Great handheld keyboard!

I got the order just as the vendor promised. Great little keyboard with a full keyboard layout. I was looking for an example of what a replacement keyboard for a Blackberry style device might look like with a full keyboard layout and this is amazing. I am now going to try and frankenstein this with with a Raspberry Pi and a small screen and see how far I can get.

To the owner of the Parula store, if you ever make one of these with back light let me know as I would love to buy a few of those. I am going to try and 3d print a cover plate because it looks like I can laser etch the key symbols in the space between the rows.

Thanks!

Awesome miniature keyboard

I'm using this with a Pimoroni Hyperpixel and Raspberry Pi Zero W to make a little linux handheld. This keyboard works great and is the most compact full keyboard I've found; one of the only such keyboards, actually. Shipping to Minnesota was unexpectedly fast, about a week. Thanks!

An astonishing and underrated product.

I was searching for a WIRED mini keyboard the size of an average smartphone and the universe answered!
I highly recommend this product if you don't want to reinvent the wheel all by yourself.
Plug and play, it simply works.
It's sturdy and well built.
Overall, it's been a great experience.
With a 3d printer you can print a set of keys to lay on top and it's good to go. Awesome.
Buy it, you won't regret it.

Great novelty, great price

I don't think most folks are picking this up expecting to bang out a blog post or email on it — though you could, if you wanted to. But as a novelty, it's hilarious, and the price is great.
