Does a less annoying Android keyboard/autocorrect exist?

As a means of entry I quite like the default keyboard, but the autocorrect is infuriating. This is what I want from the autocorrect:
  • Never "correct" a correctly spelled word to another word - no "correcting" put->out
  • Never insert punctuation into a word - no more "correcting" were->we're or cats->cat's
  • Never change the capitalisation of a word - no more "correcting" epic->Epic
Does such a thing exist? Anyone have any recommendations for a keyboard?
 
It's Google keyboard. There's also Samsung keyboard on here, but it's no better.

Edit GBoard, apparently, but that is Google's keyboard, right?
 
I use a mixture of glide and traditional typing usually. Glide works okay, it's when I type that its annoying the heck out of me.
 
Swiftkey seems to have most of the same problems, but - in any case - it doesn't offer characters with umlauts on a long press on a, e, o, and u or ß on a long press on s, and since I'm sometimes type in German that makes it not terribly useful to me (yes, I could switch the layout to a full Deutsch one but that's even more annoying).
