Well just shut up, and take [all] my money.

I have a tohkbd1 I don't use (several reasons, but mostly as some keys don't register), but the quality and much better integration (better than recycling parts) of this tohkbd2 prototype got me.

I'm in. No matter what.

Good job, Dirkvl...it looks good.

As I can see on the render of the keys, there isn't an escape key. I also miss a DEL key and the ` (for making an accent grave, like ò à è ì. A home/end key could come in handy also.

I hope you will post more detailed pictures and a "final" version of the keys. So far, so good!

The magnet idea is totally wicked!
I just wonder if the stength of 2 buttons is enough.

Hello everyone !

I just registered on the forum to answer to that post, but be sure that I follow every topic on this forum since a long time.

I would like to warn you about the using of magnet on the keyboard.
I have a Jolla since 8 months, but I only drop my old HP Pre3 since 5-6 months. And there is a strange thing that I surely remember, this is when I charged my Pre3 on the wireless charger (touchstone), there was a strong magnetic field all around it (it was able to reset my electronic clock near it), and when the Jolla was around (about 50cm), it was bugging totally. The screen wasn't responding well, some apps got launch without action, and he can't be wake up with the power button. But everything went back to normal when I took away the charger.
I hope it will not make the same thing with a simple magnet...because the idea is supra-great

Good point. However;
  • wireless charging uses an alternating magnetic field, like a transformer does, and button magnets create a static magnetic field, even the strong ceramic ones.
  • I have tried a wireless charger (Samsung Qi pad + Nokia Fatboy) with Jolla and the device worked OK while charging, even though charging process itself was sporiadic with Fatboy (which uses some Nokia technology that is not fully compatible with standard Qi)
I grant that "touchstone" might be different from "Qi", but both are wireless charging standards. Hence I find it difficult to believe Jolla would be affected by magnetic fields...
