User Reviews

Unexpected Keyboard is praised for privacy-first, open-source design, customization, and coding-friendly features that keep many symbols on the main keyboard. Its symbol swipe and compact UI are highlights. However, it lacks swipe-to-type and autocorrect, which many users miss, and layout-switch quirks and swipe sensitivity can be frustrating. Some reviews also note a privacy warning and emojis lagging behind current Unicode. Overall, it’s a powerful, privacy-focused option for power users who prioritize control over traditional predictive features.

Pros

Open-source, privacy-respecting design that does not share data
Highly customizable and compact UI with flexible layout options
Coding-friendly: useful for typing specific syntax and accessing special characters without leaving the main keyboard
Innovative symbol swipe feature with visible symbols on the keyboard, reducing search for symbols
Generally strong, well-regarded performance and open-source ethos appreciated by power users

Cons

No swipe typing or predictive text / autocorrect functionality present
Lack of autocorrect can be a dealbreaker for some users (notably UK variant)
Layout switching can reset features or behave inconsistently between layouts
Swipe gesture sensitivity can cause typos due to micro-delays; sensitivity tuning requested
Emoji support lagging behind current Unicode version (emoji version update requested)
