I’ve looked at a few on fdroid and they all seem like they aren’t being maintained anymore.
Edit: I’ve spent the past day trying most all of the suggested keyboards here and I think I’ve landed on either Unexpected Keyboard or AnySoftKeyboard. Thanks for all the suggestions. Thumbkey is quite the thing to get used to.
I develop thumb-key, so it’s maintained.
Typed with thumb-key. This is so hard, but im determined :)
Usually gets much easier after a few days.
Hey, thumb-key is really cool! I’ve been using it for a bit and it has solved my issue of constantly fat-fingering wrong letters into what I’m trying to type on other keyboards. I just want to say thanks for developing it and keep up the good work!
god bless you

OpenBoard is great and supports swipe typing using a Google library.
+1 for floris, it’s the only keyboard with glide typing and themes are super good.
I use it too but i haven’t figured out how to enable autocorrection.
Which is interesting in a sense because since then i know that i don’t know how to spell most words.
I am inclined to keep it off just so that i have to think a bit more about what i write.
As of the latest version (v0.4.0-alpha04) autocorrect isn’t implimented yet. Here’s what I get when I open the settings:
Waiting on that myself.
Florisboard is a good one.
Yep, hoping they will keep updating… buy still better than most the way it is…
They do, the author just recently started working on it again and welcoming contributions :)
So this is definitely not for everyone but Thumb-Key is privacy friendly and designed to be used with just one thumb. I have used Thumb-Key (and it’s predecessor Message Ease) for about 4 years now and they are way easier for me than qwerty, there are fewer buttons so typos are less frequent and you can access all letter/numbers/punctuation while holding your phone one handed.
It’s kinda like Japanese keyboards
In general or just on phones?
On phones
Florisboard and OpenBoard are good. Sadly the primary version of OpenBoard seems unmaintained, but there is this fork by Helium314 with extra features and bug fixes that’s still maintained.
AnySoftKeyboard
Sadly the development stopped, but still one of the most feature-rich.
