Microsoft used to have a word flow keyboard I absolutely adored and they killed it. I miss it terribly.

SwiftKey! I loved that keyboard and you're right, they killed it.

The OG Swype was the best. Used it until it was too old to be installed on current gen android

Still miss it every day I have to use a phone keyboard. Even swiping this text had me re"type" multiple times that I didn't have to do back in swype days

Using standard gboard, but swiftkey wasn't really better in my experience

No the curved thing. The corner was the space bar, the keyboard bend around that corner. You could one hand it better than you can two-hand a modern one on big phones. I LOVED it. I am still violently angry it’s gone.

Just talking about it…wait a second. I need to wipe out a family.
