| Maxdamantus | Hmm.. This second bluetooth keyboarh I bought is actually not too bad. | 13:12 |
|---|---|---|
| Maxdamantus | Other than the fact that there's a touchpad on the right side, so ha | 13:13 |
| Maxdamantus | .. have to reach right hand quite far over. | 13:13 |
| Maxdamantus | not used to touch typing Dvorak on it yet (unlike on N900) | 13:14 |
| Maxdamantus | So this one uses a different chip.. CYW20730, which is part of some module that's soldered onto the main PCB. | 14:28 |
| Maxdamantus | In case anyone's actually interested, it's this keyboard: https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Portable-Lightweight-Bluetooth-Controller/dp/B00BX0YKX4 | 14:30 |
| Maxdamantus | The construction of teh keypad itself is nicer than the N900's imo | 14:31 |
| KotCzarny | nice layout | 14:31 |
| KotCzarny | i wonder why no one made the touchpad below spacebar | 14:34 |
| KotCzarny | or in the center | 14:34 |
| KotCzarny | also, fn should be on the sleeve | 14:34 |
| Maxdamantus | Should be possible to just cut the touchpad part off. | 14:35 |
| KotCzarny | for combos | 14:35 |
| KotCzarny | well, you will lose rmb and keypad | 14:35 |
| Maxdamantus | Though the bluetooth antenna does go slightly under the left part of the touchpad, but maybe that's not useful if it's kept directly next to the phone. | 14:35 |
| Maxdamantus | Why would a phone need an extra touchpad? | 14:36 |
| Maxdamantus | It's got a touchpad over the entire screen. | 14:36 |
| KotCzarny | well, im talking about kb in general | 14:36 |
| KotCzarny | ie. for tv box | 14:36 |
| Maxdamantus | Heh, yeah, dunno. | 14:36 |
| Maxdamantus | Actually, I have seen pictures of some that have the touchpad below or in the middle. | 14:37 |
| Maxdamantus | Don't want one that's in the middle, since I can't just cut that off. | 14:37 |
| KotCzarny | you can find ones without touchpad too | 14:37 |
| Maxdamantus | I couldn't, at least don't think I could find any that were currently buyable. | 14:38 |
| Maxdamantus | excluding maybe the non-Bluetooth wireless ones. I've excluded those. | 14:38 |
| Maxdamantus | Hmm.. and it looks fairly likely that this keyboard could use UART. | 14:46 |
| KotCzarny | have you checked aliexpress? | 14:46 |
| Maxdamantus | Since the SoC supports "Bluetooth 5.1 UART HCI", and since this is all very HCI-specific, I imagine it would function by default as long as Bluetooth itself works. | 14:47 |
| Maxdamantus | Yes, I think I've checked aliexpress. | 14:48 |
| Maxdamantus | There are a lot that look like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32983387498.html | 14:49 |
| Maxdamantus | but afaict they're just some proprietary wireless USB. | 14:49 |
| Maxdamantus | so very unlikely to work wired, and using them wirelessly requires their special dongle. | 14:49 |
| Maxdamantus | Oh, actually, that UART support will just be for using regular Bluetooth to talk to a UART device. | 14:52 |
| Maxdamantus | Not for doing Bluetooth over UART, dunno why I thought that existed. | 14:53 |
