Regarding keypads:
"We started to make all molds and samples now."
Getting 10 of each layout first -of which some will go to backers that also get a proto/developeredition- then if all is good the rest will be made.

Finally finished my administration - gosh that was a fun job - and determined how many TOHKBDs I can sell before risking issues with spares etc.
So, sales are open again!

Quick reply...
Color guide is excellent, but what about including keyboard-layout switch into it? I am not sure what "stealth" means, as keypad layout.
Apologies if it was already asked before.
[Edit]
Does 'stealth' mean that no layout is printed, and user is free to either keep chosen layout in memory, or draw it by hand?
[/Edit]
Random question: would using e-ink display as back-plate of TOHKBD make it bulkier, more fragile, and-or more expensive? And, most importantly, would the phone recognise it as a second display? Yes, sounds funny :-)
More relevant question: is the back-light going to be just white, or is its colour choose-able, too? If the latter, then is it possible to choose colour of each LED?
Best wishes. Thank you.

- add this non-related functionality that makes it more complex
- questions you should ask a year ago
- what do you think?

Are Other Halves stack-able? No, I think? The connectors would be wearing off pretty quickly, I fear...
Is e-ink screen Other Half possible at all? As in, would e-ink screen be recognised by OS as second display? I guess I should be asking Jolla if they plan to release a phone where first display is e-ink
It's just... Backcover for the sake of physical stability, and nothing else, seems to be such a lame use of space...
Another idea for electricity-using Other Half: combine TOHKBD with Light-emitting OH. Or would it be too bulky-and-fragile-and-expensive (and not-working), too?
Best wishes. Thank you.

Join the IRC channel for more quick quesions, or improve your google skillz (even forum has search function), this is filling up the thread with a lot of questions asked a million times before.
