Just recently installed Gboard, because stock Samsung keyboard is so trash it gives me headaches.
While I normally use whatever the default keyboard app is, I do sometimes use Unexpected Keyboard. It doesn't have auto-correct but it has more keys available than even normal keyboards do. It may take some getting used to though as, for example, to use the "alts" for each key, you have to swipe in that direction. So for example if you wanted to press "Esc" with the default settings, you'd press q and swipe diagonally down and to the right.
For customization, I don't know if you can add images or gifs but there is some visual options and you have pretty much full control over the layout of the keyboard and what keys it has.

Similar to Godan, but I prefer this one.
are there any good ones for dyslexics? I hate SwiftKey but have yet to find anything that helps with spelling. I know I can use voice to text but sometimes you don't want speak to your phone in a crowded place.
i used to use touchpal, because I liked that I could swipe up on a key to get the upper case version of the letter, or swipe in other directions to get other variants.
They enshittifies the product a few years back by inserting ads into every app i was using.
These days i just use the android default, but I miss the functionality touchpal had.
