OpenBoard vs Gboard Comments
D33pSh33pIt's basically the open source alternative to Gboard doing all the same while also being privacy-oriented and trustworty (unlike proprietary virtual keyboards that undoubtedly are not your friend, unfortunately). OpenBoard is a no-brainer and I urge people to try it. :)
BrexshitThere is a numpad layout but no option to default to it. The defaults (like auto-correction enabled) could be better. But it's still my preferred keyboard, especially as the fork fixes some annoyances: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard
braindedIt looks similar to Gboard, so doesn't take much time getting used to it. It also looks very clean and polished

FlorisBoard vs Gboard Comments
Top Positive CommentJoão LourençoIt would take Openboard's place if dev didn't sleep on this project, as it doesn't have basic dictionary and auto correct
It is easy to use customize
isaacsgraphic2It's ok, but the swipe typing isn't great. It doesn't show alternative word suggestions, so you can't quickly correct, you gotta go back and delete. If you don't use swipe then it's a solid alternative.

AnySoftKeyboard vs Gboard Comments
Top Positive Commentundeniably_lizardIt took a bit of time for me to get used to but it eventually worked out. A great alternative to Gboard with lightweight (10 MB) and has no unnecessary features (GIFs, stickers etc.)
Top Negative CommentDL300There is no way to get a default keyboard feel. Every single layout option has some idiotic decision like how if you want symbol hints your L key is replaced by an apostrophe. Ignore the shills.

36 FUTO Keyboard alternativesWe believe that if your computer keyboard doesn't ask for internet access, neither should your mobile keyboard. FUTO Keyboard is a modern keyboard app with voice input that is completely offline and never connects to the internet, in order to ensure your privacy and security.

FUTO Keyboard vs Gboard Comments
cozy2769I love FUTO because the typing experience feels exactly like Gboard but without the tracking, and the clipboard actually remembers what you copy unlike Gboard. The downside is the lack of an optimized layout for tablets.

- FUTO Keyboard is Privacy focused and Customizable
Small open-source keyboard with minimal permissions offers adjustable height, number row, navigation keys, customizable themes, and no ads, emojis, spell check, or swipe. Ideal for those preferring basic functionality without extra features or background data use.
