I’m looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I’ve found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

    I use FlorisBoard. It’s not perfect, but it has a fully featured clipboard and undo-redo functionality. Missing the swipe tho.

    I use Gboard but with internet access disabled for it. I haven’t found a comparable open source keyboard yet.

    I use thumb-key, made by dessalines. I downloaded it from fdroid

    If you check out screenshots, you’ll see that its a very non traditional type of keyboard that requires time and effort to get the hang of.

    Once you do, you will be able to type roughly as fast as you would with predictive swipe

    Privacy respecting, but not open source:

    Typewise

    (Also a lot less typos and faster writing once you get used to it.)
