<p>REC - <br>
</p>
<p>Great find! I'm not in the market myself for such a thing, as
much as I like the tactile feedback, TK (tiny keyboards) don't
work for me either... "you can't touch-type on a tiny-keyboard"
(... to the tune of "can't rollerskate in buffalo herd"), but I
*like* knowing that the "free market" continues to innovate for a
larger spectral distribution of users/use-cases than not.</p>
<p>One of the brand descriptions introduced me to the QWERTZ
keyboard which I was completely unaware of despite being a little
fascinated with typewriters/keyboards, etc. and then the AZERTY
as well? I wonder if being multi-keyboard-able is like being
multi-lingual? Shifting from one mode to another almost
transparently to the "self"?</p>
<p>I look forward to a product review from Gil if/when he picks one
of these up. I had one of the clamshell-keyboard phones back
around 2006 which is how I learned to sing the "you can't
touchtype... " ditty. <br>

<div>Almost any bluetooth keyboard should work, and
there are tons of them on amazon if you search

probably too cheap to last for very long. So maybe
look at the DIY keyboard makers, too.</div>

I know about unihertz's titan. and it amuses me. But
niche brand. I just don't like typing on glass, and
being frustrated with the amount of errors I get.<br>

I'm thinking of how apples phones now let you use
lidar to scan stuff to convert to photosomethingery
in 3D. Or how older phones you could theme.<br>

waste and sane prices. 600-900+ for phones is just
bad. Where as 300-500 is at least sane.<br>
