I'm wondering.. Chinese have built all sorts of things we never knew we need in our lives. I'm wondering, is there anywhere a physical smartphone keyboard I could purchase? The old-school numpad, like on nokia 3310 or so.

I sometimes find myself in situations where I'd like to type the whole message w/o looking at the screen. Touch-keyboards make this an impossible goal. Having an old-school physical kbd would be perfect for the job!

    There is a learning curve, but twiddler (I can only testify about v2) is quite cool

    @Root to be fair, none of the Bluetooth keyboards I've tried so far map every key properly on any Android device running any ROM.. and I'm quite fond of my < and > keys 😅
    All of them did somehow map properly with a USB keyboard though.. so weird

    @Condor I've never had that problem with mine? Everything works as expected.

    @netikras Single? I've seen some single-hand keyboards before but thought they were kinda silly. No recommendations, sorry 🙁

    I can actually type on virtual keyboards blindly. However, only after getting used to it.

    I wonder if voice messing would actually make sense in this case for once

    There are things like this. I just was hoping to find an old-school one...

    @electrineer voice messaging*. Maybe I should look more at the screen when writing.
