    Maybe a phone with a clicks case? I’ve been contemplating getting one for my iPhone, but I think it will be way too top heavy. They’ve also now done one for the moto razr series foldables, those lend themselves a bit better for the extra length of a keyboard

      Looks interesting, thanks for replying, I hadn’t heard about this. I wonder how it compares to a blackberry keyboard to actually use. A bit too expensive for me as I would have to buy a new phone and all the options currently available are quite expensive phones but I’m definitely going to keep this on my radar and maybe try and get one to try when I can get a second hand pixel 9 for a good price maybe.

        Yeah that’s keeping me from it as well. And maybe the fact that I use a keychron at work that I can just connect via bt to my phone for some lengthier chats

          There is also this “Fairberry” project that is basically building the same thing but with a blackberry keyboard that I have had saved for years now I just don’t really feel confident with being able to put it together myself and also don’t have access to a 3d printer to make the case part or the skills to modify it for my phone.

          I have wanted to look into getting someone to make it for me but when the cost of materials and then paying someone to construct it is going to start costing a similar amount to what I paid for the phone it becomes harder to justify.
