    Thumbkey created by @dessalines@lemmy.ml

    It takes a lil time to get used to but is fast and efficient once you are.

    The main reason I use it is because it’s completely manual and intentional. I got frustrated with other keyboards always suggesting the wrong words and sometimes even over riding the words I intentionally (often painstakingly) typed with an entirely different word that it incorrectly assumed I meant to type.

      Yes! You can get keyboards from the appstore. At least you can on android as far as I know.

      I’m asking what people use because Graphines default keyboard kinda sucks ass and is missing a ton of emojis

      I’m thinking of just installing gboard but euargh I hate the idea of google getting even more data from me. Especially if it’s everything I type.

    I use Heliboard and Desh Chinese Keyboard for the Chinese I’m definitely learning and haven’t not learned for months at all

    Don’t think Desh is open source though, but Chinese support is poor in the options I’ve looked at

    iPhone, just the stock one. It’s atrocious. It misspells, and wrongly corrects things more often than it gets it right. I’ve tried changing keyboards, and every single OS update it gets switched back to default. I’m so used to default at this point that changing just messes me up even further.

    My iPad, I refuse to use an onscreen keyboard. I did some plumbing work for a friend and got a ‘magic keyboard’ case/keyboard thingy made by Apple in lieu of monies and that’s what I use in my iPad. I just can’t use the on screen keyboard on a tablet sized device. I thumb type and the keyboard is too big and awkward for thumb typing. And I’ve never liked the swipe to type thing.

      My favourite thing about the stock keyboard is it has a long standing bug that causes it to press keys you didnt press and it makes me rage like nothing else.

        I need to use am iphone for work and I would rather write messages out by hand and use ocr to send rather than wrestle with the autocomplete and autocorrect

    Privacy focused open source for android. Works pretty well, a little annoying with some punctuation (auto spacing after periods mostly), but not too bad.

    E: see below, using heliboard now, seems quite nice

    GBoard

    I know I know I know I know it sucks so bad. But the last few times I checked there were no other options with swipe typing that could handle my Spanglish

    I just use the default iPhone keyboard. Easily my least favorite difference between Android and iOS is how bad this keyboard is. Swipe typing sucks. I often fat finger keys I should not be fat fingering. Predictive typing is something I have to actively fight against. In fact, it was so bad I turned it off entirely.

    That said, iPhone’s 9-key Japanese keyboard is really good and responsive. That one I don’t have any issues with whatsoever. My typo rate on it is very low since it’s very intent driven. I doubly appreciate the ASCII emoji key on it. It’s pretty fantastic. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

    If you use GOS or a rooted android you can use Gboard and block network access. But you have to keep your profile goo free otherwise also since Gboard and other apps can leak between them so if you have one shitty app that can get Gboard data and then leak to play store etc. Aurora store is a decent solution there. But otherwise anysoftboard.

    I use anysoftkeyboard which I think you can get on Google’s app store and the open source stores like F-droid.

    It has it’s quirks like the keyboard layout on every phone I use it on is different and I can’t make them the same. The app is a mess to navigate as well.

    But it supports swiping and it’s private. I was using Swiftkey previously, it was great, but now it’s Microsoft and they’re pushing their AI shit in the app
