internet access turned on (I'm using graphene OS) so I'm not worried about Google knowing anything I type.
I mostly use the swipe to text feature and I just haven't found another keyboard that does it better than Gboard (unfortunately)
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)
Just recently installed Gboard, because stock Samsung keyboard is so trash it gives me headaches.
I fucking hate Gboard spelling correct feature, it's completely useless. I often ended up google the word (ironic isn't it) to get the correct spelling.
A little context, English is not my native language so sometimes I got trouble spelling some words. For example the other day, I couldn't remember how to spell "aesthetic", I did type in "asthetic" along with a few other variation, but all I got from the "suggestions bar" was "authentic" "asthenic" "asthma" "asthenia".
So I gave up and type "asthetic" in Google and it knew immediately and correct it to "aesthetic".
Yeah it's horrible. Then I turn it off and realize that it's somehow even worse without it.
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 use Gboard. I really want to like the FUTO keyboard, but it unfortunately sucks for typing. Not sure what magic secret sauce Gboard has, but with the FUTO keyboard I basically mistype almost every word. Maybe Gboard has some tap target corrections or something? I've tried pushing through with the FUTO keyboard for about a month, but I think I'm ready to uninstall it. )`:
I appreciate the negative reviews too. Thanks!
I love thumb-key with the two-hands symbols and numbers layout
Wot
It has a number of benefits over a normal keyboard:
- No need for autocorrect since the buttons are so large that it's hard to accidentally press the wrong one
- It's symmetrical so both thumbs can type any letter, so you can type faster, in fact the world record typing speed on a phone was set on a one-handed version of this, i'm sure with the two-handed you can go even faster
- Pretty much everything I need can be hit without switching to another layout (no need for a symbols page)
- The other features of the keyboard are easily accessible, like, copy/paste/select all/undo/redo etc.
It's awesome, it's foss, and not a keylogger like most keyboards.
We need to see a screen recording, with screen touches showing, of you using this...

I'm not very good at it yet I've only been using it for a month or so
Okay that's wild! Props to you for being able to pull that off!
I'm with you. That looks like someone hacking into the mainframe.
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.
What makes it unexpected?
I know you're probably just joking but I'm not actually sure why it's called that. The only thing it does that other keyboards don't (outside of having more keys than anyone would probably need) is that, I'm pretty sure it's the smallest keyboard app for android. It's only 1 MB while the second smallest keyboard I know is the LG Keyboard and that uses a little over 4 MB.
Ive tried multiple ones but I keep going back to Samsung keyboard just because it works so dam well.
