I think I might have found a replacement for Gboard just now. First I found Fossify had a keyboard, but no Japanese input. Then I found one I'm gonna have to get used to that I'm currently trying out:
スミレ日本語キーボード ( Sumire Japanese keyboard )
I need to comb through settings to see if this is actually the keyboard for me, but I am liking it sk far. Really have to check if for their English QWERTY board there is a setting to bring the period to the letter section or if it is trapped with the other punctuation and make it so it automatically puts a space after doing one of their suggested words in the top bar thing.
The Japanese board is 9-key and also has a QWERTY romaji board, so I'm satisfiedright now. I personally don'tcare about the romaji board since I can read hiragana and katakana and I prefer 9-key because it's what I am used to on Gboard, but it's coolfor those that need it for any reason.
I also just learned before posting my comment that the keyboard defaults to that Japanese 9-key everytime you bring up the keyboard. Not a big deal, just another thing to learn and get used to.
Edit: switching to HeliBoard for English and switching as need be for Japanese. Just making the switch to get stuff done in a more efficient and timely manner.

Thank you! I've been stuck with Gboard since there are no good 9-key japanese input apps, but this one was instantly usable! This + futo seems like it'll be a good setup for me.

FUTO. It's as basic and barebones as Gboard, while also having more optional features and not owned by Google.
I want to use it exclusively so bad, but I spend most of my time deleting and manually rewriting almost every word when I need to type fast. Been using a swipe keyboards for over a decade, and its swipe feature is still so far behind usable.
And Arabic voice recognition on the advanced multilingual model is garbage, it just types random shit that doesn't even rhyme with what I said.

Another thank you! Sumire is exactly what I have been looking for

I tried FUTO keyboard out for so long and spent ages contributing swipe data. But its without a doubt the worst keyboard all ive ever used. Kills battery and has bad autocorrect.
I'm using heliboard now and it has no swipe but at least auto correct works well and its good on battery.

Typewise.

Once you get used to it, it is very good. Nice large buttons, fast typing, strong privacy (e.g. EU based, on-device-only learning for next word suggestions), customizable, and you can also get the pro version forever with a single purchase instead of using the subscription model.

8vim is wonderful. I love to use it in combination with droidvim and/or vim on my terminal emulator

Once I removed all the TTRJ type non-word allcaps crap from the dictionary, it became much more usable for me.

I'm soooo fucking glad for this question. I've been using thumbkey for like a year, after I got fed up using a normal keyboard. It's sooo convenient I feel like I make a lot less typos using it and sometimes I can even type without lookin at my screen

I tried really hard to like it, but when I found myself starting to two thumb type instead of swiping, I had to remove it. I don't even use my phone that much, but when I send a text I need to not have to fight my phone to write the words I'm trying to write.

You can get get glyde typing with Heliboard but it requires a proprietary library.

Going to try thumb key thanks to this thread and see how it goes. Seems like a steep learning curve but I dig the concept of it. Wrote this (slowly) in it.
