The default Samsung keyboard is ass.... Suggestions for a new keyboard? What's your favorite on Android? (lemmy.ca)

Finally dumped SwiftKey after being served with an ad for OneDrive inside the fucking keyboard itself. I'm still pissed they sold-out to Microsoft. (Been using it since long before that acquisition)

Now I need something to replace it, but I've not explored other options much.

This is really trippy, just today I also got pissed at Swiftkey for the onedrive bs. I've just installed HeliBoard after many recommendations I on other threads.

So far it works really well but took me some time to set up how I like it. I'm getting used to having 0 typing data though and it not autocorrecting my awful typing so I have to type out slower and more back tracking to fix my fat thumbs pressing the wrong letters.

Heliboard

HeliBoard free and open source

[–] BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

well, GBoard is definitely the best,

but I use heliboard because it's open source.

Heliboard is excellent

[–] bigbangdangler@reddthat.com 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

+1 for heliboard.

GBoard has good recognition, but I'd rather my keyboard didn't just siphon off whatever I type.

[–] overcast@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 hours ago

this. HeliBoard is quite good, it even has theming options to make it cute if you want to

I like Unexpected from the F-Droid store but takes a little bit to get used to it.
