Should I just never use the PP keyboard?
#2
Wow, that does suck. Personally, I would remove the keys from the keyboard and see what might be causing them getting stuck. Maybe remove one keycap?

Someone fixed the top row with some extra paper (or extra 3D-printed rings): https://avery.cafe/blog/a-quick-fix-for-...s-top-row/
Maybe something similar will work for you?

Are all the keys getting stuck?

About the battery inside the PPKB - it should be safe to use your keyboard, but treat the USB port of the phone as if it doesn't exist anymore, as you said. There's some extra info here about those stories you mentioned: https://www.pine64.org/2022/05/31/may-up...-the-wait/

Personally, if I would have received your PPKB instead of mine, I would have wasted an unjustifiably long time trying to hack it to work, then give up on it and swallow the cost if it didn't work at all. I might have even ordered a second PPKB, if other people said it's only a defective one. But I'm desperate for keyboards on phones, so don't take my advice too seriously.
