This one I already have here, but it will not bend that nicely.

Premo-Flex FFC jumpers in ultra-thin, ultra-flexible 0.12mm cable have an extended flex life of 900,000 cycles vs. standard jumper flex life of 6,000 cycles.

That sounds good, thanks!

Wow great work guys! I have been reading this thread and I have to admit that the whole ideas are awsome!

What I can really understand from the 3d designs is this:
With the keyboard closed will you be able to take a photo or the camera will be hidden?

I don't really know if I will buy a jolla in the near future(I don't have the money right now) but it is such a big thing to make a hw keyboard from scratch

I have seen somewhere about a psp analog stick as well! About that maybe you could use a razor x board instead of the real analog stick!


What it does:
Instead of having an analog stick, it makes it works like a key, but it feels like an analog stick and it is better for the room too, because this board makes the stick thinner!(Just an idea )

Where can I get this? Price/availability? Dimensions? Additional hw to get this working?

Why not simply stick with the N900 keyboard? The Motorola keyboard doesn't have any number keys anyway, and most of us are very familiar with the N900 keyboard (never underestimate habit)!

I am not sure if you can really buy them anymore and from where! But there are some tutorials that shows you how to make a homemade board for this, or maybe do this without a board as well(but it will be a little messy maybe?)

Here are some different tutorials from acidmods(not sure if I am breaking a rule or something... if yes sorry, just tell me and I will delete them...):
http://www.acidmods.com/forum/index....c,34880.0.html
http://www.acidmods.com/forum/index....c,27423.0.html
http://www.acidmods.com/forum/index....html#msg282228

The whole idea is this:
The psp's stick has a small spring on it, which you can use it as ground and use the other four pins/metals for making it work as 4 keys

By the way kimmoli I like the way you are thinking

This has been stated before, but again:

1. domesheet is not available
2. makes construction more complex and thus weaker.

I like! Stick it in your UART-OH!

As stated before, the key in building a successful qwerty-oh is using of-the-shelf products!

I saw a lot articles about typo keyboard for iphone has got some millions of bucks by some investor, and they only come out with a cheap bt keyboard case which does not even physically connected to the phone. They should really invest to Dirkvl probably 1/10 or money will be enough for a product better than typo.

Sorry for the offtopic, that looks very nice, will buy instantly when available.

I can't find if there is someone selling it anymore... Not even on ebay...
So if you will include the analog stick, you will have to use it as it is without modding it...

By the way, with what type of keyboard will you make it? I have seen so many different styles!

It will look like this. That is the A855 Droid keyboard. Reasons for this keyboard are mentioned repeatedly in this thread, but are mainly availabilty, price and complexity.
