The target number of keys for a device the size of a Pinephone should probably be closer to 50.You are joke not me. Look at old forum https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=7900& and UX50 sony. Old palmtop it have 54 keys (and one rotor, space, hole for rope, sound adjust etc.) and is smalest 2.5 times. No problem add metal 108 keys to pine phone too.
But then, you're probably joking and I'm missing the joke.
You just can't imagine that there are people using other alphabets :-) This is not racism, but rather a lack of imagination. These people must be very tired. Including me. ;(
I gave you an example of a real device that is comfortable and works. PinePhone sets standards, but these are hacker standards. Not corporate.
That's why people like these products so much. Because hackers do something they always wanted to have. Nobody designs terminal computers today. SSH ? nobody uses this.
I use, and many people need normal keyboard for working trought ssh.
<joke>And what do you suggest? 50 keys? But the computer only distinguishes between zero and one !</joke>
