I've looked at a few on fdroid and they all seem like they aren't being maintained anymore.

Edit: I've spent the past day trying most all of the suggested keyboards here and I think I've landed on either Unexpected Keyboard or AnySoftKeyboard. Thanks for all the suggestions. Thumbkey is quite the thing to get used to.

OpenBoard is great. I've tried a few and it just feels like a privacy-focused version of G-Board

I can't figure out how to use Swype?

Thank you. Typing with swipe right now! Didn't realize the fork had the library
