I really recommend AnySoftKeyboard.
Unexpeted Keyboard is the one for me. Takes a bit to get used to but I wouldn't want to use anything else anymore.
I tried most of them, it's just not the same as Gboard.
Anyone know if you can block Gboard with DNS?
Idk but you could always just install gboard & not give network permissions. You'll lose a little functionality like the ability to add gifs from the keyboard which obviously need internet to search/load.
I'm using open board with swipe entry (so it functions like gboard). My only complaint is I've noticed I have to be extremely accurate in my swiping or it won't type out the intended word).
In this message alone: my first attempts at the word "type" came out as toe. "Out" came out as TT & "along" came out as "alone"
So it's definitely not perfect. I might stick with it. I might just go back to gboard and not grant it network permission. It's only been about a week so a little too early to tell..
