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!

There is ThumbKey on F-Droid that, if you get good at the layout, I imagine would be ideal for that phone.

worth noting it's one of the main Lemmy devs who made it

thanks, if it works as expected, that might be exactly what I'm looking for
