[SOLD] Wanna buy tohkbd - does anyone sell one? [answered]
Dear Sailors,
I want to really work on my Jolla 1. A long time ago, I have had a blackberry and the keyboard was great for typing. Now, I am searching for a TOHKBD to get back this kind of efficiency. Does anyone have a good piece for sale?
Thank you in advance!
Cheers, Dejan
I do, but I don't think you like the Finnish/Swedish layout that much ;)

ds1979 ( 2018-07-09 21:11:23 +0300 )editYeah, a proper and integrated hardware keyboard is very useful on a mobile device.
You shouldn't, as you won't "get back this kind of efficiency":
May I suggest considering to buy a Gemini PDA:

Hi olf,
thanks for your very true opinion! I have been thinking about the fact that it would be top-heavy. I just don't see the necessity to buy a new device while ditching a working piece of hardware, hence the Gemini PDA has more than 400g. With this brick, I could kill someone. ;-) So, I would like to go the "hard" way and see what I can do before I really give up.
I am very hopeful that I will have less typos with a hardware keyboard than with the touch screen keyboard. And the main purpose is to use it with the terminal on the go. The problem is that I have to type most stuff twice because the touch screen keyboard is so tiny in terminal. And - to be honest - I really dislike this. For me, the optimum would be to have a good bluetooth keyboard like the Waytools TextBlade. Unfortunately, this thing does not really take off.
So I would first try the minimal solution by using TOHKBD and take it further. Perhaps I can restore some of the tear and wear with my own 3D printer.
But: as soon as my Jolla 1 hits someone (I do imagine this sometimes ;-) ), I will consider the Gemini PDA immediately. :-)) I think that this is a perfect tool for work on the go. Just the weight is a bit of a problem. I would like to hold it and try it for a week to find out if it is a true solution to my needs. Because on the go, my Jolla fulfills all my needs. Just the terminal stuff is a bit of pain in the *ss because of the tiny keys.
