I tried FUTO keyboard out for so long and spent ages contributing swipe data. But its without a doubt the worst keyboard all ive ever used. Kills battery and has bad autocorrect.

I'm using heliboard now and it has no swipe but at least auto correct works well and its good on battery.

You can get get glyde typing with Heliboard but it requires a proprietary library.

I tried really hard to like it, but when I found myself starting to two thumb type instead of swiping, I had to remove it. I don't even use my phone that much, but when I send a text I need to not have to fight my phone to write the words I'm trying to write.
