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 thumb-key, made by dessalines. I downloaded it from fdroid

If you check out screenshots, you'll see that its a very non traditional type of keyboard that requires time and effort to get the hang of.

Once you do, you will be able to type roughly as fast as you would with predictive swipe

Any tips on how to actually learn this keyboard? Do I just force myself to use it as much as possible until the movements start to become muscle memory? How long might that take?

Yes, muscle memory

Roughly two weeks for me
