Hello. I haven't posted much recently on this site, since unfortunately having to move away from N810 and N900 some years ago. I went to Android, and a Sony Xperia Pro, which also has a sliding keyboard, but that hardware is showing its age now too.

I've been looking into the possibility of adding landscape sliding qwerty keyboards to modern Android phones. I realise this site isn't about Android, but it is very keyboard friendly, unlike most sites out there!

There are a few people who have taken Bluetooth sliding keyboards, usually designed for iPhones, and adjusted them to fit Android. E.g. and see http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4...r-diy-t3303280

Has anyone here done anything like this and wants to chat about it here?

The keyboard I've tried isn't perfect, more clicky than the N900 and Xperia Pro's one, and a bit flat making it hard to type without looking at it. It would be good if it could connect via USB (ideally with an internal connection) rather than Bluetooth, as BT takes a few seconds to connect each time you want to use the keyboard, and uses battery in the keyboard.

I'm aware of TOHKBD, Neo900, and the What's the best Handheld gnu/linux machine for 2016? thread, but this thread is a little different.
