Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human
Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of…

Also, with the coming merger of ChromeOS and Android, there will suddenly be tons of Android users with keyboards.
Sounds like all you gotta do is wait then, since your hyper-niche scenario will become a lot less niche once that happens.
You're actually using one? I saw similar project (or this one) some time ago. I also found BB10 keyboards modified to just act as USB keyboard and even tried to buy one but the supply was very limited and they would be gone in a matter of hours. And I have zero experience with JLCPCBs. And all phones are so big now that attaching extra keyboard to them wouldn't be that practical. I would kill for a modern N900 type phone.
Yeah, I developed that, and I'm daily-driving it since 2021. Wouldn't want to go without one.
JLCPCB is really nice.
The phone does get long, but I got used to it quite quickly.
Where did you get the keyboard? I had a Q10 (and Priv, and Key) but I'm an idiot and I always throw the phones away weeks before discovering their parts may still be useful.
Are you able to use it with a case?
Aliexpress. Spares are €3-6. Quality differs, so it's a bit luck of the draw if you get a good one. But for that price I could just order a handful different ones and pick the best.
I printed a cut-off case that doesn't cover the keyboard attachment part. I just took a random case 3D file for my phone from yeggi.com and cut the bottom part off in the slicer.
On an old phone I used before I printed the attachment big enough to wrap around the case I was using.
I hope you didn't throw out the priv and key. In working order they are ~€150 each on ebay.
Yeah, I have zero experience with 3D printing and all this so for me it's always a too big of a project. Maybe one day I have a bit more time and can get to it

I did but all of them had some hardware issues. Still, if I knew I can use them for other projects I would just kept them in some box but I realized it after I got rid of them.
