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.

    So this is definitely not for everyone but Thumb-Key is privacy friendly and designed to be used with just one thumb. I have used Thumb-Key (and it’s predecessor Message Ease) for about 4 years now and they are way easier for me than qwerty, there are fewer buttons so typos are less frequent and you can access all letter/numbers/punctuation while holding your phone one handed.

        What made you initially look for an alt keyboard? I have huge problems hitting the buttons on querty and started by looking for a chorded layout.

          I sawa video on MessageEase and thought it was neat. Also, I hate legacy problems like QWERTY… And things like qwerty on phone screens.

      Thanks for this. I’m starting to learn it, but already feel like I make less mistakes without autocorrect. Sad as I’m a bad speller.
