External bluetooth keyboard for FP2

hi!

i was wondering, is there any chance to see a bluetooth keyboard specifically designed to work with FP2? I was thinking of one of those keyboards+phone case similar to this one

I hope i’m not the only one missing keyboards on modern smartphones!!!

I think the main Problem is, that the Fairphone doesn’t fit in these iPhone- or Samsung-specific cases.
One could try to glue a Fairphonecase on top auf this kind of keyboards. But I assume this would look very ugly:D

Or, if you are a Maker, you could try to build one by using the Expansion-port on the back of the Fairphone. So you don’t even need bluetooth;)

Someone did that for the Jollaphone, which has an expansion port too: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2028347278/tohkbd-the-other-half-keyboard-for-your-jolla/description

oh that’s an amazing project! :smiley: i love that keyboard… anyway, i’m not a maker unfortunately. I know available cases don’t fit the Fairphone, that’s why i was asking if there’s a project around at FP to develop this accessory specifically for us

You could contact the makers of the Jollaphone keyboard expansion and ask them, if they could make one for the FP2 also.

i might be picky but i believe we should stick with the FP core values about sustainability and workers welfare and such, that’s why i hope for a product made by them :slight_smile:

They might be willing to also stick to FP’s core values. Their advantage is that they have the know how for such a keyboard extension and FP doesn’t.

good point, i should try to contact them somehow

You might also want to contact Fairphone and bring the two players together. TOHKBD would need the specifications of FP2’s back connector.

I would definite vote for this :smiley:
Bye!

well, not bad, but i prefer the classic slider :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah, it would be extremely cool if a certain someone could make a hardware keyboard for the FP2. :stuck_out_tongue:

I would also be interested in a physical external keyboard of some sort and am sorry the original ost here received no response.
