I had this problem, it would charge and detect the keyboard was there (on screen keyboard wouldn't appear, but keyboard didn't input anything), It was down to the clip around the pins not being clipped in, so it was effectively pushing the case away from the pins. I had to give it quite a squeeze for it to pop in.

Although to be honest, after using mine for a month I gave up for various reasons such as upgrades breaking things.

I have a NexDock that I think was a kickstarter a few years ago that is a dumb laptop (hdmi in, usb for charging, bluetooth keyboard and mouse) that could be plugged into a phone. Used it for Raspberry Pis and Intel Compute sticks for a while.

I am hoping I can do this with the librem5 and a dock.

Might not be exactly what you're thinking of, but Derren Brown did similar against a group of players
