I didn't realize how bad Samsung keyboard was until now. Id forgotten I never changed it on my phone (I've had my phone for like 5 years) , even though I swapped to Gboard on my Samsung watch ages ago.

I use Fcitx for Android for Japanese typing.
Though, sometimes I still revert to old Mozc Android release, which not updated by Google anymore for more than five years.
Seems pretty recent, I've been looking for Heliboard upgrade because it's not that great for other languages. Thanks for the mention
I said the same thing recently and am currently trying TypeWise! So far it's alright.
I used yo use a keyboard called "hackers keyboard" then idk what happened but i uninstalled it. Used to be the best. Now i just use the built in one..
None, at least if you don't mainly use English.
Tbh nothing comes even close to Gboard for me. The layout, the autocorrect, the simplicity, the swipe typing. Everything is perfect.

FUTO, Thumb-key, and AnySoftKeyboard for me on different devices.
Openboard is the only good one on android
Sadly it isn't maintained anymore :(((
Heliboard is a close second but you can't increase the buttons' size
