It’s great. It doesn’t have spell check, but it’s great for writing more characters easily (no long press, just swipe slighty to the side). You can completely customise your layout (and I mean completely, I have my name mapped for easy signing, but also copy, paste, back, compose button…), has Ctrl, Fn, arrows, anything.
Each key can have up to 9 (but realistically 5) characters - one upon clicking, the rest upon a short swipe to one of the eight directions. I haven’t seen another keyboard like this, and it’s so much faster than long press!
Yes, it’s the same technique thumb-key uses but will a full blown traditional qwerty layout.
Imho, Unexpected Keyboard is the best FOSS keyboard for (western/latin-rooted) multi-language environments. It’s a pity they don’t have spell check but when you speak multiple languages the spell check can often get in the way if I’m honest… unless you can select multiple dictionaries at the same time (I haven’t really seen any FOSS keyboard allow that yet).
Unexpected Keyboard is good for quick typing:
