Have you thought about using a folding Bluetooth keyboard? Not the sort of thing you want to carry around, but could be useful if you use the phone a lot at home.

I have the same problem and have probably tried most of the so-called “large” keyboards.

The one I ended up with is 1C Big Keyboard. It has a slightly different layout to the usual keyboard but fine once you get used to it.

The font size and style can be altered and the predictive text is pretty good, but no swipe facility unfortunately.
