What's a non-shit, non-botnet keyboard for Android?

AOSP and AnySoft are open source but quite lacking in features.

OTG adapter and a mechanical keyboard.

Fleksy
>>
>>53393317
Is Fleksy safe enough?
>>
>>53393332
They have a good privacy policy, but you have to trust them, it's not open source
>>
>>53393317
PRIVACY
Fleksy does not collect any personal data without your explicit permission. We take privacy very seriously.
The warning message that says Fleksy may be able to collect "all the text you type, including personal data like passwords and credit card numbers" is part of the Android operating system that appears when any third party keyboard is enabled.
>>
>>53393339
Yeah... Their description of privacy surely sounds trustworthy...
>>
>>53393269
I really miss swype. Too bad aosp keyboard doesnät have it.
>>
>>53393269
SwiftKey
>>
>>53393350
Which part is the problem? All keyboards can see everything you type, the only truly safe thing to do is uninstall all keyboards and do >>53393297

I use SwiftKey

>>53393269
Hacker's Keyboard.
Sounds cringey and all but it's good.
>>
>>53393412
I didn't spend that long trying it but it felt like a more hackable AOSP. Still missing features like swipe.

>>53393359
>>53393369
It's being acquired by Microsoft. What's our guarantee that it's going to be trustworthy from this point?
>>
>>53393365
You can however use a firewall and deny their Internet access.

>>53393506
Exactly. That doesn't sound honest at all.
>>
>>53393506
>>53393523

Literally all keyboards require that permission, even aosp has it

>>53393610
>Hacker's Keyboard
>no internet required
Why are all the others lying?
>>
I always use stock keyboards, right now I am using the Stock Note 5 keyboard.

Im looking for something good, and black.
So that I can save some battery.

i use SwiftKey and I'm happy with it.

>>53393269
Eh...AOSP
You can have the same features in Google Keyboard in AOSP can get swype but its pretty tricky.I think someone in Aptoide has already made an AOSP keyboard as botnet free as it can called 'Android L keyboard'.Still the swypelibs aosp uses is proprietary.
Best bet is to install a feature rich keyboard and afwall+ and block it from data access,

>>53393353
AOSP can have it with a little trick
