I need weird advice for soft keyboards

Hi everyone. I'm close to buying a Unihertz Jelly Star (this nugget here). One of the last things keeping me away from ordering is my concern with typing quality. ("Say what, on a three inch screen??")

Normal qwery-keyboards won't cut it, and thus I'm looking for recommendations on software keyboards for either tiny screens or super fat fingers. As I don't love auto correct, are there any T9-like keyboards for Android (9 keys is quite few, but how about like half of the keys of a full size keyboard)? Also, is there a way to install WearOS (or whatever Google calls it this week) keyboards on a normal Android phone?

If you've got either very fat fingers or a tiny screen, hit me with the keyboard apps you're using. Thanks a lot!

  • I use MessagEase keyboard. It's a has sizable learning curve. When I was learning I would only do crosswords. But now it's basically all I use on my phone in most situations. I would consider it quite close to T9

    • You should replace it with thumbkey, it's even made by the Lemmy devs!

      • Fuck. While you're right, I am not learning a new a layout. I imagine that I can customize the layout to be like mine. But I'm lazy.

        I retract my recommendation though. OP, listen to this guy.

        • They have it in the settings it's the top option under layout, choose messagease.
