Pine phone keyboard ?

[irongarment]

Ok. I updated the OS that was on the phone (KDE edition) and it started working. Hooray. Other stuff stopped working, but them's the breaks I guess.

Could you give a bit of feedback how it feels, handles, what’s working, what is not ?

Ok, first impressions (I've had it for less than a day).

I like it. The keyboard looks great, and coupled with the phone looks like a chunky laptop from the late 90's. It might be a bit large for some.

The keys are not that sensitive, and need to be positively pressed. I haven't tried it on a desk though, just in my hand.

The secondary functions, Shift, Fn, combinations take some getting used to.

I haven't figured out how to hide the on-screen keyboard without disabling the real keyboard.

Pressing Alt-Tab crashes the current session.

I can't open the back of the keyboard using a tool in the recess at the bottom corner- it's very tightly clipped together.

In general, the PinePhone itself needs a lot of polish, and the keyboard is functional but not excellent, however, it works, and I am not at all disappointed. I spent my money on this to support the project, to allow it to be made, and to send the message that this sort of device is wanted, so we should keep doing it.
