Gathering interest in a new batch of jolla hardware keyboards — looking for hardware hackers to take it on
Why this topic is?

As you can see here nor dirkvl neither Jolla will create another batch of hardware keyboards. This thread is an attempt to gather all interested people so that maybe, after seeing enough interest, another hardware hacker will take on the job of producing more keyboards, using dirkvl's design. I'm also suggesting allocating a small percentage of the gathered money as a donation to dirkvl, as without his initial work this would never be possible Please post in this topic information with this template: <template> nick(or name/surname): forum nickname: working e-mail: max price to fast queue: max price to slow queue : date of pre-order: actual time of buy other Half: election. % of summary order donate to dirkvl: additional info: </template> Example: <example> nick(or name/surname): Jane Smith forum nickname: jane12345678 working e-mail: j dot smith at bestcorp dot au max price to fast queue: $350 max price to slow queue : $350 date of pre-order: Thu May 1 15:20:57 UTC 2014 actual time of buy other Half: + 6 mounth election. % of summary order donate to dirkvl: 5% additional info: this device very needed for me, I want buy it in all queue, but no more $350.

Re: Idea: get wanters of dirkvl's qwerty other Half and ask about assemble it one of hardware hackers
I think the language barrier has caused a misunderstanding. sHaggY_caT is trying to crowdfund another batch of keyboards by someone who might be interested if he sees there is potential, by re-using dirkvl's work, which in itself I think is a noble cause.
He was also kind enough to allocate a small part of the would-be-funds as a donation to the original creator of the keyboard as a thank you gesture. So, I too declare my interest here, and hope that total interested people are enough for someone to step up and start producing more keyboards. |

Please not talk about me :)
I think it is bad idea. I can send link to my profile in social networks, if you don't send it to another or public here. This forum can be start platform to crowdfund: we can search here coordinator (i think, me is bad idea, becouse languge barier), and find engeener. After we find they, we are can start craudsorsing program on special site. |

Ok, sign me up for a 100$, if material availability isn't a problem someone with access to 3d printer should be able to convert 1->2$, with 250$ price more like 1-5

I would certainly like to join the HWKB club. Perhaps the design could be improved as well. Not sure if it is possible but I would prefer a bigger keyboard.

I'd love to have one too! Personaly I'd prefere a slider mechanism like the one of the nokia n97, but dirks design would be fine too.
