The fastest touchscreen keyboard I've ever found is OpenBoard with Gesture Typing: it's both a regular keyboard and a super-fast Swype-like keyboard. It's open-source and it doesn't connect to the internet, so you don't need to freak out because the APK is 2 years old.

I thought OpenBoard originally used GApps libraries like HeliBoard, but maybe it changed since I last used OpenBoard years ago...
