I do not want to be overly negative, but reading this on Kickstarter

Feel the best tactile typing experience possible with this full-sized hardware keyboard Other Half for your Jolla smartphone.
and then reading the actual experiences on TMO, I wonder - how come these devices passed the QA check?

I don't mind further delays for the keyboard, as long as it is working as it should. I remember reading user reviews for TOHKBD1 back in the day (and then I expressed some concerns about focusing on looks/thickness vs quality during the TOHKBD2 development) and this seems like v1.1 instead of v2.0 based on the first feedback

PS: By delays I mean even waiting for few more months, but then getting the advertised product.

My tohkbd2 works pretty good, the y is a little bit hard, increasing delay avoids extra unwanted repetitions.
[edit: work fine after some usage]

Happy with its size and weight.
I have Sailfish OS 1.1.6/Aaslakkajärvi.
Liked the customable shortcuts for function keys in Tohkbd2 settings, to start applications.
Assume øæå will be fixed, not a big problem for me.
Very nice for native Jolla email and messaging clients.
Virtual keyboard shows on screen for terminal (and emacs), so far.

[edit: Solved, see reply below] Any quick fix, like a dummy small virtual keyboard?

Thanks.

The terminal menu that opens with the button in the upper right corner has VKB behavior. Off, fade, move.

can't change the layout as the option is grayed out in the settings app
Got response from Kimmo in which he said that switching keyboard layout option is waiting for support from Jolla

Yup, tried removing, rebooting and so forth many times.

I don't think that my phone recognises it all.

Kiitos

Written on my TOHKBD.

I didn't think of it at first, but the vkb appears to stay visible even when tohkbd is pulled out and being typed with. In settings the active keyboard does change to TOHKBD when I pull the keypad out, but that doesn't change the onscreen kbd in any way. Anyone else with such an issue? (in a way that's nice, though, since I'm having trouble finding a question mark from the layout )

edit: reboot fixed that, thanks PekkU!

Reboot made the VKB hide when TOKBD is open.

Keyboard now fitted and operational. Phone feels fairly chunky, but I'll get used to it.

I had some issues with several of the keys being unresponsive at first, but after patiently pressing them for some time they all seem to work normally now.

I noticed the FN key area is not backlit up along with the rest of the keyboard, unless a key in that area is pressed. Is this intentional? It seems like a feature but I'm not sure why it would be.
