Great! Now bring back phones with physical QWERTY keyboards.

I can appreciate that you want them available but I'd love not to be forced to have one. My fingers are too large for those tiny things.

Yeah I've gotten pretty good with swipe typing

Why not just a case with a slide out Bluetooth keyboard in the back?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pair a full size Bluetooth keyboard to your phone

Now I want to see a full-size keyboard with a special place to mount a phone and a shoulder strap. Maybe some wheels so it could double as a skateboard and you'll be an 80s/90s image of a hacker.

Hack the planet!

(Except those were roller blades because 90s)

That'd be cool, but compatibility is a huge issue. I've looked into buying one, and there's no model available for my device.

I’m just saying it seems like a more obtainable ask.
