Same question, floris board came the cloests to replacing non-FOSS keybaords for me.
The main reason I didn't switch yet was the lack of word suggestions / autocorrect. We rely on it so much
Other things that would be nice to have:
You are tapping on a piece of glass. What is a "clicky feeling"? Vibration, or a popup?
The vibration pretty much
I just took a look at FlorisBoard again, and it looks like there are settings to change the vibration intensity and length. Setting it to the highest intensity and lowest length brought things very close.
A tiny difference I noticed that I could live without
For what it's worth, long press special characters on google keyboard dont vibrate on release, which I think is silly. It should always do that (maybe even having some lighter vibration feedback when a special character is used)
I found that the Pixel 7 pro finally got close to an iphone 8 in terms of realistic haptic vibrations. The 6a doesnt work with florisboards "define vibration yourself" though.
So in general useful haptic vibrations like on iphones where just never there. Not sure about other brands but all android phones I had had unrealistic vibrations.
