So that appears to be an actual Blackberry keyboard – are they reclaimed? OEM surplus?
- erohead 3y agoSomeone is still manufacturing replacement parts apparently!
- matbatt38 3y agoIs it even legal? (Serious question)
- girvo 3y agoWhy would it not be? BlackBerry the company (as in the hardware one) doesn’t exist anymore, if parts exist why wouldn’t people be able to use them?
- filmgirlcw 3y agoIt does. They just don’t sell hardware. They sold most of the patents but still retain some and they’ve sued over the keyboard before (Google BlackBerry vs Typo keyboard) so it isn’t a dumb question. That said, if someone else is selling an OEM-like part, I doubt this is high volume enough for the people left at BlackBerry to care.
- girvo 3y agoOkay, I didn’t know that, which was why I asked.
- m0dest 3y agoThe trademark issues with the BlackBerry logo on the keyboard, combined with the "Beepberry" name, are going to be a problem.
