I’m looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I’ve found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?

I use an OpenBoard fork with gestures after giving up Gboard.

Does it support ota updates by any chance?

This was a one off that hasn’t been updated in almost a year. I doubt it’s getting any more updates.

Might want to look into Obtainium, automatic updates from any git repo.
