Pinephone Keyboard feedback
#1
Just got by new cases and wanted to share my first impressions (just look and feel and not commenting of software support).

My first thought was how the case reminded me on a Nintendo DS. And the second was wishing there were shoulder buttons. I'm only half-kidding. If you are holding the case in your hand, you have about 8 fingers doing nothing. It would be nice if at least 2 could conveniently press a button. I believe in remapping keys in software so wouldn't have a strong preference on what the default is but some options that come to mind
  • Volume keys - The only keys on the phone itself aren't easily accessible when holding the keyboard
  • Scrolling UP/Down
  • CapsLock - I think it the default functionality is useless so I had remapped it and now it is a pretty convenient key that I've lost. (Also think Super_L is important so would prefer to not just override that)

The other thing is that the keys don't decompress cleanly unless you press then head on. Perhaps I'm weird, but I noticed that I only hit the corners for a lot of keys (most notably O and P) and they want go down until re-adjust and press closer to the center.

Anyways that's my first impression. Overall I think I'll like the keyboard.
