Yes, and that was the biggest mistake you could possibly have made. I like using the TOHKBD I bought from someone else who didn't like it and I'm even grateful you guys made it (it's one of the only really cool uses the TOH concept ever got), but when you take into account that at no point in time have all of the keys ever worked the way they should without requiring you to press really hard on the center keys or the top row to make them register at all, and when you take into account that the connection between the keyboard and the device itself also drops fairly frequently, there is simply no other way to describe it than as a really poor and highly unreliable physical keyboard that's a hard sell even to enthusiasts. I almost forgot to mention that the TOH is 1mm too large, so it doesn't fit as snugly as it should. I am saying nothing whatsoever about Dirk's other way too large yet pretty expensive novelty TOHs that nearly fall off when you pick the phone up off the table. Or Dirk's green TOH material that turns into blotchy yellow when touched by human hands.

You're free to criticise this project however you want, but please don't insert yourself into the comparison because your product is not even worth comparing to a pipedream.
