Not sure if anyone makes one with either of those though. Being Bluetooth 3.0 it should be fine so long as they've not gone for nonstandard quirks.
I received the keyboard today and it actually works quite well. No problem connecting to the Pinephone's built-in bluetooth. Touchpad action isn't bad considering the small size. Obviously on a small keyboard like this you won't be writing any novels but it's a heck of a lot better than the on-screen keyboard for using the terminal. About the only downside I see is with bluetooth enabled on the Pinephone battery life will be shorter.
Zebulon Walton, are you still happy with the keyboard? I tested your keyboard with PMOS, it always disconnected. So I decided for the PinePhone keyboard. Wibble published some interestesting tests about the iGo Stowaway bluetooth keyboard here:
