    Here’s what I want: tiny, one handed bluetooth chord keyboard.

    For typing on my phone. Can someone make one?

      you can make a ferris sweep. you would just choose which side you’d want and setup your layout with QMK. If you want Bluetooth, just use the nice! Nano controller. A coworker built one. It’s tiny, about the size of your hand. He would also carry it around in his pockets and connect through USB to his phone for emails.

      The only problem is he customized the hell out of the layout. I think he used Colemak. His layers kinda looked like this:

      He said he had trouble using regular keyboards after getting used to it. He always had to carry it around with him.

        Yeah, that’s a lot of work with tools I have no idea with. Definitely a fun project but I don’t have the time.

      Aren’t there hundreds? Like this one? Or maybe I don’t know what you mean by “chord” keyboard, or you want more tiny?

        A chord keyboard uses combinations of keys, like chords on a piano. You have fewer keys so you can type with one hand. I’m not 100% serious about it, learning curve would be horrendous. But it would be interesting to try. I used blackberry for a long time and I hate screen keyboards.

        And yes, looks like I found one while looking for examples :) It’s $175 on ebay, bit expensive.
