For anyone interested in something closer to the feel of the original Bold keyboard, the Fairberry[0] uses the keyboard from the BB Q10, which is excellent and can be had for about $5 a piece. They can look pretty decent[1][2] and are more easily removed.
If anyone wants one PM me, I'll mail you a couple. I've got like 30 of them.

- vqbd 3y agoWould it work on an iphone if the USB is adapted? I'm curious on getting one of these to work.
- boomskats 3y agoI've not tried it, but if you check out the mainboard Readme [0] it mentions the possibility of a lightning port connector. I assume OTG is how the product OP linked to works too.

- vqbd 3y agoNeat. I couldn't find PM info for you but Id like to get one to adapt it.
- dustmote-cowboy 3y agothis looks great! would be interested in snagging a keyboard
- madethisaccount 3y agoLooks pretty interesting! I'd like to purchase one to repurpose my old Nokia. Do you have dimensions by any chance? Couldn't find any PM Info from your account
- boomskats 3y agoAh, sorry - same handle on the big X or the other big HN-funded social network.
- jaustin 3y agoI've been messing around with Q10 keyboards, MCUs and cases but not got to anything as good as a Fairberry - I'd love one or two if you have spares! Couldn't see details for private messaging you, but my profile has enough to email me on :) How is the software support? I'm using Blackberry Keyboard on my Key 2 and it's pretty good, does that work okay with Fairberry?
- Lorin 3y agoHow exactly is one supposed to PM, Twitter? Very interested as I deeply miss the Q10/KeyOne/Key2 experience.
- kzhe 3y agoThere's no PM function on HN, but I'm interested.
- dfjkdksjds789 3y agoI would love one of these! And then just try to attempt to make a case for the samsung s23.. or bite the bullet to go for fairphone if cant How should I message?
