    The one feature that may pull me from Swiftkey. Although i feel like its auto correct and predict are unbeatable somehow for the huge mistakes i make.

      GBoard is only fine if you live in US and speak no other languages :)

      It doesn’t support automatic space addition after punctuation outside of English, doesn’t support combined keyboard layouts (writing thos from a combined de/en layout on SwiftKey).

    *Gboard is preparing to add an entirely new kind of activity to log and send to Google along with all of your normal keystrokes

        This is good from the privacy point of view right?

        But maybe bad from your phone resources being used to train Google’s platforms.

      I haven’t really found a particularly good alternative. I used to use AnySoftKeyboard, but stopped after I found that it was the cause of some performance issues I was having that would occasionally cause characters to be entered out-of-order on a slower Android device.

      The lack of decent open source onscreen keyboards was actually one of my larger surprises when I hit Android. I thought that there’d be keyboards with user-specified macro keys, keys that could be dragged into a new layout or added and removed, etc, but no.

    As someone who has had to deal with Android keyboard input fucking everything up for web developers, please Google, stop this madness already.
