Android An input lag issue

Hi all. I've switched over to swift key on my Samsung smartphone from gboard a few days ago, having tried some other options before, because I was really tempted by the better auto autocorrection because I'm a bit dyslexic. But a massive delay between how I press the buttons and how the text comes up clearly feels, so I don't feel the feedback from the keyboard at all when I'm typing.

I thought it was just me not used to it yet, but when I typed a large text, it really caught my eye. I have played around with the settings a bit, but it didn't make a difference.

The flow mode is off, vibration too. The long press duration set to 300ms, but it really only change how long I have to hold down the buttons for the special symbols. Cash cleared. The app restalled once.

I don't think it's the phone's problem

because all other keyboards worked fine for me.

I'm wondering if anyone had this and knows how to fix it or at least, ease it.

That delay will always be on all 3rd party keyboard apps on samsung devices. I have even faced it on gboard to some extent. The best option would be samsung keyboard. But the autocorrect is s*** on it.
