REC -
Great find! I'm not in the market myself for such a thing, as much as I
like the tactile feedback, TK (tiny keyboards) don't work for me
either... "you can't touch-type on a tiny-keyboard" (... to the tune
of "can't rollerskate in buffalo herd"), but I *like* knowing that the
"free market" continues to innovate for a larger spectral distribution
of users/use-cases than not.
One of the brand descriptions introduced me to the QWERTZ keyboard which
I was completely unaware of despite being a little fascinated with
typewriters/keyboards, etc. and then the AZERTY as well? I wonder if
being multi-keyboard-able is like being multi-lingual? Shifting from
one mode to another almost transparently to the "self"?
I look forward to a product review from Gil if/when he picks one of
these up. I had one of the clamshell-keyboard phones back around 2006
which is how I learned to sing the "you can't touchtype... " ditty.

is the right size for every day carry and error free thumb typing, but
you'd have to figure out your own phone mount.
Here's the list of all four phones with keyboards from earlier this
year: https://www.androidauthority.com/keyboard-phones-845839/

Mmm. Well what i'm looking for something that might work on the
go. Like shopping or or something. When/if I get texts, or
remember to get or do something kind of thing. So I don't need to
type in get milk, or call therapist if I have the right day. 20
times to a avoid 99 errors, have a neck crink, tired, and be in a
foul, or feline mood when I get home. How would I search for a
case where the KB slides down for when I need it? Do they even exist?

Pity you can't just switch your computer keyboard to act as
your phone's character input, as if you were swapping the
phone in as another screen.
Almost any bluetooth keyboard should work, and there are tons
of them on amazon if you search "bluetooth mini keyboard", and
they're cheap. They're probably too cheap to last for very
long. So maybe look at the DIY keyboard makers, too.

I just don't like typing on glass, and being frustrated
with the amount of errors I get.
