Pinephone Keyboard feedback
#6
I waited for my keyboard to arrive for two months, ordered on January 1st and delivered on March, 2nd! After some days of usage I have to say that I am overall quite happy with it.

Things I've done and that I think needs to be done in general:
- install the userspace driver, much better keys configuration than the kernelspace one (I am using mobian)
- add the shim between connectors and the case
- install the userspace utilities to check battery case charge
- understand that the battery in the keyboard is to be used like a powerbank and get used to the 'click' and 'double click' to switch it on and off
- install some sort of command to switch on and off the virtual keyboard
- install a better terminal to take profit from the whole screen estate (I went with xfce4 terminal fullscreen)

Things that could/should be improved
- key feeling (specially the first row)
- led to indicate the power bank is on/off
- BACKLIGHT! That is my really single complain

I am still missing my good ol' N900, but in the end I am VERY happy to be able to carry around a pocket linux computer. I am slowly moving towards making the pp+kb my daily driver, main hurdle beign that I am still feeling uneasy with the usage of my BT headphone/mic combo for phone calls.
