I am searching for an alternative to the standard gboard. So far I found Fossify Keyboard, which was OK, but felt off somehow. I think it was the Fach, that it did not support a full Herman layout. Now I am testing Futo Keyboard. So far it is okay, but still not great. Are there and other options I should try? Also futo supports local ai models, but offers little support for German language. Is it also possible to run it with other ai models that are not in the Homepage? And are there and I could try?
I’m using Heliboard, because I love swipe typing.
Thanks for the tip. This really seems like a good option. I will give it a try.

Extensive recommendations in the comments.
My personal favourite:
https://github.com/dessalines/thumb-key
Though I’m typing this on
https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard
Which used to be my favorite and which I still prefer for use with termux, if I want more space for termux.
Both support scores of languages, thumb key several different layouts for most languages.
Thank you for the tip. I like the idea of thumb key. I think it will take some time to get used to it. But I will also give it a try and see if it sticks.
Florisboard! honestly best keyboard I’ve used so far https://github.com/florisboard/florisboard
I like FUTO Keyboard, sponsored by the same people sponsoring Immich
I still use Gboard with internet access disabled (Graphene). I tried them all, this is the one that seems to work the best for swiping.
I’m probably paranoid but I don’t trust google apps to not be reporting usage back via play services even if internet access is disabled for the individual keyboard application. If you don’t have play services then no problem … but bank apps 🙄 🙁
Unexpected keyboard
