Play along - create a PinePhone keyboard

[Lister]

I read a few complaints about fxtec pro 1 and one of those Chinese gaming pocket pcs (gpd win 2?) that people couldn't reach keys in the middle of the keyboard with their thumbs. So maybe a split keyboard would be in order? So that thumbs need not reach towards the middle?

A split keyboard is an extremely good idea. It would also be nice if the keyboard were programmable, maybe with QMK firmware. 

Not at all. A vast majority of people do not want, use, or like split keyboards. Any split keyboard would be appreciated by 15-20 people and hated by 100s to thousands.

The keyboard is presumably to small to type on it with all ten fingers so a thumb friendly layout is in order. 

The direction given was N900 style. 
- N900 was not split
- Had no problems with thumb typing
- Have you even used one?

Yes I did, as said I had HTC (desire z?) phone. Had no trouble typing. But the phone was small by today's standards. And while I think I will have no trouble using keyboard sized for today's phones some people semm to.
