Clicks – Physical keyboard for iPhone

Re:Clicks – Physical keyboard for iPhone by boomskats on Thursday January 04, 2024 @04:10PM (#38872302)

For anyone interested in something closer to the feel of the original Bold keyboard, the Fairberry[0] uses the keyboard from the BB Q10, which is excellent and can be had for about $5 a piece. They can look pretty decent and are more easily removed.

If anyone wants one PM me, I'll mail you a couple. I've got like 30 of them.

Would it work on an iphone if the USB is adapted? I'm curious on getting one of these to work.

I've not tried it, but if you check out the mainboard Readme [0] it mentions the possibility of a lightning port connector. I assume OTG is how the product OP linked to works too.

Looks pretty interesting! I'd like to purchase one to repurpose my old Nokia. Do you have dimensions by any chance? Couldn't find any PM Info from your account

Ah, sorry - same handle on the big X or the other big HN-funded social network.

I've been messing around with Q10 keyboards, MCUs and cases but not got to anything as good as a Fairberry - I'd love one or two if you have spares! Couldn't see details for private messaging you, but my profile has enough to email me on :) How is the software support? I'm using Blackberry Keyboard on my Key 2 and it's pretty good, does that work okay with Fairberry?

How exactly is one supposed to PM, Twitter? Very interested as I deeply miss the Q10/KeyOne/Key2 experience.
