A feature the Pinephone urgently needs: a keyboard – but which one to you suggest?

Last Updated on June 29, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

I invested a lot of time in reviewing the Pinphone to edit text and compared it to other devices which are on the market for this purpose:

But now that I found that it is device which is suitable for this purpose, the Pinephone keyboard has been pulled from the Pine 64 store.

The only keyboard I know which has been confirmed to work by wibble is the 10 year old Go Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for BlackBerry and Other PDA/Handhelds:

But who wants to fold up the keyboard every time he writes a text? It sould in principle be possible to solder a keyboard to the POGO pins of the Pinephone. But small wired keyboards are very difficult to find. And the developers of the Pinephone Keyboard have already solved this problem.
And now it is not avaible again. What a pity.

All my hard work for the Pinephone in vain, such as install LibreOffice and reviewing it on my site for mobile office:

Since editing text on the Pinephone without a handy keyboard does not make any sense for me personally. So which keyboard you suggest to use?
