  "account": "The writer has been using Gboard for a long time before switching to the Samsung keyboard on their Galaxy S20. After trying the Samsung keyboard for a while, they found it met most of their basic text needs – a number row, one-handed and floating modes, resizing, shortcut toolbar, plus a clipboard. However, the clipboard in Gboard only keeps recent items, unlike the Samsung keyboard which holds many more items without auto-removal. The Samsung keyboard also offers Writing assist tools like spelling, grammar, writing style, summarizing, and composer, as well as glide typing improvements. Customization options were limited on Samsung, but the Good Lock app greatly expands them with Keys Cafe and Theme Park. Keys Cafe allows total button customization, including moving, resizing, and changing colors. When the writer finally got Good Lock, they switched back to the Samsung keyboard, finding it one of the most customizable options. While Good Lock's features were impressive, the writer concluded that Gboard's smart tools like autocorrect and predictive text were still superior and saved them more time overall. So, despite trying Samsung, they are sticking with Gboard for now.",
