so far, so good! ;)
well, very good :cool: :D

Great work! This is looking so good already! Crossing fingers for being able to get my hands on one. Wish there was a preorder/prepay option. :)

just voted

No, I do not require this functionality

on DIP_TOH -- lots of toggles! -- orders 8/12

a hardware keyboard is a MUST have.
if one wants more, well... isn't the trend towards simplified interface with function drop-in / pop-up as needed / appropriate?

read your posts there & agree about the Quality over quality of functionality of the TOH development process
however, i was wondering... if you already added the holes for camera / flash on the inner part of the TOHKBD rev2, how much complexity / cost would it be to add a camera button?
just like the hardware keyboard, it's one of those fundamentally useful features, must-have of sort...
but yeah, why not a phone answering button, flash light button, whatnot button...

PS (back to topic): will there be an ESC key?
slash ( / )?
that's the kind of keys w/out which a keyboard under Linux loses a lot of its... usability :-\

No indication on what the price will be and do not know yet if all new things I want to do are possible yet. When this is clear however, there will probably be this possibility, because without I would run into liquidity issues very fast.

I don't understand what you are trying to say. Please elaborate!

Not much cost or complexity, but finding a 2-stage camera button that fits within 0.6mm height is a challenge. You are very welcome to join the hunt! (2.2mm if it fits in a cutout)

Andrew is in charge of the keypad and has full creative freedom in this. This was his latest render of what he had in mind, but some minor details will change. Happy?

That render looks awesome. I didn't think I needed a keyboard, but if it turns out somewhat like that with good functionality it's a must have!
