Slide out keyboard discussion thread
#19
I'm an N900 veteran so I'm very interested in a slide out keyboard.

I don't like clamshell keyboards because then I'd have to open it even if I wasn't using the keyboard. Like for reading or playing a touchscreen-game. Notifications aren't the big problem with a clamshell keyboards for me, I'm used to opening my phone case and notifications can also be shown on a smart watch. But really that one handed use is limited when you are forced to open the keyboard.

Regarding the mold, in my imagination a slide out keyboard would use more or less the same mold with an additional hole for the I2C pins and the actual sliding mechanism is glued or screwed on.
